Gary Neville does not support games being played behind closed doors.
Gary Neville has voiced his displeasure at the idea of the Premier League being played behind closed doors because of coronavirus.
The virus is ravaging the world and has caused games in Germany, Italy and France to be postponed or played behind closed doors.
With the number of individuals who have the virus increasing in England, there have been talks of the Premier League games also being played behind closed doors.
Just like in other countries, not everyone agrees to the idea of the games being played behind closed doors in England and Neville is one of the people who don’t buy the idea.
The former Manchester United full-back turned pundit was speaking on the possibility of Premier League games being played behind closed doors and he stood against the idea and argued for the league to be suspended instead.
I do NOT support matches played behind closed doors. If it’s necessary to shut down stadiums the associations must find a way of delaying the season and playing the games when it is safe to do so to protect the revenues for clubs that require this income to survive.

For league clubs that can’t afford this disruption , money is everything ! This keeps people safe and protects the Revenue the clubs need. Playing behind closed doors is not an option IMO
Some clubs would require short term loans that could be repaid when the games do get played https://t.co/cxQHFCLsIS— Gary Neville (@GNev2) March 10, 2020
The Premier League has already informed clubs to be prepared for changes that could come about because of the virus.
What do you Arsenal fans think, should the games be played in empty stadiums or the league suspended?
