The losses for the Premier League and its' clubs could be £1.2billion if the season is cancelledThe Premier League would not comment on the potential losses they face, but the head of Germany's Bundesliga believes that no major European league is covered. Sports sponsorship analyst Dr Peter Rohlmann believes the total losses for the Premier League and the 20 clubs combined could reach £1.2billion if the season is abandoned. The losses would, however, fall to an estimated £170m if the Premier League season was able to be completed behind closed doors in 'ghost games'.
