Precisely - bung in Russian billionaires as well. That amount of money, it is almost impossible to be squeaky clean. I am rather fed up with the cheap moralizing this country has descended to. Whatever happened to the pragmatic English, Perfidious Albion. Take the money.

Oh give it a break don't be a hypocrite Were we in their shoes, you would be saying exactly the same as the Tranmere fans. Clubs should be all out for themselves, that is their job. The EFL act as arbiters to ensure fair play, but clubs must fight for their own self interest. This is not a...

Good to see a statement of hard reality. Most L 1 clubs have the same dilemma, regardless of where you are in the league

This is IPSWICH’S PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE EFL PROPOSAL - Should the relegated, League One season not be completed, clubs should be consulted about alternative play-off formats. - Any alternative play-off format would require the support of six clubs to be put before the entire division for...

Their absolutely correct desire not to go to court is why people should cut the EFL some slack

The most interesting thing, in a nerdy kind of way, is that the Tranmere proposal is a one off for this year only. Not a change to the constitution. That might appeal to some. Also what happens if someone moves an amendment, if that is allowed and says for instance that the measure should be two...

This is a guess I would assume first up they vote to accept or reject the EFL proposal as it represents a change in the rules and is the EFL recommendation. It has priority. If it passes, game over If it fails I assume they move onto the Tranmere proposal if it has sufficient support to...

IF Durham is against it, it must be right

I am warming to Dale. Bringing a cool business head to matters. Something so complex as TR's plan would be big pay days for the lawyers. But it sounds like they have been taking some soundings and have some support.

My favourite goal of the season. Great long pass into a tricky area from Westbrooke, tremendous awareness by Shipley, then a 1st time strike from Matty G

What has it got to do with Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs? Idle curiosity

My problem with it is that it would be an absolute lottery with about as much connection to the season so far as ppg. In fact ppg would have a closer connection. Previous form would be out of the window. Clubs with nothing to play for would be just trying to avoid injury. Players who are out of...

Repeating myself but 1. Given the concerns about legal challenge Tranmere's scheme, the motivation behind which is pretty obvious, fails because it is both complex and has assumptions (3 years). But... 2. The EFL want a system that is absolutely straight forward, to avoid any doubt and hence...

I believe that no decision means the season gets finished. It needs a rule change to get null and void

That he has stayed given our circumstances tells me he is on quite a good wedge for a L1 manager

Sounds like Tranmere are conceding the principle of PPG, so are trying to find a variant that keeps them in the League. Regardless of whether it is bonkers or not, this could be good news

In the league of bollox suggestions, that has to be the most bolloxy

I thought that for a while, but it requires a vote and it is not an option that is being voted on. The default, "what happens if nothing is decided" option is to play on. If the vote fails, that is what we do. If some clubs really hate playing on they have to persuade the EFL to do another...

I am puzzled how the clubs with absolutely nothing to play for will behave were the season be played out. Like say Shrewsbury - who we would play first up I believe. How motivated? What strength side? Will they give a f**k? Or even be resentful at having to play 9 games they don't want. You...
