Other than the greed of the EPL and football clubs there really is no reasonable explanation for the desperation to re-start the season.
I'm not bothered whether the season re-starts or not tbh. More important things to worry about.
The results could be totally skewed by having to play behind closed doors. Don't the EPL and the PL clubs not get it that it is a spectator sport? Without spectators it's just pretty pointless.
Cricket would probably be a far easier sport to get going again at a professional level because social distancing would be much easier to observe. But are we hearing the ECB and county teams demanding that the cricket season must start? Maybe there just isn't the same level of greed and self interest in cricket.
Football should re-start when it's safe for us to go and watch games again. If that means 20/21 season being a washout, then so must it be. Hopefully, more players, managers etc will have the guts to stand up like Deeney and refuse to participate until it's safe and not allow themselves to be bullied into playing before it is.
