Newcastle United could head abroad under radical plan

The Premier League was suspended in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, and there are plans to play the remaining fixtures in the summer – if it is deemed safe to do so. However, Neville believes a more realistic plan would be to take the games abroad.

“If the Premier League are really serious about delivering the matches that remain in a safe environment, they would move it to the two or three spots that are within three or four hours of this country that are coronavirus-free,” Neville told Sky Sports

“They would take the Premier League players, broadcasters and media over, quarantine for a week or two, and then deliver it in an environment that has proven it can handle this virus. There are a couple of hotspots in Europe that haven’t got coronavirus.”

Newcastle United have nine games left to play.
