It is, but I don't think that'll happen. Nor the 12th which I think is the current favourite. The lack of leadership in the UK (everywhere, government, unions, football, the lot) is breathtaking and heartbreaking at the same time. They'll probably cobble something together for the end of June, beginning of July to complete the season. If that's what happens. I think even if they try to start on the 12th the players will be in such bad shape that injuires will be far more likely.
For a lot of players in the Premier League, this will be the longest break from football they'll have had in their careers. If you need 4-6 weeks in pre-training to get ready for a season (even after a tournament year) then surely you need at least that after a total break? We'll see what they say tomorrow.
For the record, League Two has ended its season. I suspect League One will do the same because, to go back and play with no income will finish every club in that league. Much of the Championship will be worried about the same thing.
Quite enjoyed yesterday's football in Germany. First half of Dortmund but then turned over to watch Leipzig try and break down 11 men. Had a real moment of delight at the end too, as it appeared that Freiburg had nicked the win only for VAR to rule it out.
