A lot of Leeds United fans have rushed to comment on a post from journalist Tom Carnduff, who relayed news originally from the Daily Mail which states that Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Norwich City have been warned that they could be relegated from the Premier League if they ‘continue to obstruct plans to resume the season next month at neutral venues’.
The Premier League wants to restart the season, but all remaining games will be played at neutral grounds under current reported plans.
However, a few clubs have opposed this and wanted the prospect of relegation removed.
Do you agree with the Premier League's threat to the bottom three?
Yes
No
Still, it now looks like the current bottom three have been threatened with automatic relegation via a clubs’ vote if they attempt to block the proposed restart.
This has got these Leeds fans talking, and they don’t seem to be feeling a lot of sympathy for the clubs in question with the Whites hoping to close in on promotion this year.

What do we think?
The idea of removing relegation has reportedly been dismissed, which means that Leeds’ hopes of promotion might not be impacted by the by some of the threatened Premier League teams.
It is clear from the replies that many Whites fans are pleased to see the Premier League looking to force through their plans.
