Allow bigger squads and more subs to appease some of the clubs concerned about injuries. In terms of who goes up, I would do some sort of weighted PPG that takes into account quality of opposition remaining, home and away fixtures etc. Then the top 2 go up automatically, then an expanded play offs of 6 teams play behind closed doors at neutral venues to decide the last spot (5th v 8th, 6th v 7th, winners take on 3rd & 4th, then final) That way, your limiting the kick offs to a bare minimum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that leave just 22 in Div 2 or am is my maths wrong? Start with 24, lose 3 going up, none going down and gain Barrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger_Dubuis Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Daily Mail - EFL players have been told in the last 24 hours that, despite plans to resume training in May, there is very little expectation at EFL level of any football being played in June. In terms of supporters, they are not expected back in EFL stadiums until next January at the earliest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted April 30, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) Have the 22 team PL Knock the relgations on the head But - Just fuck the League cup off next year. Or better still, don't let Prem teams enter it. They don't give a fuck anyway and a European spot for a (probably) championship team would be some reward. It might also make them take the FA cup more seriously again. Edited April 30, 2020 by Spider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masi 51 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 already a precedent set. Blackpool was leading the old div 1 in 1939 when war broke out the season was abandoned nobody crowned champions.

Even optimistic predictions have it that we'll be lucky to have a vaccine by the end of the year, and none of us know how long from that point to it being widely available enough to allow mass gatherings (as well as Wigan matches).

JimmyRiddle Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Rhetorically; how do you justify promotions without relegation, I just dont get it, they are all part of a season and competition?. So if you are in those promotion/relegation positions now, do you go up or down regardless?. I don't agree with that personally but really can't see how you can have one without the other, for what reason?? Then spending the following seasons trying to get back to the right number of teams in each league, is just stupid. You have to have one with the other! However, I just can't see any other outcome than null and void for the season, because then, every team has been 'treated' the same, albeit clearly with winners and losers. Any other alternative, whatever is decided; table as it is, PPG, whatever; there will be legal challenges from those impacted and still in conetention for promotion or staying up who have ben detrimentally impacted. Then the authorities will have to justify legally why they favoured some teams, through their decision making process, in front of other clubs; beacuse so far no one has already been promoted, relegated or won the Premiership!!! So fo rthis reason I am certain they will throw a bag over it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I wouldn't take the first year of the embargo again, as it has been served In that case can we ask all players to repay their salaries as the season hasn’t happened? We’ve served our punishment. It’s not our decision to cancel the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyrotten Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 4 hours ago, Mr Grey said: add Watford, Palace, Norwich.... I'll agree on Watford (another Burnley) but Palace are decent sized and Norwich definitely are. In 3rd tier they were getting bigger home crowds than we were getting in Prem. Obviously they'd be getting 30k plus if they had a bigger ground. Although it does help not to have another club within 50 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could just ask anyone not directly involved in football if they can play, because they've known the answer for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
