let's talk football now because the english premier league kicks off tomorrow with the first four fixtures with new restrictions on social gatherings as virus infections start to rise again. the league's finances have also taken a knock, to say the least. coronavirus losses to premier league clubs last season are estimated at over three quarters of a billion pounds, and that's set to continue this season. to some extent at least. joining me now is kieran maguire, football finance lecturer at the university of liverpool. very good to see you. we are all very excited to get the football under way again but no fans. i know richard masters, the ceo of the premier league, says that is absolutely essential. it's not going to happen in the short term, is it? what do you think could be done? i think in the very short term, clubs will be trying to persuade the government to relax some of the rules, to perhaps create some form of covid secure environment to which partial return to football could take place. we have seen a couple of experimental schemes. at brighton, they did play a match before 2500

english football at the minute. even before the pandemic, many efl and national league sides were struggling financially.ay, some of the sports most prominent figures have reached out to the government urging them to provide financial support. without it, they say, the very structure of football in this country will collapse. alex gurajani reports. it isa it is a site we will not be seeing anytime soon. 0ne it is a site we will not be seeing anytime soon. one of the worlds old est football anytime soon. one of the worlds oldest football leagues is at risk because of it. they match going fan keeps because of it. they match going fan kee ps clu bs because of it. they match going fan keeps clubs going up and down the country and wayfair returned to the delayed, the prominent list of supporters are calling for action from the government. in an open letter signed by two former at hmm to the culture secretary and sportsmen is there, the message is clear. in orderfor sportsmen is there, the message is clear. in order for clubs to sustain themselves or by the winter... these clubs survive on just about picking o

english football's biggest ever export. he won 13 titles, including four champions leagues. became sidelined and his spanish adventure turned sour. and that is why spurs have swooped of course. he will earn around £600,000 a week, we understand, with real madrid paying at least half of that so desperate they were to get him out of the bernabeu. that relationship had broken down, as i say. but it is fascinating. this remarkable deal comes at a time when clubs are desperate to get fans back inside stadium, and they are lobbying government hard to be able to do that because they are losing hundreds of millions of pounds potentially in matchday revenue. and, of course, it comes at a time when the lower leagues are desperate for help from the premier league to help them survive a unprecedented financial crisis. as exciting a player as he undoubtedly is, i think this deal will raise eyebrows, and it will be fascinating to see whether he can help jose mourinho's side get into the champions league this season. dan roan there. meanwhile, another major premier league signing was confi
