Premier League clubs now 'want the season CANCELLED' even if it means Liverpool DON'T win the title with 'embarrassed' bosses fearing they look like 'petulant children' with the nation in turmoil

A growing number of Premier League clubs reportedly want to abandon the current season, despite last week agreeing to extend the campaign indefinitely.

All football in England has been suspended until April 30 due to the coronavirus outbreak which has brought the world of sport to a complete standstill.

Now senior figures in English club football believe there is 'no place for sport at the moment', according to The Athletic.

Liverpool are still just two wins away from their first Premier League title since 1990
But they could be denied their first league title in 30 years if the season is abandoned

'You look at the people sitting around the Premier League table by Skype; their egos cannot sustain a mirror being held up to them,' they said.
