ADO Den Haag coach Pardew confident Premier League will do all they can to finish season

ADO Den Haag coach Alan Pardew is confident the Premier League will explore every avenue to complete the season.

Pardew has just seen the Eredivisie abandoned due to coronavirus concerns.

"The TV rights situation is much more problematic in the Premier League," said former Crystal Palace manager Pardew to the Daily Mail.

"If you bring in the same model you will end up with huge court cases.

"There might yet be some in Holland because promotion is important and it's all relevant with the salaries.

"From the managers, chairmen and chief executives I've spoken to in the Premier League, it seems they are determined to finish the season, subject to that being allowed by the Government. Some think it will definitely be finished and that it's more important than starting next season, because the financial implications are probably too big to contemplate. They will go to the very last moment to try to retrieve it."
