Premier League could be cancelled if we're not prepared, says West Ham vice-chairman Brady

West Ham vice-president Karren Brady has warned that there is the prospect of the Premier League season not resuming beyond its current position.

The coronavirus pandemic, which has infected 177,000 people in Britain, killing more than 27,000 – the third highest death toll in the world – has meant that play in the league has been frozen since March.

While there remains optimism that a solution will be found that will allow the league to reach a conclusion, Brady, who controversially suggested previously that the entire season should be written off, has counselled that this is not guaranteed and that strict protocols will have to be followed.
