BBC Sport understands talks initiated by world governing body Fifa and including confederations, federations, clubs, players and leagues have reached agreement over a number of issues arising out of the Covid-19 pandemic.

All parties now accept that completing the 2019-20 season by 30 June, as initially hoped, will not happen.

So much for Thicky's assertion that this couldn't happen!
It throws up a few problems though. Firstly, it can only be advisory and could be legally challenged by unhappy parties.

Are players on the brink of a big contract going to risk themselves playing for their 'previous' club?

Are sponsors going to continue making payments to a club or start payments to a club. FIFA may control football, but they don't control employment and contract law.
