Gary Williams says this to the ABC tribune, according to PerthNow:
– The timing for this is absolutely perfect. And the place is perfect.
He will have the 20 teams of players, coaches and support personnel in the coastal city of Perth (1.6 million inhabitants) during two weeks of isolation and training before matches begin (without an audience) in three city arenas.
It will be winter in Australia when the games can be played there. So Perth has temperatures of 8.6 to 19.4 degrees heat according to weather statistics.
Australia is registered with 94 coronary deaths during the pandemic. This according to worldometers.info.
– We have the sands, we have been and we have control of the virus at this time. We can also start games at 18, 20 and 22 here. I mean, the last one starts 15 British times, says Williams.
He has organized tours for English teams to Australia in the past. He has almost 15,000 kilometers on the airline from London to Perth (southwest Australia).
New meetings
According to the British media, the idea is not eliminated by the clubs in England.
– We travel on world tours as a pre-season period. This is no different, says an anonymous source.
– We have fresh air and good weather. That would be ideal, Senator Perth Glenn Sterle told The Sun newspaper.
He will have meetings with key figures on Monday to discuss the possibility of considering a Premier League stunt.
There are 92 matches remaining in the English elite series, but it is highly uncertain when matches can start again. PL football has not been played since the second week of March.
On Friday, the clubs will have a new video conference where they will have to decide on important questions. Until now, the Premier League management has not reacted to the play-offs to decide the season in Australia.
The Daily Mail newspaper reported Sunday that the FA Cup final in England is likely to be played on August 8.
