Premier League Needs Consensus, Crystal Palace Chairman Advises Clubs

Chairman of Crystal Palace, Steve Parish, has advised Premier League clubs to come to an agreement on how to conclude the 2019/20 season without hostility.

There is no agreement between the 20 clubs on the plan to round off the season on, especially with Brighton, Aston Villa and Watford all vocal in their opposition to it.

The clubs wish to meet tomorrow, Monday, 11 May 2020, to put consensus in voting, and Parish wishes they can come into agreement.

“There are no easy answers, we have to work through it as a collective and I think we will and come out with a consensus in the end,” he said on The Andrew Marr Show.

“It may prove beyond us, we have huge challenges in order to get it back to complete the season but we are planning on doing so.”

“We are hoping it is successful. Clearly, we can see some of the early challenges, they may prove insurmountable.

“To be asked to finish a quarter of the season under new rules and conditions is an entirely different proposition.

“Surely all 20 clubs must agree the fairest way forward to complete the season? I hope we can now come together and find a solution to enable the season to end safely and fairly.”
