The English club Watford considers that the “Restart” project for the resumption of the English Premier League “is not fair” and “does not carry any aspects of sports integrity.”
Watford announced his official position on the project through an article written by club president Scott Duxbury in The Times newspaper, to be published by the club’s official website in the form of a statement of the club’s position, which joins the position of Brighton, which expressed the same concern.
Watford, 17th in the league and separated by a single goal from the relegation zone, said through his boss’s pen: “Football will return, the government has made that clear, and the challenge now is not the return of football but if the English Premier League can create a fair model before resuming.”
Duxbury added: “Before the start of the current season, no one expected the Watford victory over world and European champions Liverpool. Liverpool is a team that plays great football and deserves to win the league regardless of how it ended, but on February 29 we won against Liverpool, and to achieve this, we needed to play in ( Our stadium) Vicarage Road, in front of our fans. “
“Now, look at the sacrifices in the re-start project that aims to resume the season on June 8 and play the remaining 92 games in the championship behind closed doors. Of course I understand the absence of the fans, but officials told us that we cannot play on our court and thus lose a great advantage.”
“We have a medical device that works under conditions that no one has experienced before, and players whose lives have turned with the whole world, and now everyone expects Menem to perform without any problems, and with all the sacrifices the project requires us to end the competition with rules that did not start, which may end the journey A small club like us in the English Premier League. “
He asked, “Is this fair? Does he have any manifestations of sporting integrity, I don’t think so. The German League will come back May 16th and every team will play at home, they have found a way to implement what we were talking about in the English Premier League meetings.”
“Do the authorities lack confidence in the English Premier League clubs to secure their stadiums? No club can provide an environment 100% away from Coved 19, and so do the neutral stadiums.”
He revealed, “When we say that 6 clubs, and possibly more, are worried about that mini-league of 9 rounds, the league league should address that concern and discuss it. How can the long-term future of any club be determined under those circumstances.”
“I hope that we will reach a solution that will end the season safely and fairly,” he said.
