Are you people going to fucking listen now @premierleague?

How can we possibly continue with football in Britain when a top Premier League manager has now tested positive for Coronavirus & other players are in quarantine? This is madness. Our Prime Minister is dodging difficult decisions that other countries are taking & it’s shameful.

Anyone still giving it the big un about the advice given for this weekend on playing games?

Fucking idiots.
Hey @premierleague / @EFL you are making a right mess of this one!

Premier League didn't even know one if it's biggest constituent clubs now are in a situation where they have to self isolate for weeks potentially.

And some of you trust this shower to say you're ok to go as normal this weekend!

It needed a PL manager to contract the virus for them to act! Embarrassing leadership from the @premierleague

How can it not be? They would only be delaying the inevitable and quite likely exacerbating the situation. https://t.co/NQgyLNCaHq
