'A huge blow to Liverpool' - West Ham vice-chairman Brady calls for Premier League to be cancelled

West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady says that the Premier League season should be declared null and void because of coronavirus.

Matches in England’s top flight have been postponed until at least April 4, but there is doubt as to whether the campaign might ever be finished due to the pandemic, which the World Health Organisation (WHO) reported on Friday had infected over 132,500 people around the globe.

Brady, whose Hammers side sit just two places outside the relegation zone courtesy of goal difference, believes the whole season should be scrapped, despite Liverpool leading the way by 25 points and needing just six more to seal a first title in 30 years.
