'It's unravelling before our eyes': Gary Neville condemns Premier League for their handling of the coronavirus outbreak and suggests a 're-alignment' with the Football League may be the way forward

Gary Neville has slammed the Premier League's approach over their handling of the coronavirus pandemic, labelling the last few days as a 'PR disaster'.

On Friday, following a meeting with the PFA, LMA and EFL, the Premier League issued a lengthy statement saying that the current campaign has been suspended indefinitely and that they would be making a £20million donation to the NHS.

The Premier League also announced it would be pledging £125m to the EFL and National League but this would only be an advanced payment, rather than an increase, which many feel is needed to keep clubs in England's football pyramid afloat during the pandemic.
