"I understand people want to watch football, but we also must think about the fate of players who suffer," he continued.

The talks are scheduled to be performed again on Tuesday 23 Agutus 2011. AFE parties said that they had submitted new proposals to the LFP. But if the demands are not met, then the strike continues.
