While it would appear that many Man City fans would be delighted were the season to be cancelled, at present, it does not look very likely, despite the comments of Marino.
In a statement on the Premier League website, the organisation vowed to complete the campaign, stating that: “there is a combined objective for all remaining domestic league and cup matches to be played, enabling us to maintain the integrity of each competition. However, any return to play will only be with the full support of the Government and when medical guidance allows.”
As such, it seems likely that the Premier League season will indeed be completed, but when is a different matter.
