"National embarrassment": Leeds United chief sends warning message to Premier League and Championship

Leeds United chief executive Angus Kinnear has sent a warning message to the Premier League and Championship concerning the completion of the season. Both competitions have planned to restart the games in the coming weeks. Though some Premier League sides have returned to training in small groups, there is still no confirmed date on the games' restart. And Kinnear believes it would be a "national embarrassment" if England's top two competitions fail to complete the season. He wrote in his Yorkshire Post column: "England had some of the finest sports scientists and football administrators in the game and the time has come for us as a sport to stop repeatedly framing the challenges and start delivering on the solution. It would be a national embarrassment if the Bundesliga, La Liga or Serie A were to be able to complete safely and the first and fifth biggest leagues in the world were not able to follow suit if the context remained comparable. If Leeds United wanted to be opportunist we could have seized on this 'point per game' commitment to push for an early curtailment in concert with some already very vocal self-interests.  However, our intention has always been to do all we can to complete this season where we started it - on the pitch."
