And it's t because of football situation, it's business side of things I believe y are concerned with. It's just going to be a matter of time. You've got to finish what's re. And that's t from a selfish point of view for Liverpool Football Club. I mean for all clubs, all players, all supporters, all ws that have been put in to watch teams. You can't just scrap season w.

If football has to go behind closed doors to finish campaign n so be it. Liverpool fans would t be delighted. But we'll accept it. As long as we get what's ours. Because it is ours. one can take it away from us this season."
