The National League looks set to close its season due to the coronavirus outbreak causing upset amongst managers.
The decision to cease the league comes after a call on Tuesday with league officials who called for the season to be void.
Some managers disagree with the idea of dismissing the 2019/20 season including Barrows Ian Evatt, however the majority welcome the decision.
In a statement issued to all Clubs in the National League, Chief executive Michael Tattersall said: “The broad consensus was that our clubs wish for a decision to be made to close the season as soon as possible.
“The FA have been asked to assist us with making the decisions to officially postpone all remaining National League fixtures and to end the season as soon as possible for the purposes of player contracts.
“The National League is also working with the FA to define all reasonable and practical options for the determination of the 2019-20 season, and to provide guidance to clubs on dealing with player contracts, player registrations and the application of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.”
If the decision was made to cancel the 19/20 National League season, it could have huge knock on effect for the EFL and Premier League.
EFL clubs could be forced to scrap their relegation battles while teams who are challenging for promotion would be made to play another season in their current league.
The Football League and Premier League have committed to playing out this season to get a fair result although it is not yet known when the football in England will be aloud to resume.
