Lineker believes fairest thing to do is to complete season when it's safe

Gary Lineker believes 'the fairest thing' to do is to complete the Premier League season when it is deemed safe to do so.

“I think ideally we'd like to finish the season, I think that would make sense,” the Match of Day host told talkSPORT on Monday.

“But this whole situation is so fluid and much more important than anything, it's difficult to know when it's going to go away.

“We could be able to play again by June, it might have calmed down enough, whether that will be behind doors, which is not really what football's about, but it would help to finish the leagues.

“That's the thing everybody would want to happen, except perhaps some supporters who really don't like Liverpool.

“I think that would be the fairest thing.

“Legally it would be easier right across the board if they could finish the league, whether it's possible or not, I don't know. When do they start again, in June, July, August?

“The one thing I'll say at the moment is the players are having their rest now and it's not the rest they would want, it's not the holiday they would want, but once they get back and have a couple of weeks training to start the season again, they certainly wouldn't need another pre-season between the seasons.

“Conceivably, if they get playing early enough, they can go immediately into next season.

“It's not the scenario we would want, but whether it will happen or not, who knows.”
