No hypothetical decisions made yet by EFL after coronavirus postponement

The EFL have yet to decide what will happen should the football season be unable to restart as a result of coronavirus.

On Friday, the governing body postponed fixtures until at least April 3. That decision has raised several questions, including what to do if the season cannot restart, relegations and promotion connotations and the potential for cancelling the season all together.

In a statement released by the EFL on Monday, it admitted there will be no knee-jerk reactions made 'whilst the many unknowns remain' regarding coronavirus.

The statement read: "It is with that in the forefront of the League’s mind that it notes the intense speculation that has appeared across the local, national and international media over the weekend.

"Whilst the League and its Board understand there is a strong desire from both the media and general public to understand what may happen next, there have, at this current time, been no decisions taken.

"The League also feels it inappropriate to respond to the many hypothetical solutions being suggested whilst the many unknowns remain. Given the fast paced environment and parameters we are currently working within, it is simply not practical to give a running commentary on what may happen.

"In the immediate short term we will continue with our contingency planning to deal with the implications the outbreak of Covid-19 has presented the EFL and its Clubs, in addition to liaising with the Government, health authorities and football partners."
