French club Amiens are considering legal action to fight their "unjust" relegation from Ligue 1 with 10 rounds of matches of the coronavirus-curtailed season left unplayed.
The axe fell on the 2019/2020 campaign on Thursday with Paris Saint-Germain anointed champions, and Amiens and Toulouse dropping down to Ligue 2.
The French football league blew the whistle on the ill-fated season following Tuesday's announcement by Prime Minister Edouard Philippe that "professional sports leagues, notably football, cannot restart" because of the pandemic.
Amiens president Bernard Joannin said: "My first feeling is one of injustice because Amiens aren't able to fight to the end on the pitch to remain in Ligue 1.
"Sporting equality hasn't been respected, I find the decision unfair and my job is to defend Amiens."
"In basketball or in rugby they haven't relegated teams."
"Now we have to prepare for a legal battle, we're looking to Amiens' directors to take up the fight."
