Gary Neville throws doubt over ‘Project Restart’ ahead of today’s crunch Premier League meeting after Boris Johnson made no mention of top-level sport in his address to the country
- The Premier League had been aiming to retyurn on June 12
- There has been no games since the beginning of March due to the lockdown
- Boris Johnson briefed the nation last night but didn’t mention sport
Gary Neville expects a further delay to the Premier League returning after last night’s government briefing made no mention of top-level sport.
June 12 had been pencilled in by Premier League chiefs who meet today as they try to get the season back up and running but Prime Minister Boris Johnson‘s address to the nation did not make that prospect any clearer.
Neville tweeted first thing this morning: ‘I’d be surprised if we didn’t see the PL in this meet today bump the “Project Restart” plan down the road again.

‘They’ve been hanging their hat on government guidance. There isn’t anything in that speech last night that will comfort the Players/Dr’s at clubs.’
He followed that with ‘June 12’ and a red ‘X’ next to it.
The prime minsiter did talk up the prospect of a phased return for schools by early June and of people being able to exercise and play sport with members of their own household this week.
