"There is an element of people trying lớn keep up their morale here but, in reality, these ideas of playing behind closed doors in a few weeks' time are not going to happen. The timeframes we are looking at are several months until there is a chance of football coming back.

"This is moving so fast. We are getting lớn grips with and realising we are at the beginning of this, not anywhere near the end and things are going to get worse. Pretty soon football is going to have lớn stop giving these dates and accept that this is going lớn be a long hiatus."

"There has been a briefing or suggestion that they were going to try and get the Premier League up and running by June 1, so they could then finish it, have a short break and then go into a new season," Winter added. &Quot;That is simply not going to happen.

"A colleague I know at the NHS has said it is wishful thinking for football to even consider playing before the middle of October.
