If it does happen at least they will have a different reason to moan about us, can't blame this on kicking off late.

To be fair, if it happens as he said, it's not possible to prove it was BS. Maybe we will see in the next few weeks if he really is in the know.

I know it's the Sun but an interesting read Prem 'blackmailing' clubs into playing with relegation threats, claims Neville

But wouldn't medical staff have PPE? admittedly anyone likely to come into direct contact with players would need testing but how many is that in reality? do the media come into contact with players? and aren't they a nice-to have? 22 players + 10 substitutes, 2 x Manager, 4 x officials, 10 x...

I can't see how the figure of 60,000 tests has come about. There are 106 games left to play in L1 not counting the playoffs which would be an extra 5 games. Even at 100 tests per game (which would probably be more than enough) it only comes to 11,100 tests. That would cover both sets of players...

In reality, it shouldn't go to a vote. If it is deemed safe and practical to start, it should go ahead as per the required rules. Any team that can't or doesn't want to field a team should forfeit the game(s) 1-0

Plus, it can't add up. It has us losing 2 and winning just 1 of the remaining 10 games, yet predicts 11 points. Not possible

The massive flaw in this has been highighted by their own article. A computer system that can't do basic maths. Their write-up has us losing at home to Oxford and losing away at Wimbledon. They then state that our sole win is against Burton. That leaves 7 games, and it's not possible to get 8...

11 points from 10 games, with 1 win (Burton) and 1 defeat (Wimbledon) leave 8 draws - from 10 games??? Idiots!!

Whoever wrote the program has assumed we have had a lot of lucky 1-0 wins and have not seen us play

That's complete rubbish. There is no basis at all for that kind of prediction.

But if the void this season and clubs have to play next season BCD until at least January won't that happen anyway?

So if the Premier League completes the season and the EFL don't, what will happen about relegation from the PL assuming the EFL were to void the season? League football only exists for the supporters, and I can see the logic in completing a season behind closed doors but I can't see the logic in...

Do you work for the Sun? PREM COULD KEEP MATCH VENUES SECRET https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11516847/coronavirus-uk-live-update/

If football is not going to be played until Jan 21 then all kinds of problems will follow. Euro 2020 to be played next summer, existing player contracts ending in June next year, the Premier league possibly having extra teams. This will take some sorting out.

Am I missing something or would it only be the Premier League with extra teams if there is no relegation?

We may have a better idea by the end of this week. The Premier League are meeting with the government on Friday, with the emphasis on getting the season finished. If they have definite plans outlined to complete, then I imagine the EFL will be in a position to decide what they are going to do...

You forgot about Wasps go bust and we get the Ricoh for nothing

I think people are looking at the testing issue as of today's situation, but testing will need to be ramped up massively before we can even consider relaxing lockdown rules. If that happens testing should not be an issue. I don't think there will be any chance of any events going ahead until...

Ok I respect your thoughts on this but that would mean deliberately not relegating 2 or 4 teams that have completed the season in relegation positions just so they don't have to apply some formula for L1 & L2, and that will undoubtedly lead to widespread anger and possibly court action. If the...
