Also some mess with parachute payments used to buy club then written off.

Don't mind the footballing arguments but the financial ones are based on EFL and PFA doing something. EFL & PFA seem to have been short on definite financial ideas on how clubs can get through this month, let alone the next few

Needs a fixed framework. This pantomime gone on long enough.

MFE still seems lie an "if and buts" theory. Teams going to be counting pts lost through obvious refereeing errors next? Surely the system gets over-complicated as well as wouldn't the Championship have to vote on whether to add an extra team under one of the options?

yep. Tranmere stay up and clubs write a letter to PL asking for 5 million each as a one-off gift :)

think they're giving all themselves the space to argue they gave everyone every chance to have a say and it's not their fault time ran out. Tranmere , for example, claim they've put their final proposal together and sent to EFL on June 1st. They've had 10 weeks to think about it. Nobody but...

amateur hour. Probably 5 working days too. so pushing things back to 10th/11th. Give it up. Call time.

his feed just seems to be a stream of abuse from Tranmere fans.

technically puts them 2nd with automatic promotion so they're bound to love it. :)

sounds like a school ports day where everyone gets a medal. F1 dumbing itself down to make it more competitive. Supposed to be the elite of motorsport yet intent on dragging leading teams back to a lower level rather than making lower teams improve.

Every time we beat Liverpool in the 80s was a shock. Finally beating Villa was a shock (been going for 14 years before that finally happened) Seen a load of "bad" shocks but Sutton had to take the prize

First of many I fear. EFL clubs need to be using this time as a collective to plan for a sustainable future for all members - not waste time appeasing a handful of selfish clubs.

Think there's more than a few in for shock when they realize the Championship market is going to shrink. Already clubs trying to negotiate wage cuts for next season if it starts BCD. - not just gate money but corporate sponsorship etc will be missing. Plus can see this 15-20m salary cap being...

all relevant players technically under contract until June 30th?

Going to get to the end of the season and some sides that miss out on play-offs or get relegated going to be bleating "it wasn't fair as some games had weakened sides." etc. No incentive/point in mid-table clubs in any Division overworking their players now if they've already got one eye on...

so fatigue suggests the "preseason" wasn't long enough. Also it's a fact that periods of fixture congestion like Xmas see a spike in injuries and players are going to have to replicate that sort of workload. Jogging/running might be okay for the aerobic side but the muscular side will have...

getting silly. Get to 36 games, bottom 3 adrift and there's a spike - relegation cancelled?? All this hype about all the games on TV etc. Who wants to watch Bournemouth-Norwich or Brighton-Watford if there's nothing riding on it? All the talk of football solidarity in a time of crisis shown...

Just don't see out of contract players extending if training is as little as 2 weeks. 5 weeks training in Germany has led to a 250% increase in injuries. Players just can't afford the risk of being injured and out of contract when the new season starts. Championship clubs already claiming...

That makes more sense. So bringing them back in would restart the wage responsibility.

clubs normally return July 1st for preseason. I think the point for the financially struggling clubs is that they would have the opportunity to budget for next season if this season was curtailed (with the assumptions about BCD/reduced attendances etc. ).
