The coronavirus pandemic is creating a puzzle for French football and, for the moment, those in charge have no idea what the answer might be.
The idea of simply declaring the season over is gaining ground in some quarters but others remain strongly opposed to the suggestion.
The top-flight and second division have already been suspended for three weeks, with 10 rounds each to play, and many of the leading voices are no longer insisting it should finish "whatever the cost."
"I'm not going to hide behind a veil of secrecy and say, 'It's over, we can't do anything.' Let's wait before saying the season is dead."
- 'It's urgent to wait' -
=========================
"Let's take the time... We need to give ourselves a fortnight to see how things are going."
