Tyrone Mings makes strong claims as clubs follow all protocols of Project Restart to get back to Premier League action on June 17.
It has been well-documented and made known to all, there have been those in favour and those opposed to Project Restart. Since the talks and planning started it was reported the bottom six were the clubs very much against anything that involved endangering the players.
That includes rushing back into football. It was decided many moons ago it seems, no fans will be allowed while the remaining 92 games take place behind closed doors. No opposition to this, as playing football is key here.
Added to the heated debate between clubs and the ones who make the decisions, the issues of home and away, or neutral venues popped up. It went on for a few days but soon a resolution was found.
The deal has improved, with this and that location safe but for various reasons, prevention is better than cure, as we’ve come to know in these difficult times. Therefore agreeing if the dates are brought forward, they must compromise on natural venues.

"The motives are possibly 100 per cent financially driven rather than integrity driven. I am all for playing again because we have no other choice.As players, we were the last people to be consulted about Project Restart and that is because of where we fall in football’s order of priority.That isn’t a problem. We are commodities in the game and we accept that. But that’s fine with me because I look at this monster that is Premier League football and the revenue it creates and I didn’t moan about being a part of it when everything was great so I’m not going to moan now when the atmosphere around the game is more hesitant.

What isn’t money-driven?
Even though Ming raises a solid argument and should be listened to for various reasons, he needs to check out how everything else works in life. Most, if not all things are driven by money. Many of us don’t get involved unless there’s money or a reward for their efforts.
While he complains the rest of the league chips on with business. They dealing with all the drama on and off the pitch in the right manner. Get on with your job that’s all that must be done. Mings is not alone, with many other Premier League players in fear of a restart.
Kante, Sterling, Rose, and Deneey have all expressed their discomfit about Project Restart. Thankfully, Kante’s return to training is a great step forward in a trialling phase.
