Site Supporter Steejay Posted May 20, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted May 20, 2020 I don’t get this ‘promotions but no relegations’ stance. Obviously that would great for us but surely it’s not a rational, credible argument? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalcolmW Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 No-one is relegated until the play-offs are completed. Just need 3 clubs to fold before then to avoid relegation. One suggestion I have heard is that EFL will extend to include National League top tier to form Two North and South. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that scenario see us in the same league as Chorley? Fuck me Edit, that league 2 north could well include... Tranmere, Port Vale, Salford, Oldham, Morecambe, Macclesfield, Barrow, Harrogate, Halifax, Stockport, Hartlepool, Wrexham, Fylde and Chorley Absolute carnage putting us in with that lot Edited May 20, 2020 by birch-chorley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passmosster Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 There will be a few writs flying around if teams are relegated on PPG if it wasn't in the rules at the start of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc505 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Interesting wording of the rules of the leagues that I heard on a podcast yesterday, that I'm sure lawyers would make themselves a nice little earner over arguing. Premier League rulebook states the season is over once every team has played eachother twice. EFL rulebook says the season is over after the last game is played. I suppose EFL could turn round and say an "act of god" has meant that last game has now been played, do one. But its probably not worth the war it'd cause.

Which means we stay in League 1, not regionalised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) The PPG scenario is going to cause mayhem, the PPG with no relegation less so, null and void no one wants, except the bottom 3, I’m thinking it might end up like league 2 PPG for promotion with no relegation.

JimmyRiddle Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Palios makes a valid point about changing the rules in the middle of a season, its farcical! I've said it all along, null and void will happen because every other solution benefits someone at someone else's expense,and therefore will be challenged. Null and void doesn't, so that why it will happen as it's the best of a bad bunch. No one has been promoted or relagated as yet, so why are the league so scared of saying 'act of god' let's go again next season?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said the same yesterday You can see it get the announcement this week start league one again then we’re waiting again for a decision on the points yet more time dragging can’t prepare etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyRiddle Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 But who knows the financial situation at all the other clubs by the time it all starts back up. We probably in a good place given all dross we can let go in summer. So - 12 in Div 1 with decent squad any day, could still make play-offs! However the - 12 will not be carried over as doubt very much anything legally binding to say the deduction is contingent on season ending!!

We could argue we’ve been punished twice and it was out of our hands Im calling it now, promotions and no relegation with the league being bigger for one year only. If we get relegated because of shit results fair enough that’s bad management and we live with the financial consequences. But being relegated and having our finances slashed over something which is out of our control. Clubs will go bust because of that. Not happening I’m my opinion and they put the writing on the wall with L2. Yeah we’ve always been down but that’s irrelevant unless we’re gonna treat each club individually.

Promotions to pacify those at the top, the only fly in the ointment for the league maybe Peterborough or the like. They make kick off, but that likely to prevent anyone being promoted rather than impact us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
