Fans of West Ham United have been reacting to one of the latest reports on the Premier League resuming the season eventually.
According to the Daily Mail, the Premier League has warned the three sides in the relegation zone that they could have relegation imposed upon them if they continue to obstruct plans to resume the season (via @whufc_news), which West Ham fans reacted to.
The Premier League's bottom three 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.

@hammers_chat what a complete joke if this is true . See you in court springs to mind

Do you mind what happens with the Premier League season as long as West Ham stay up?Yes, it needs to be done rightNo, as long as we stay up |
According to the report, Bournemouth, Norwich City and Aston Villa have all been warned that their best chance of staying in England’s top flight is to vote to restart the season and win games to get out of trouble (per Daily Mail).
However, after the report was shared to West Ham supporters on social media (via @whufc_news), they continued airing their fury with the Premier League.
They be dragging the Premier League through court for months which would probably stop them starting next season.

As if they could do that. They haven’t got a clue what to do, neutral venues, allowing teams to re-register those players that were injured, banning celebrating goals, spitting etc what about tackling and marking at corners, they going to ban that next as well??

Rubbish. They wouldn’t want the cases going to court.

Threatening behaviour is an offence

What do we think?
As can be seen in the responses from these West Ham supporters, they are furious that the Premier League would supposedly relegate the bottom three clubs if they did not support Project Restart (per Daily Mail).
With the Hammers currently sat just outside of the relegation on goal difference (per BBC), it is commendable that Irons fans would take the side of the current bottom three as relegation would still be a threat for David Moyes’ side if the season resumed.
