Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has highlighted how the suspension of professional football in England will impact lower league clubs and local businesses.
Wilder cited a recent interview with Gary Neville, the former Manchester United defender turned Salford City co-owner, which outlined the issues facing some League One and League Two sides.
“One thing I really admire about Gary is that he gets his hands dirty at every level. Now he's involved with Salford.
“He knows the game better than anybody, inside and out. I saw an article with him and the impact is not worth thinking about; sponsorship, buying a pie and a programme. It will have a huge impact, most certainly, in the lower leagues."
Acknowledging the situation could also cause problems for local businesses, Wilder added: “It will impact upon the pubs and people talk about Sheffield as a city, how much it's been boosted financially as a city, with having Premier League football. But other people will be able to answer that better than I can."
