It would only be “fair” to award Liverpool the Premier League title if the season is not completed because of coronavirus, says Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan.
Gundogan acknowledged football authorities faced a difficult decision because of the impact that cancellation of the season would have at both ends of the Premier League table. For clubs who have had a very good season, it obviously wouldn’t be nice if it was cancelled now,” he said.
Premier League clubs are due to meet on 3 April, when it is almost certain the current postponement until the end of April will be extended again.
That will take it past the official end of the English Football League season and towards the last round of Premier League fixtures, which was supposed to be on 17 May.
Gundogan added that he would be prepared to take a pay cut if English clubs went down the route of Juventus and Borussia Dortmund in asking players to accept reduced wages so that other staff can be paid.
