???? - you know its a 44 game season right??

That's not why I favour it, but that is true I think. We could probably also choose not to play, and still go up, probably still as champions,which would have been earned by our performances over the season thus far. Personally in this scenario I would rather play the 3 or 4 games needed and win...

While we have this impasse on how to decide League 1 between all the vested interests it's struck me that there is a possible middle ground in all this, allowing every team that wants to stop playing to do so and those that want to play on to also do so. This basically works by allowing those...

Given that training hasn't resumed yet, these 6 shouldn't have had any contact with their fellow players since the season was halted in March.

I would still rather we opted to play on, and win the title on the field of play, instead of getting awarded it by committee, if that is in anyway possible. If we go up through PPG calculation then fine I will happily take that, but now null and void seems off the table, I don't want to see this...

I don't disagree with your sentiments, just trying to put your points into context of the situation as it is. Your first line sums it up really. No one should go into administration unless it is totally necessary. The idea that every club does so as a tactical ruse is something that is...

Given BCD games look necessary for the forseeable future, should the 2020/21 EFL season be cancelled too?

.....but then those teams will lose their place in the league!! They are the current rules in place. At the moment, whether you agree its fair or not football creditors have to be paid in full.

Not sure why Gillingham downwards would prefer PPG over N&V, but hopefully you're right. If there's any chance it looks like the N&V's might win though, we might be better off going with the Play On group.

No idea about the EFL rules but I hope that behind the scenes we are trying to influence other teams, as much as Peterborough are doing publically.

The football administration rules are that football creditors have to be paid in full, precisely to prevent the outcome you set out, and all payments have to be made in full before clubs can retake their place in the league. It's businesses outside the football bubble that generally lose out.

Not a chance that every club would agree to joint administration, and no club should go down that route unless its absolutely necessary. I think its morally abhorrent to use it as a deliberate tactic to avoid paying your debts, particularly with the negative knock on effect that can have on...

The trouble is the way it is looking BCD games will be here until maybe Christmas and beyond. It will frankly be ridiculous if everyone else has to return to work, but footballers don't because their clubs don't want to pay their wages. I don't see the Government allowing that to happen, and...

To be fair, Jones might have done better if he had stayed a 2nd year and had more time to settle in, but Atkinson had come in by then who never played him. Ironically the last game he played for us was also Phil Neal's last, when Jones scored in a 2-0 win at Palace. He has more caps for USA than...

Seems like Hiwula has sulked since he lost his place, which has helped MR decide to put him behind Biamou and Bakayoko, as well as Godden. Since he lost his place I don't think the team have missed him at all. We need to move on, and so does he. He will probably find another League 1 team that...

Apart from Hyam and Jones, Westbrooke is the only one I would offer another contract. There will plenty of better players available to replace the others. I'm glad that we got Hyam tied up early which is something we've often failed to do in the past.

I didn't see us losing another game either. I guess if we had wrapped up the title early there is a chance we might have taken our foot off the gas in any 'dead' games after, but if we carried on playing like we were no other team in this league could match us.

Of course you are right about Norwich's self interest. Everyone seems so confident on here that we will be named Champions and promoted if as looks likely from all the soundbites, that the season is cancelled. This confidence makes me slightly uncomfortable though, and a swift look through other...

I agree I don't think there is any chance they will use this system, but I understand it is based on the table after 22 games whereby every team has played the other once. It is difficult to work out in our League because of the Bury situation. Even taking everyone's points tally after 22 games...

It's in my mind that Ivanov got sent off in a reserve game but I'm not absolutely sure. Might explain why the manager (Neal?) might not have gone through with signing him.
