Burnley chairman Garlick warns of heavy losses if season not concluded

Burnley chairman Mike Garlick says they face losing £50m if the Premier League isn't concluded.

The Clarets have released a statement showing the dire financial consequences the coronavirus pandemic could have on the club as well as other teams.

Garlick said: "It's a completely unprecedented situation that we and other Premier League Clubs face and which we could not have foreseen in anyway only just a few weeks ago.

"It's now not just about Burnley or any other individual club anymore, it's about the whole football ecosystem from the Premier League downwards and all the other businesses and communities that feed from that ecosystem.

"As a club, as fans, as staff members and as a town we are all in this together and I'm sure we can get through this by sticking together and helping each other in every way possible in these tough times.

"We all need to do our bit, however small, together as One Club."
