A lot of Leeds United fans have replied to a tweet from Twitter user @sophielevin11 who was talking about the Premier League’s bottom six clubs.
The Premier League intends to relaunch the season as soon as it is safe to do so, and one of the methods mooted has been playing the remaining matches at neutral venues. However, some teams have opposed this and have asked for the threat of relegation to be removed in exchange for completing the season at neutral grounds.
She compares those reported demands to when the Whites were accused of threatening the integrity of the game when they were found guilty of spying on Derby County.
This tweet drew a great reaction from many Leeds fans who agree with @sophielevin11’s post and are angry with the clubs in question.
Do you agree with this tweet?
Yes, it is spot on
No, I think she is wrong
Remember when the footballing world lost their collective mind claiming an intern with binoculars posed an existential threat to the "integrity of the British game" and now there are six Premier League teams refusing to play fixtures because they don't think they'll win them.

The Brighton chairman’s line of, I will accept the possibility of my players getting ill – providing there is no relegation was an all-time low of how too much money has ruined the Prem.

How desperate are they, could you imagine if we were 1 of the 6? We’d be getting so much abuse

What do we think?
This could ruin Leeds’ chances of promotion and would also make the league largely pointless with no stakes involved, so you can see why these reports have caused such a stir.
Hopefully, the teams in question come to their senses and agree to the Premier League’s conditions.
