FA chief determined to finish season, not cancel it, as EFL board meet for urgent talks

The FA, EFL and Premier League are exploring 'lots of different scenarios' in an attempt to finish the current season ahead of today's emergency meeting, according to FA chief Mark Bullingham.

On Tuesday, all 24 Championship clubs unanimously agreed they were in favour of ending the season rather than voiding it and Bullingham confirmed 'nothing is off the table' as they look to get to grips with the coronavirus crisis.

Also on Tuesday, UEFA announced the postponement of Euro 2020, making room for domestic seasons to be completed in the summer should it be safe to do so.

"Everyone's priority is to finish this season," Bullingham told Sky Sports.

"That's one of the main reasons for delaying the Euros, to allow a window that, if the virus gets under control, there will be a window to potentially finish the season. At the moment, we don't know what's going to happen.

"We're planning every eventuality, so that we can react. The most important thing at the moment is people's health.

"We're covering every eventuality. At the moment we've got a number of contingency plans and we will continue to adapt as and when we get more information.

"Clearly there are different scenarios, if you try and finish the season before the end of June and after it.

"At this moment in time, there are so many variables, we're building up a contingency for every different eventuality. Some are more complicated than others but the number one priority at the moment is the health of the nation, and football will play its part in that."
