A proposal to target a restart of competitive football towards the end of June is to be put to a meeting of SSE Airtricity League clubs on Friday. The schedule came out of discussions on Thursday between the National League Executive Committee (NLEC) and FAI in Dublin. To do anything else would be reckless,” the club said in a statement in relation to its own decision regarding staff, “and put the very future of Sligo Rovers under severe threat”. All of the First Division clubs had already informed the PFAI that they would be suspending payments to players until football resumes. You want the league to be going ahead but while it’s not, you just want to do something to help out for them.”
