Martin Samuel is at it again Most of his column today is taken up by political ranting but he starts an attack on AFC Wimbledon's desire to end the L1 season 'All cynics start out as optimists......' Pot and kettle?

Doncaster have issued a statement saying results of ballot and final decision will be made w/c 8th June

He was quite impressive

Sorry should have made it clear this is talking about next season with socially distanced crowds

I've heard rumours of Premier League teams having to ballot their season ticket holders for places if (as likely) football allows crowds back with some kind of social distancing

The BBC are saying the Premier League will resume on 17th June with the 2 games that cover the 4 teams with a game in hand Clever tactics I guess they'll schedule the other games to try to avoid a similar situation if things have to be stopped again if the virus surges forcing another lockdown...

Martin Samuel was ghost writer for Harry Redknapp's autobiography He defends Redknapp at every turn despite knowing exactly what he did everywhere he's been including Samuel's own club West Ham A smug, fat cynic full of poison

Well put together and reasonable post - good to hear your view It's an impossible situation Most Sky Blues fans would prefer the season was played out, We're confident we'd stay where we are But these circumstances are almost impossible for the clubs in L1 with nothing to play for I'm glad it's...

There are quite a few open in London area - take away booze in disposable plastic glasses and sit outside somewhere Toilets and other facilities not open Mostly places off the main drag

I suspect MK will go for ppg too

Be interesting to see the outcome Dave I've been involved with running organisations in the past where the Articles have similar clauses as to which decisions require 75% approval and which need just a majority These demarcations are normally quite clear

I haven't actually looked at the Articles other than the excerpts in this thread I'd guess the EFL has legal advice that an ordinary resolution is sufficient

You’ve got some cheek to be posting this, whilst in the background your board of directors - in breach of their fiduciary duties - are trying to force through a retrospective rule change (which is prohibited under article 14.5 of the EFL articles of association in any event) which will forcibly...

That's it Dave

It's dependent on the first vote of the 71 clubs If that's passed then the EFL can plan the divisional votes Probably after a short period of lobbying so they have an idea of how things are likely to go in each division

How can it when it's not one or the options being put forward? Either we play on or it's decided on ppg Either way I think we'll finish top

My understanding is that the first vote is for all 71 teams to agree the two options - play on or ppg with promotion/relegation in both options as previously outlined Then individual divisional votes I guess they have to do this to satisfy the rules and regulations of the EFL This should then...

The R rate in Germany has dropped to .86 this week despite them relaxing the lockdown and football starting up An Oxford professor involved in the vaccine trial has said today that he fears the chance of the vaccine being a success has declined as the virus is 'disappearing' so there may not be...

I suspect the number one factor for most L1 L1 clubs is the furlough scheme If they vote to resume playing the squad will have to return to training and all players and coaching staff come of furlough If 30 players and staff come back this will result in the loss of £75,000 per month is...

All players and staff are furloughed so can't return to the training ground They can keep fit solo and they have routines If a decision is made for L1 to play on they will have to return and come off furlough Other than that I suspect they will stay on it until whenever pre season for next...
