JAKARTA - The COVID-19 pandemic or the corona virus has yet to show signs of ending up abandoning almost all international leagues. To make matters worse, the Premier League operator faces a fine of £ 762 million (around Rp.15.3 trillion) if the 2019-2020 season competition is not continued.
The Premier League operator said in a teleconference that the fine would apply if broadcasting rights owners demanded their refund because of the remaining matches they could not broadcast due to the suspension of competitions amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The teleconference, which was held with the English footballers' union, the Professional Footballers Association (PFA), and the League Managers Association (LMA), among other things, explained why the Premier League proposed a discourse of reducing the salaries of players to 30 percent of the total nominal per year.
Earlier this week, Norwich became one of a number of Premier League clubs to reduce the salary of non-playing employees by 20 percent or up to the equivalent of £ 2,500 per month. This is a new rule implemented by the British government in response to the crisis caused by COVID-19.
Premier League clubs also agreed: - Financial sum to support the NHS, communities, families and vulnerable groups during the COVID-19 pandemic- Advance funds to support @EFL & National League sides- Player wage consultation More: https://t.co / Tv9Leq4GGp #WeAreOneTeam

The Premier League, PFA and LMA representatives will continue to discuss the scenario for the continuation of the 2019-2020 season, which must be decided with the agreement of the players and coaches.
The Premier League operator also said that if finally the 2019-2020 season can continue, it is almost certain that the match will be played behind closed doors without spectators.
Professional football in England has been suspended until at least 30 April, and the season can be completed later than 1 June if the need arises.
