Some Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the latest news coming out of the Netherlands.

As reported by BBC Sport, the 2019-20 Eredivisie season has been cancelled, with no team declared winners and no sides relegated.

There will be no promotion from the second tier of Dutch football either, meaning that the campaign is essentially null and void.

The Dutch football authorities made the decision after the government in the Netherlands banned all major events until September 1 due to the ongoing global health crisis.

Football in England is also suspended at the moment, and it is not clear when the campaign will get back underway.

Leeds are at the top of the Championship table at the moment and are aiming to achieve automatic promotion to the Premier League.

The West Yorkshire outfit have not featured in the top flight of English football since 2004, and if the Premier League and the EFL decide to follow the Dutch football authorities, then it will be a massive blow for them.

Some Leeds fans have given their take on the news, and below are some of the best comments on Twitter:
