An executive at a Premier League club believes that some sides are “ threatening to destroy football” by not backing Project Restart.
And that could be a huge threat to Leeds United's promotion hopes.
According to a new report on Monday morning, the Premier League are urging clubs to unite in support of Project Restart in bid to complete the season.
Since Friday’s meeting between shareholders it has emerged that some clubs - namely Brighton, West Ham, Watford, Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Norwich - are strongly against the idea of playing games at neutral venues.
Brighton chief executive Paul Barber has already publicly opposed the Premier League’s plan to complete the campaign using 10 neutral venues.
But another executive at a club told Sportsmail on Sunday that the objections raised by clubs near the bottom were a deliberate act of sabotage.
Another added: “They are threatening to destroy football just to avoid the risk of relegation,’ is how one executive put it.Their thinking is so short-sighted.”
As a result of the latest split among clubs, Sportsmail claim that chief executive Richard Masters is to call for unity, and urge clubs to put self-interest and squabbling aside heading into Friday’s vote.
The report also adds that the Premier League’s Project Restart is strongly supported by the FA and the EFL.
Leeds United will be keen to get back to playing as soon as possible in a bid to cement their position at the top of the Championship and earn promotion back to the Premier League.
Both the FA and the EFL are eager for matches to resume as soon as possible in the hope that it will enable their own competitions to follow.
Premier League rules mean that votes need a 14-6 majority to get a motion through, and the Mirror report that the vote, at this moment in time, is finely balanced heading into decision day on Friday.
