‘It’s actually happening; Closer to the PL’ – Some fans react to major 19/20 Ch’ship development
FIFA is set to announce that the 19/20 season will be extended indefinitely and Leeds United fans are absolutely delighted by the news.
The FIFA announcement, set to be made in the next 48 hours, means that it’s much less likely that the 19/20 Championship campaign will be scrapped.
In turn, that means that Leeds chances of getting promoted are set for a massive boost.
Leeds are currently top of the Championship and seven points clear of Fulham in third with nine games left to play.
The FIFA announcement goes further as well, with player contracts set to be extended if they run out on June 30.
That’s key for Leeds too, with players like Ben White and Jack Harrison on loan.
Leeds fans are understandably thrilled with the news – reported by the Athletic on Monday – with one saying he didn’t even mind if it happened behind closed doors.
He said, “Would it be a bit disappointing to get promoted behind closed doors? Of course. Would I care when we’re in the Champions League by 2023? Not. One. Bit.”
Here are the best reactions from Leed fans to the news that should hit officially by Wednesday this week…
