Peterborough United’s Darragh MacAnthony has taken to social media to explain how legal action would be his ‘next step’ if the current campaign is declared null and void.
The season has currently been suspended until April 4 due to the coronavirus outbreak, but this could yet be extended.

At the moment, however, there are no indications that the season will be prematurely ended – with both the EFL and clubs committed to completing the postponed fixtures, even if that means extending the season end into June or July.
But while several pundits are suggesting that the 2019/20 season could be declared void, MacAnthony believes that won’t be an option.
His Peterborough side are currently in the thick of the promotion race, and the club’s chairman insists he would not hesitate in taking legal action if their remaining fixtures were cancelled.

“Let’s focus on coming days/weeks ensuring we all responsibly look after our elders/those seriously affected & stay away from crowd environments etc & follow guidelines laid out.”
When asked if a lawsuit would be a success, MacAnthony replied: “Considering there would be a **** load of clubs joining me in it, I’d fancy our chances to reverse any such decision.”
