Gary Neville and Simon Jordan disagree on Premier League verdict amid Queen Elizabeth II death

Gary Neville and Simon Jordan have disagreed on the Premier League's decision to postpone and reschedule all fixtures this weekend following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The Premier League issued a statement little over 24 hours before Fulham welcome Chelsea to Craven Cottage for the opening tie of game-week seven.

The former Manchester United defender believes that matches in both the Premier League and the English Football League should go ahead as planned. Neville said that, had the fixtures gone ahead, it would present to be perfect opportunity for clubs, players, staff and fans across the world to pay their respects.

But, the former Crystal Palace chairman and talkSPORT pundit thinks otherwise. Jordan has said that it was ‘absolutely the right decision’ to call off the fixtures.
