Premier League's Big Six 'put up united front and reject calls to set June 30 cut-off date for the current season'... leaving them one club short of being able to block the rest of the league's push for a definitive closing date

The Premier League's so-called 'Big Six' have banded together and will reject calls to agree a cut-off date for the current season, according to reports.

As reported on Thursday, some clubs are expected to push for a June 30 cut-off point at a Premier League meeting on Friday, with the growing feeling that the season simply cannot run into July.

But the Big Six are not among those sceptics, with The Sun reporting that they have put up a united front and will signal their desire to play the remaining games out in full.
