The Championship’s top six clubs are reportedly ready to launch a legal challenge against the Premier League if three teams are not promoted to the top flight amid the coronavirus pandemic.
English football faces an uncertain future in the short term, with all games having been called off until April 3 at the earliest due to the outbreak of the deadly virus.
The Premier League is currently scheduled to resume on April 4, but It is not yet known whether that will be possible as the UK prepares to deal with an expected escalation in the number of coronavirus cases.
There have been calls for this campaign to be declared null and void, amid fears it will be impossible to play all remaining games before next season is due to start.
But that would cause huge problems in terms of determining which teams would win titles and who would qualify for European competition, and which teams would be promoted or relegated between the various divisions.
