Fans of Manchester City have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays reports regarding the resumption of the current Premier League season.
According to reports in the Daily Mail, Norwich City, Aston Villa and Bournemouth have been warned that relegation could be imposed on them if they continue to obstruct plans to resume the season next month at neutral venues.
In reaction to the reports, which were relayed by Man City Xtra on Twitter, fans of the club have flocked to have their say on the matter, with many suggesting that the actions of the Premier League sound like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

What do we think?
The Athletic posted an article on Tuesday which revealed that several club doctors had written to the Premier League as they had worries regarding the health and safety of their players should the Premier League season resume over the coming weeks.
As such, the recent reports of the Premier League advising relegation-threatened clubs to vote in favour of the Premier League’s resumption could then be interpreted as the league putting the restart of the Premier League above the safety of players, and it would appear that this is the message many of the City fans have taken from the recent reports.
