CRISIS-HIT League Two clubs will hold a crunch summit tomorrow about ending the season now.
The 24 teams have organised an emergency video call — and the outcome could have huge repercussions all the way up to the Premier League.
If a large number of teams push for the season to end as things stand, a vote on the decision is likely to follow.
As SunSport revealed last week, worried League Two chiefs fear they will not have enough funds to go ahead with a restart following the coronavirus lockdown.
The cost of playing on in an extended campaign is too much for most, with extra wages to be paid and no revenue coming in because games will be played behind closed doors.
On top of that, the PFA want a blanket deal on contract extensions, which would mean clubs cannot pick and choose what players to keep for the extra games.
There are hundreds of League Two players out of contract on June 30 and extending the season — and their deals — would have a devastating effect on some outfits.
That will see more clubs pushing for the season to end now.

One club official told SunSport: “The numbers are growing. This was first brought up in calls to chairman Rick Parry after he came up with the emergency plan to finish the programme.
“Since then more and more have started talking about closing it down.”
If League Two club chiefs do vote to end the season now, there are concerns the Premier League could follow suit.
