.... does this leave the door open for Bury to challenge they should be reinstated into L1 if they were in a position to operate at the start of the 2020/21 season

Think your thread should read “WHEN the season is declared null and void....
Given how this thing is allegedly going to escalate can’t see any way back for months.
But, sorry, can’t answer the implicit question. Not sure anyone can at the moment. It’s all just speculation.

Garners been saved by Coggers and the virus.
Perfect learning curve.
Hopefully hes learned fast and we can hit the ground running next season.
Whenever that’ll be.

Bury have already had their membership withdrawn. If (and that's a big if) the season is declared void, that's just affecting fixtures, they aren't going to reverse every decision the EFL board made during that time. There isn't any reason to.

You’ve really got to feel for Liverpool as they could taste it! I can’t imagine how they must feel - conflicted very much I assume.

I’d rather see Bolton relegated and Liverpool win the title than see Bolton stay up.
It would be an absolute farce if Bolton somehow stayed up and bought the league again the next season.
As mentioned though, Bury had their status withdrawn and this was voted unanimously upon from EFL clubs I believe. AFC Bury have now formed so I don’t think they could come back, even if the EFL wanted to

If the season is made void surly Boltons points deduction should take affect next season

Along with the likes of Southend who will also most likely now go into Admin?
The suggestion now is that CV won't peak until the summer, if that's the case then I can't personally see how this season can be completed without delaying next season's start, and end, for months. That would then cause issues with the new seasons starting for years to come.
If we do restart this season after June what happens to the likes of Craig who'll by then be out of contract, unless the FA just extend players contract until this season eventually ends?

We`re in totally uncharted waters. It`s all going to take a lot of sorting out. For every West Brom fan who sees promotion being denied them, there`s a Norwich fan who sees salvation from relegation. |

It does seem astonishing that when the world is the grip of probably the. Biggest global event since the Second World War we still worry about who gets given a cup or what league we play in next year. If this accelerates like it has the potential to, just kick all the the competitors into touch.
This could be a precursor to other huge world events such as climate change a few years down the road. We need to modify our behaviour in so many ways.
We can’t be dictated to by Satellite TV companies and the massive foreign owners of our football clubs. We need perspective and a will to pull together for each other.

You took the water out of efforts to boycott the EFL trophy. That format and the reason for the boycott was a direct result of weathy owners, satelite TV and massive inequalities in football. It was an attempt at collective action. You took the water in a pretty smug and condescending way. And now you're calling for us to pull together against wealthy owners, satellite TV and the massive inequalities in football. |

It's a right pickle to sort out.
It would be argued that Tranmere having won a few games on the bounce might avoid relegation.
It would certainly be unsporting to relegate them by declaring the current table the final places.
Unless, the season just gets extended .With next season starting late and more midweek games are squeezed in. There is no fair solution.
The whole season could be voided , where the current 1st place teams get "honoury " title medals. They do not count as official titles though.

You took the water in a pretty smug and condescending way. And now you're calling for us to pull together against wealthy owners, satellite TV and the massive inequalities in football. Blimey I didn’t realise I’d upset you so much, I’m sorry. My position on the EFL Trophy was that it was a competition, in its current guise, voted for by the small clubs. The hypocrisy in people complaining about the Trophy was that no one ever objects to SKY Tv broadcasting in the bars at the club. In fact how many who so say boycotted the competition sat at home watching big clubs on subscription TV. It was the decisive action of the Premier League and Subscription TV that has lead to the inequality in football finance yet I’ve never seen any “boycott” of it. I supported the club in their Trophy games as I believed my support of the club financially was more important than trying to bolt a stable door that the horse had left over 20 years ago. So by the same token I believe our reaction to this current threat should be relevant to our behaviour now. It could potentially make us review our way of life significantly. The point I was making was that I don’t really care too much whether Liverpool are given a cup at the end of the season or Bolton or even us end up in the Fourth Division we should behave in a responsible way. This could be a big lesson for the world for the problems we face in the coming decades. |

You've not upset me, you've just made it clear you're not interested in collective action against wealthy owners until you're interested in collective action against wealthy owners that you decide on. Hint, if you're only interested in your action, then it's not collective. So when you say a will to pull together for each other what you really mean is a will to pull together to do what you want, so that's not really pulling together. |

I can’t see it going any other way than null and void. People are going to be in lockdown for 4 months that’s the middle of July at the earliest, teams won’t be able to keep paying players without new season ticket money etc. Gotta feel for Liverpool Leeds, Coventry and Swindon tho. And my god how lucky have Bolton been
