‘Liverpool Own The Title’- Karen Brady Backtracks On Season Cancellation Claims

Brady, whose West Ham side are only outside the relegation places on goal difference, opined that the season to be declared ‘null and void’ if the virus continues to spread.

That effectively meant Liverpool, who are on the verge of winning their first league title in three decades would be denied the chance of doing so.

Brady faced widespread criticism for her comments and was accused of placing her club’s interests first.

The Premier League has been suspended until the end of April but the football authorities are determined to complete the season at the earliest convenient time; something Brady is now in favour of.

"It is a paradox that at a time football would be a great comfort to millions, it must not be played because, rightly, people's health is our priority," Brady wrote in The Sun.

"What is going on in our country and the world is unprecedented and the game is not a necessity – like food or healthcare.

"But to millions upon millions of us, football's disappearance from life is very relevant indeed. So, we all want it back in a hurry.

"There's the Premier League to be decided although, obviously, not the title – which is all but owned by Liverpool.

"But neither the Premier League nor the EFL have finished this season's games. Plus, there is the FA Cup, continental leagues, European competitions, European Championship and almost everything in between.

"The next Premier League meeting is on Friday and the main topic of conversation will be when games can restart. When we - all Premier League clubs - last spoke, we agreed to get going again as soon as possible. And that games will run into July, if req­uired, to get this campaign finished.

"This is the plan. This is what we want to deliver."
