Many Leeds fans have been discussing Phil Hay’s tweet in response to the reports that more Premier League clubs would be open to playing at neutral venues if the threat of relegation was removed (as per BBC Sport).

The Athletic’s Leeds United writer quoted a tweet relaying the news with the following caption: ‘Day by day it gets weirder and more desperate.’ Here is how a sample of the Elland Road faithful have responded to the post.

To kick things off what season is this from?

Should the Premier League step in and enforce their plans?

Yes

Yes

No

No

What do we think?

With Leeds being in pole position to secure a place in next year’s Premier League prior to its suspension, it is no surprise to see fans declare their feelings over these reports, which could impact upon their potential return to the top flight.

It’s clear that these Leeds United supporters were disappointed to hear some of the Premier League clubs have reportedly taken this stance. In our view, it seems as though those facing the threat of relegation are hoping to use the current health crisis to their advantage. We believe the whole point in trying to find a safe way to resume the competition is to maintain the integrity of the sport and ensure the final standings are decided fairly.

Therefore, if relegation is going to be taken off of the table, the risk of bringing football back too soon seems an unnecessary one.
