QPR chief executive Lee Hoos has called for a 'complete and total reboot at every single level of football' amid the coronavirus crisis.
Football across the UK has been suspended indefinitely, with no clear indication of when the campaign can return, and the financial implications are hitting a number of clubs heavily.
Hoos has now called for more long-term planning to ensure the sustainability of clubs, with warnings having been issued suggesting that a number of EFL clubs could go bust.
"I think football needs a complete and total reboot at every single level in terms of sustainability, where we are with player salaries," he told talkSPORT.
"This is the tip of the iceberg. Where we are right now is terrible, we’re trying to find ways to fund the businesses going forward but right now we’re funding businesses out of future revenues, so at some point you jump off a cliff.
"In football it’s about ‘can’t see past the next game’ but we now have to think long-term.
“The crowds aren’t going to be there.
"The people who have been on 80 per cent pay for a long time aren’t going to have the cash to spend money on football and even if you can it looks like the season is going to start late which means you’re going to have more midweek games and they’re notorious for poor crowds.
"It’s about looking to the future, making sure things are square for the future but that’s a tough ask for football as everyone’s chasing that dream right in front of them."
Hoos' proposal to reboot every level of football in England would be terrible news for some clubs.
In the Premier League Liverpool are two wins away from sealing a first league title in 30 years and a reboot would deny them the ultimate prize.
While in the Championship Leeds United were are looking good to return to the top flight of English football for the first time since the 2003//04 season.
