The manoeuvrings of the EPL are grotesque and abhorrent, all over a game.

Ireland have announced a 5 phase return. Wouldn’t be surprised if we saw similar here with a similar time scale.
David Conn in latest article
The mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, was criticised by the club itself for raising public health concerns about games restarting, but however in-depth the planning may be to avoid people massing outside the stadium or gathering instinctively to celebrate, he was sounding a genuine alarm about risks.
To be balanced against those lethal hazards are the benefits of trying so hard to stage matches again. As seven weeks have gone by since football suspended itself on 13 March, against the advice of Dowden and his government that it was fine to carry on into that weekend, the significance of promotion, relegation and Champions League qualification has been put into perspective by the pandemic’s elemental threat. Now the urge to play is articulated more as a grim job of having to get the season done to avoid difficult conversations with broadcasters, and be able to keep their money.
After Dowden spoke up in parliament, more than one senior football executive told the Guardian this week they felt uneasy, as if the government needs some good news, some entertainment for the masses, and that lies behind their desire to get the Premier League playing “as soon as possible”. Dowden said in parliament that this would “help release resources through the rest of the system”, but the EFL is understood to be baffled by that, as no more money will go down the football pyramid now if the Premier League starts playing again.
In France, where the number of people killed by Covid-19 is lower than in Britain, the government has banned team sports until September and, however much the odd club such as Lyon may grumble, Ligue 1 is cancelled, and the summer is cleared of yet another complication, to try to address the virus. If that were to happen here, however much football people are missing the game and would love current realities to be different, many people could usefully calm down.
The financial situation, of course difficult, will probably be just about manageable. If that did happen, the Premier League could concentrate on being true to the principle it has stressed throughout and did again on Friday: “The thoughts of all are with those directly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic,” and: “The Premier League’s priority is the health and safety of players, coaches, managers, club staff, supporters and the wider community.”

I dont get they will only use 10 grounds to limit pressures on the emergency services resources myself, if they use 10 they may as well use your own ground,infact as we know they should not even be even thinking of it
I imagine the ten grounds would be the ten smallest grounds.
If games must be played behind closed doors, better they are played at the likes of Bournemouth, Burnley and Brighton than in the cavernous waste that would be Old Trafford or The Emirates with no spectators.

Aye, I'd have loved to have been watching Friday night football on Sky tonight in an empty Turf Moor.
Crystal Palace against Watford.
Sounds like a thriller.

The PL have shown themselves up as massive shysters over this whole thing.
I hope its just airhead journo's making these "possible plans" up as they go along to generate clickbait but you never know when money is concerned.

Also if they approve of the Saudi Murderers buying a english football club on top of this greedy pursuit of TV revenue / appeasement of LFC then I hope alot of average fans get disillusioned and no longer bother.
