No altruism: Watford chairman hits out at Premier League’s proposal to end season at neutral venues #IndiaNEWS
Watford have become the latest English top-flight club to hit out at proposals by the Premier League to end the season at neutral venues, with chairman Scott Duxbury worried about the impact of a “distorted nine-game mini-leagueâ€?.Clubs are due to meet on Monday to consider the Premier League’s controversial ‘Project Restart’ plan, which seeks to play the season to a finish following its suspension because of the coronavirus pandemic, with Watford joining fellow relegation candidates Brighton and Aston Villa in voicing their opposition.Duxbury, while accepting fans cannot attend because of Covid-19, is unhappy with a proposal that would see 17th-place Watford denied the “familiarity and advantageâ€? of playing at Vicarage Road.“There is no altruism in the Premier League,â€? Duxbury wrote in Saturday’s edition of The Times.“There are 20 different vested interests, which sometimes align but more often than not work purely to protect each individual club.“That is why some clubs are happy to sign up to ‘Project Restart’ because arguably there is only an upside in participating in this compromised format; it means (leaders) Liverpool can win the title, other clubs can book their place in Europe next season.â€
