A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to a tweet from Phil Hay with an update on the potential impact of coronavirus on the rest of the Championship season.

What do you think will happen to the rest of the season?

Hay was asked by one fan what the protocol is if all games are cancelled, and The Athletic reporter said that one option would be to declare the league positions as they are, but that would come with complications and complaints.

This has drawn a reaction from these Leeds fans who feel that the EFL would not do that.

Other Whites supporters, though, would be very happy to see the EFL make that decision.

What do we think?

Hay said that this is uncharted territory, and we find it hard to disagree with him.

The uncertainty over the impact of the virus is hard to describe – though Hay believes that before they even consider postponing or suspending the league games will be played behind closed doors.

In our opinion, this could be getting closer after the announcement that the match between Manchester City and Arsenal was postponed due to fears over the Arsenal squad coming in to contact with Olympiacos’ owner Evangelos Marinakis – who has tested positive for coronavirus.

Leeds fans will hope that the EFL do not cancel the season, or all their hard work could be undone.
