Gary Neville believes Premier League's coronavirus response has been 'terrible' The former defender listed five areas where the league has mishandled the crisis

                                                                                                     Gary Neville has taken aim at the Premier League and their handling of the coronavirus crisis, describing it as 'terrible'.

In a series of tweets on Sunday, the former England and Manchester United defender turned television pundit, listed five calamitous decisions the Premier League has made in recent weeks.

Premier League executives met with the PFA, LMA and EFL on Friday before issuing a lengthy statement that has since caused a storm of controversy.Following criticism of highly paid footballers retaining their salaries when non-playing staff at a number of top-flight clubs were handed wage cuts or were furloughed, the Premier League clubs promised to consult players over a 30 per cent wage reduction or a deferral.

The statement also announced the league was to award £125million to the EFL and the National League to help clubs down the pyramid ease financial difficulties.

The Premier League also pledged £20m to support the NHS as well as 'communities, families and vulnerable groups.'

But, as Neville points out in his tweet, subsequent events have proven almost all of this to be misjudged. We analyse each of Neville's five points in turn and what he means.
