Football must ensure it doesn’t descend into civil war at end of this crisis
Robbie Fowler - Our Anfield Legend Always Hits The Mark

Jurgen Klopp summed it up when he paraphrased Pope John Paul II’s famous quote about football being the most important of the least important things.

It’s a game that brings so many people so much joy.

And, while the world is currently engaged in a life-or-death fight, there will eventually come a time when we start to return to some kind of normality.

No one knows when that will be. But what I am sure of is that football cannot afford to wait for when it’s safe for fans to return to stadiums.

Mass gatherings will be the last thing the government allows once lockdown measures begin to be lifted.

So it’s increasingly likely games must be played behind closed doors.

Is that ideal? Of course not. It goes against all my natural instincts. But it is the lesser of all the evils.

Not least because I think watching football again will give millions of people something to look forward to in the months ahead.

Sports, hobbies and pastimes help us to stay sane. For many, they are a way of life.

We can’t visit our families or friends, go to the cinema, shopping centre, gym or the pub.
