Does this mean no relegation from championship?. I thought a consideration was to enlarge lower divisions and make a North / south split of 14. Who knows anymore! |

I think there’s so much at stake financially in the Championship they’re having to think really hard about it. Clubs at our level don’t necessarily have the finances to take the EFL to court over their decision whereas the championship is a different ball game. |

Worth noting that this is still a rumour based on a single source and they haven’t actually decided how exactly to end the season and award promotions or relegations yet. I can’t see the teams in the bottom four being happy about being relegated on a point per game basis, but then there will be losers in whatever the EFL decide.

The method being most touted Is clubs' home PPG and then multiply it by the amount of home games they would play in a season, then add it to the corresponding amount of away games. Someone on twitter figured it out and came to this conclusion. Attachments:

I could see clubs like Portsmouth and Sunderland taking this to court.

I think there’s so much at stake financially in the Championship they’re having to think really hard about it. Clubs at our level don’t necessarily have the finances to take the EFL to court over their decision whereas the championship is a different ball game. It’s been pretty obvious from the outset no more games would be played at league 1 & 2 level. I think this story has come about as a result of the the evidence given to the select committee and the behind webcam chats that took place afterwards. I would have thought the abandonment, null and void, as a result of an act of god was the safest bet in terms of avoiding legal action so it will be interesting to see how it unfolds. |

Seems a bit arbitrary to account for home and away ponts, but to ignore any weighting for having played better teams.

Might be wrong, probably am but don't think you can use the act of god thing anymore because there's so many of um now 🤔 |

How about this, Take the results from the first 22 games (half season) subtract results against Bolton because they only played their youth team until they met Rovers..
Top eight would be.
1. Wycombe 40
2. Oxford 38
Joint third. Bristol Rovers. Coventry. Fleetwood. 36
6. Ipswich 34
7. Peterboro 33
8. Rotherham 32
Third spot to be decided alphabetically.

I don’t understand why we can’t just finish the season, when it’s safe to do so.
With a World Cup coming up scheduled to happen during our season there is going to be some sort of Dam around to deal with for that pile of sh**.
Players out of contract blah blah blah.
So what, it’s the same for every club.
Get on with the game. Finish the season.

I read an article about playing the games behind closed doors, and most Div 1 and 2 clubs say that it will cost them money. Paying players, coaches, security, medical staff and so on. Personally I think we should void it

With a World Cup coming up scheduled to happen during our season there is going to be some sort of f**king around to deal with for that pile of sh**. Players out of contract blah blah blah. So what, it’s the same for every club. Get on with the game. Finish the season. I don't really get this out of contract stuff either. Why not just offer a monthly extension with the EFL introducing a law that stops an out of contract player signing and playing for another club until the season is over. Finish the season. Play all the games at say, three or four venues with staggered ko you could get say three or four games in one day at a single venue, thereby reducing costs. There may be short days between games, but hey ho the players have had plenty of rest haven't they? We all know that in football there are always teams that bomb towards the end, and there are teams that go on great runs. If there are no fans then so what. No fans have ever decided who goes up or down. The players on the pitch do that. If not I fear it could all end up in court. Scrap the play off's as well so the top three get promoted. As for money, FFS, Jadon Sancho is being touted as a signing for a few Premier League clubs at 100 million quid. They will sign players for 40, 50, or 80 million quid. Why can't the premier league, with all their money, give each club in div one and two one million quid? That is nothing for a premier league club but it could be life or death to the lower clubs. |

That won't work when most clubs are counting down the seconds to be able to get rid of any expense they can. I'm sure if clubs could rip up contracts they would do. They certainly won't be extending them. |

I'm of the opinion that we play a shorter, regionalised season next season to allow for this season to be finished when it will be feasible to do so. But either way the decision should have no discernable effect on our season. Frankly, this way is probably the best thing for us because with our relegation-worthy form and the improving form of both Tranmere and Southend there was a good chance we could potentially have slipped into that bottom three come the end of the season.
Whatever happens, I think going forward with a regional set up for the next few seasons is the best way to go. There isn't going to be as much income going around right now for all of us, so the added cost of going to the Carlisle's of the world (and likewise for fans like them to travel down here) is going to impact attendences significantly for a while.

Someone on twitter figured it out and came to this conclusion. That's an interesting take there Stoke. Thinking about promotions, I'm now wondering about gate receipts and other matchday income. I know this is something that's going to affect everyone but I thinking out loud whether promoted teams will be able to compete next season considering everything that's happened! |
