PARIS - Around Europe, football is waking up from the coronavirus shutdown, but things are different for players and supporters, and it is changing behind the scenes too.

The former Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur sporting director told AFP he foresees fees dropping by"between 30 and 50 per cent compared to the usual prices, and a reduction of 70-75 per cent in terms of activity". In particular, the loss to clubs from match-day revenue as a result of games being played behind closed doors will impact budgets.

"I would expect to be abroad every week at some point," says Glover, who previously worked at Everton."I might fly to Paris to watch PSG and then the next day to Germany to watch somebody else. My week would probably be three or four live games of football." In any case, how can a Premier League club plan for the summer window without knowing if they will still be a top-flight club next season, or if this season will restart, with all the financial consequences?
