Former Leeds United boss Neil Warnock says the club should not be denied the chance to seal promotion, no matter how long it takes.
Speaking to the Mail on Sunday’s Oliver Holt, the 71-year-old insisted that the season must be played out and that the Premier League clubs have a moral responsibility to save those lower down the pyramid.
Here is how some of the Elland Road faithful reacted to Warnock’s comments.

What do we think?
It appears these fans are in total agreement with their former boss. Warnock managed Leeds United between February 2012 and April 2013. During his 407 days in the hot seat, he took charge of 62 matches, winning 23, drawing 14 and losing 25 (via Transfermarkt.co.uk).
Warnock parted company with the Whites at a time they were well adrift of the play-offs, sitting just five points clear of the relegation zone (via BBC Sport). Leeds currently sit top of the Championship and were, at the time of the league’s suspension, closing in on promotion back to the Premier League for the first time since they were relegated at the end of the 2003/04 season.
