Up to 60 football clubs could go bust in the next year


"The problem is not whether we finish (the) season or not, it is what happens after that," Hodgkinson (pic) told the BBC."There are clubs I know of that are only still trading because they are deferring wages and (tax) and other creditors. They will need paying at some point."

LONDON: Up to 60 English lower league soccer clubs could go out of business if the sport fails to plan for the impact of COVID-19 beyond the current season, Huddersfield Town owner Phil Hodgkinson said on Sunday.

English professional soccer has been suspended since March.
