Rumours that Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy was among others who have been pushing the Premier League to void the entire season are false, football.london understands.

The Premier League announced on Friday that due to the coronavirus pandemic all matches would be postponed until after April 4.

Those games not played during the weeks ahead will be rescheduled for later in the season, with some claims that the campaign will have to be extended to incorporate them and fears that an April 4 return is very optimistic and even more than the campaign will not be able to be completed.

Mourinho says Liverpool couldn't handle Spurs level of injuries

Speculation has abounded on social media in the past 24 hours that Spurs surpremo Levy has been pushing for the season to be declared null and void and reset for next season.

That would be a move which would, on the face of things, appear to benefit the north London club who finished fourth last season but are currently struggling to qualify for the top four and Champions League qualification again.

football.london understands however that there is no truth in those rumours and Tottenham and Levy are keen to get the season finished at some point rather than annulled.

It is believed that ending the season prematurely would not financially benefit anyone as it would cost clubs hundreds of millions in lost broadcast revenues, gate receipts and associated stadium revenue such as food, beverages and merchandise.

Tottenham have five home games yet to play at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in their nine remaining Premier League matches.

On top of that, should there be a reset, the Premier League would be inundated with complicated legal issues, potentially dealing with those missing out on Champions League qualification, extra prize money and those Championship sides missing out on promotion.

If the season ended as is, there would be similar legal problems potentially from clubs that are relegated without having played all teams twice as with those missing out on European qualification.

For Tottenham, there is also the fact that the suspension already gives the club an unexpected advantage.

Jose Mourinho has been without key injured attacking players this season in Harry Kane and Son Heung-min and the delay to the season will now enable both players to play more than the two or three games originally thought.
