Looking at social media stuff today, there seem to be a few clubs wanting to play on and finish the season come what may. I can only conclude they have very deep pockets indeed.

Confirmed in parliament as loans for the rest of the season, with grants available for clubs "if their immediate future is at risk."
I guess that's that then...
Let's hope for PPG.
