Tranmere owner and former FA chief Mark Palios has praised the move to postpone the football season as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.
The Premier League and EFL postponed football until at least April 3 after Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was diagnosed with the virus.
That decision is due to be reviewed in the coming weeks, with doubts over whether the football season will even continue at all.
Palios told Football Focus that it was a 'logical' decision to postpone the football season after looking at what has happened over the past several days and believed that sporting integrity needed to be protected.
He said: 'I think the game took the right decision because what was happening as soon as you see players self-isolate or come down with the virus as we saw, then you start to eat into the sporting integrity of the competition.
'Because you will end up with teams who will have a build-up of games at the end of the season, teams playing weakened sides in very important matches, the impact on relegation and promotion and from a lower league perspective of course we don’t have the size of squads the Premier League have.
'As a consequence for us to lose three or four players out of our squad when we’re currently in the relegation zone, that would be disastrous.
'So I think once the sporting integrity starts to get damaged then you start to look at what you can do. What they did was give it a chance to finish the season because every true sports fan wants to see the competition finished and if we have to extend the decision and move the Euros then so be it.'
Concerns have been raised about whether lower league teams will be able to survive the effects of the Coronavirus with the lack of match-day income.
While Palios said he doesn't fear for his side, he admitted that it could be difficult for certain teams.
He said: 'We're (Tranmere) not too bad because of what we’ve been doing here as we have had money put aside for important projects like improving the pitch we need to fix, so we can survive the hit that we'll take by not finishing the season.
'But the football financial landscape in the lower divisions, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to realise there are clubs that can't pay players' wages at some stages.
'You've also got administration, you've seen what's happened with Bolton, then Bury disappearing at the start of the season. So the football financial landscape is difficult. '
