Premier League threatened with legal action over relegation decision

The Premier League could be set for a legal battle if they decide to scrap relegation for this season, according to English Football League chief Rick Parry.

With the coronavirus halting professional football in England since mid-March, there are question marks over how seasons will be completed and how champions, European places, as well as promotion and relegation will be determined.

Several teams have shown a willingness to finish the season in neutral locations – but only if the possibility of relegation is removed.
