Simon Moore reveals what he believes is 'fairest' way to decide Sheffield United's final position in Premier League
Simon Moore, the Sheffield United goalkeeper, admits completing the current Premier League season is the fairest way forward for football during the coronavirus pandemic, despite acknowledging that 'time is of the essence'.
Moore and his Blades teammates have returned to training as part of the Premier League's Project Restart plan, although the goalkeeper admits: "We could be back in two weeks, or back in two months — we just don’t know."
Moore, speaking to County Press, added: "We’re the same as the general public. I look on BBC Sport for updates.
“I want the season to get finished. It’s the way forward and the only fair way to do it.
“Time is of the essence though, because the longer it goes on, the more difficult it’s going to be to start next season.
“At the moment, lockdown remains, so in the football world, it changes day by day, and our training programmes change all the time."
When football was suspended because of coronavirus in March, United were seventh in the Premier League table and just two points off a Champions League place, with a game in hand.
"I’d be really gutted if the season was scrapped," Moore added.
“I really do want this season to end in every league possible. It’s the only fair way to do it. There will be a lot of uproar and implications if it doesn’t finish.
“The lads have done fantastically well this season and it would be a huge disappointment if they don’t get their reward from that - but it has to be safe."
