Burnley Warns Of Going Bankrupt If Season Is Not Completed
Burnley have revealed that the club could go bankrupt by August if the Premier League season does not restart.
The Coronavirus pandemic has thrown the season into uncertainty after it was revealed on Friday that the season will only resume when it is safe and appropriate to do so.
Most Premier League clubs have nine games still to play, with the Clarets occupying a respectable 10th position, 12 points clear of the relegation zone.
With Burnley unable to bring in revenue from matchday ticket sales, chairman Mike Garlick has warned the club could run out of money in four months.
“The fact of the matter is if we don’t finish the season and there isn’t a clear start to next season, we as a club will run out of money by August. That’s a fact,” Garlick told Sky Sports.
“I can’t speak for other clubs and I don’t know their financial positions and all I can speak on is our club and our financial position.
“That is why we are very, very determined that when it is of course safe to do so we really do want to finish this season.
“We voted unanimously to finish the season so it’s clear everyone wants to get the job done. It’s crystal clear that finishing the season is by far the best, if only real outcome for the Premier League clubs."
