MARTIN SAMUEL: There is no magic solution to football's coronavirus shutdown. So, for now, just do nothing

Coronavirus presents an unprecedented crisis for sport. It requires the sharpest of intellects, the clearest of minds, leaders with a vision, a plan, prepared to put the collective good of the nation, not just finance, or the game, before all else. So here is what the Premier League owners should do, when they finally meet on Thursday.

Nothing.

Perhaps a little administration and housekeeping. Set the date and format of the next meeting, for instance. Make decisions on funding for the lower leagues. What is considered to be top of the agenda, however, is yet more corona-madness.
