Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal are among a host of Premier League clubs opposed to the idea of using neutral locations to complete the season, according to reports.
Neutral venues remain the subject of “ongoing dialogue,” Premier League chief executive Richard Masters said Monday, revealing that some clubs feel their local police force could do a better job of limiting the risk that supporters of the household meet because of the relationship between them.
Masters said The issue of reduction was first raised at a meeting of club officials on Monday, but it is understood that there were no discussions on the methods that could be applied, such as points per game, etc.
OPINION: In football, you only have a first impression …
Neutral venues continue to be a matter of debate among clubs, although Masters was interested in pointing out that none of the club meetings he has been involved with in the past 18 months could be described as “fragmented.”
The clubs have reportedly asked the league to return to the government and ask them to consider the season being played at home and away, and although Masters did not confirm this, he said the problem was still under discussion.
“It is not about convincing (the authorities to allow all Premier League stadiums to be used), because we need to listen to each other,” he said.
“I think some of our clubs would argue that, regarding the vigilance of their own fans, they have a good relationship with them, and that they encourage their own fans not to appear away from their premises while playing behind closed doors, and are in a better position to control that, but it’s not a convincing issue, this should be a decision that is made mutually. “
And now he Daily mail They claim that “at least two-thirds of the 20 clubs on Monday’s conference call, including Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal, voiced opposition to the plan to play the remaining 92 games in neutral locations.”
The report added: “While the past six have been clear from the start about their hostility to the neutral terrain plan, they were joined on Monday by several larger clubs in the Premier League table.”
