Yes, my opinion is that the game will begin in June, but of course without spectators. They say that the teams will begin full training at the end of May. I'd like to believe in it and I hope that this epidemic will end soon. Everyone has already missed the cool football !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be surprised if football returns this season
After seeing German players test positive I think the push to re start football is purely financial.
This does not consider the players, officials or those very important backroom staff that keep the game going.
Sadly everything will revolve around finance 😡. Lets hope common sense prevails.
There is a thought.

All sports should start immediately, not only the Premier League. This virus will exist for a lot of years in the future, if the doctors and scientists not find a medicine against it. We should all observe the rules from the governments, but can not wait years to return the sport. Okay now at the start let it be without spectators, but from the next year I think there should be not a problem about that. Also, that will increase the interest in a lot of people,which will try to affect positive their lives at the moment.
yes, the show must go on.
Many people enjoy watching sports, at home, even without public.
We still have to wait many months before a whole stadium can be filled with public.
So the best is to start right away with sports events without public, because people enjoy the sports, and many money goes round in the sports world, so its good for the economict too that the shows goes on.

If they reopen in June, this will be a weird title for Liverpool. I'm not saying they don't deserve it, but they won't be able to celebrate it or at least they shouldn't (to honor the victims). Hopefully next season they can be at the same level.
I'm a Barcelona fan, but wish you the best!

I think the premier call will be back because it is the best tournament in the world and the one that gives the most income to all of Europe. and since Germany was the first to make it clear that England will return with the best championship ever!
There was no solution that wouldn't leave clubs feeling aggrieved. End the season in the current standings or using points per game and teams just below who felt they could have gone on a run will be annoyed.
Write the season off and Liverpool miss out on a first title in 30 years, Leicester miss out on their first CL campaign in 4 years and only their 2nd ever (I think), Sheffield United miss out on what I believe would be their first season in Europe etc. plus Leeds and West Brom miss out on promotion (which Leeds have been waiting 16 years for!)
So this was the only way but it's still not ideal. But it's better than the only 2 alternatives

Agree with Davey H, there's a lot of weird contractual maneuvering that has to happen if the EPL gets cancelled, and prolly a lot of lawsuits as well. For example, who gets relegated? The EFL has agreements in place that allow their top sides to get promoted. If the season gets cancelled, then those teams miss out on promotion, and therefore, EPL television deals then. Money that was rightfully due to them.
It's all very complicated but with all the potential ramifications on the line, ending the season looks like the easiest thing to do.
