(Reuters) - Hull City have said they are disappointed that a letter to fellow Championship clubs and the English Football League (EFL) calling for the season to be voided was leaked to the media.

The letter, published by the Daily Telegraph, quoted Hull vice-chairman Ehab Allam as saying the campaign stalled by the COVID-19 crisis cannot be completed without "unnecessarily exposing Championship clubs to potential legal action" if employees contract the virus.
