Sad that he had to ask to be honest given F1s example.

London mayor asks football clubs to help NHS
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has written to nine football clubs in England's capital city to ask for their assistance in the fight against coronavirus.

He has asked clubs in the top two divisions, including Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham, for access to team doctors, physios, paramedics and other clinically trained staff, as well as stadiums and accommodation.

Tottenham are not included as they are already helping City Hall.

surprised they haven't furloughed all these staff and made them available, i know spurs have furloughed 550 non-playing staff today, joining the players who were furloughed at the start of the season.

Seems pretty despicable that clubs are cutting no playing staffs pay, when the players are being paid such disgusting amounts.

Matt Hancock now saying the prem should take a pay cut, so the bad pr continues meanwhile no movement from the players.

shocking but is anyone surprised.

Makes sense that the facilities in sport that can be used should be used, all stadiums and high level training facilities will have treatment rooms that could be made available even if it’s to take referrals or non-urgent treatments away from the hospitals. It would also reduce the footfall around hospitals where the risk of infection will be higher.

Government should form a plan, get the system in place and then requisition what is needed to try and save as many lives as possible, across all sports and at all levels.
