The failure to hold the meeting for a second day is not encouraging imho. Parry and the EFL want PPG. But they need the clubs to endorse it, as they don't have the authority to insist on it. They only need a simple majority, (although I have seen elsewhere that they need a 75% vote). The delay...

6 plus tranmere for starters

Sly dig in there at Ipswich, Posh et al. They did not like effectively being discounted.

Every club has its limit - almost without exception. Accrington's is to be mid table in league 1 as thereafter they can't sustain it financially. Charlton's is a bit like ours - a good Championship position. You can look at most clubs and see roughly where they should be, and in most cases they...

The weird thing is that last season he disrupted a settled midfield. he was good, but did not help make a good team. I remember against Oxford he was all over the place, too much so. The midfield lost shape and coherence. He did not fit into the shape we were playing, this was covered by the...

It is no more illogical than watching your team being thumped most weeks. In the last 10 years in the top flight we had one good season - by that we nearly got to halfway. I was glad we got relegated in the end, after 30+ years I was fed up of it. In 32 years we got into Europe via the League...

You are the numbers guy, check the numbers. Those with parachute payments have £40m those without average £4.5. We will have less. The rinse and repeat will probably be an endless struggle to stay in the Championship.....unless we find a sugar dadfy

No I don't want to see them play at the top level. It was 30 years plus of grimness last time. I quite enjoy winning most weeks as we do now. The last three seasons have been the best since 1967. Who enjoys going for 3-5 weeks without a win, being thumped at Anfield or Stamford Bridge, hanging...

I suspect it didn't go to a vote and I bet they absolutely don't want a 12-11 vote (which would be 51%). Every club now knows where all the others sit, so they now go away and think. And hopefully the losers realise they have lost and tow the line, even if they shout and moan about it. As a...

The EFL is not a dictatorship nor a bunch of amateurs. We have a genuine clash of interests here so not surprisingly feelings run deep. If I was a Posh fan I would be rooting for him. I doubt if the delay is what they wanted, but the EFL's main goal is a generally accepted consensus in the form...

I'd give my right arm not be in the Prem. Losing every week. Success = avoiding relegation. Tedious. I have been pleasantly surprised by the League 1 standard.

To summarize 3 options, one with a variant 1. Null and void - legal problems; what happens to the L2 promoted teams? 2. Play the games, expensive and bar a few, completely irrelevant 3. PPG (two types) best compromise, but annoys a sufficient number of clubs to make a majority vote...

The so called "Promised Land" is hell on earth

I am being told that BBC are reporting we are likely to be promoted, but I can't find the story

A central midfield of Kelly (struggling at the end of this season) and an other, is not a good thought. On other matters if the choices are void or ppg, then for most clubs, it makes no odds either way, and that includes Peterboro. They stay down regardless of which option is chosen. Void =...

Been thro this thread (and several similar before), and I thought The odds on the season being completed are getting longer - having been 50/50 at the start. must now be 10/90 Players possibly a big factor that could trump ££'s Stop whinging about ££'s. This a business not charity. It has been...

and relegated the following year probably

If the Prem starts, then there is a good chance everything starts I'd have thought. And that looks likely. A completed Prem with all others void makes little sense, although a completed Prem, and the rest by points / game might.

How about if any team is >6 points ahead of the play off places based on points / game (two wins ahead being the logic) , they go up automatically. Next 8 play 6 or 7 games depending on what is needed to get two more teams. So 4 games in R 1 2 in R 2 and final if needed. In the case of L1, Cov...
