As the Premier League comes to a halt due to a Coronavirus outbreak, a new “crazy” idea has emerged in recent days and is starting to get a great response from officials and fans, which is to complete the tournament in Australia.

The former Manchester United superstar, famous soccer analyst Gary Neville, has indicated that the only way to complete the Premier League is, in his opinion, to organize the remaining matches on neutral ground “free of the Corona virus”.

After Neville’s comments, the British newspaper “Sun” announced that officials from the city of Perth, Western Australia, announced their willingness to organize the remaining games in the league.

“Sun” said that the English players’ agent, Gary Williams, is working on the design of an integrated plan before presenting it to the English Premier League, with the aim of completing the league in Perth, especially because it received the support of the governor from the city.

Australian Prime Minister Mark McGowan said there are many obstacles to completing the Premier League in Australia, but said he was “waiting for a phone call from the English” and was ready to talk about it.

“We are having difficulty crossing borders here in Australia, preventing non-Australians from arriving,” said McGowan. “I am eager to communicate with Premier League officials, but we have to realize that there are many obstacles to establishing the league in Australia.”

Australia is one of the countries that managed to eradicate the Corona virus, as the deaths did not exceed 100 cases, while Great Britain registered almost 30,000 deaths so far.

Australian plan

The Australian plan to complete the season includes several points, the most prominent of which is to celebrate the remaining 92 matches in a limited number of stadiums in Perth, safely and without public presence.

The city of Perth includes 3 main stadiums, namely the Perth Oval Stadium (capacity for 20,000 fans), Waka Stadium (capacity for 24,000) and the main Optus Stadium (65,000 spectators).

The plan also ensures that players stay in hotels near stadiums, reducing travel problems and reservations if the league is completed in England.

However, one problem is that the stadiums are not ideally suited for playing soccer, as the stadiums are designed for rugby or cricket.

The time difference is also significant, with Perth ahead of London in 7 hours, which can deprive league fans in England and Europe of watching games at the appropriate times.

The Australian proposal so far remains only an idea, but it may become a reality soon, especially with the high number of infected people in England, who have yet to show signs of containing the virus.

Perth, 15,000 km from London, may be the ideal solution for the most popular league in the world, due to its isolation from the world, its containment of the virus and its temperate climate.

The league is reported to have 9 rounds left, while Liverpool leads the table with a comfortable lead over the bullies.
