I agree Steve. If it's deemed fit and safe to return, they return. I said before but if we were really crowned champions without finishing the season... Wouldn't that just feel a bit crap?

Wouldn't that just feel a bit crap?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
Abandon the remaining games, not void the season.
As Boddy said this morning -
"We believe that the situation should be dealt with the same as other countries, France have produced final tables based on final points per game, Scotland have done something similar."
The position of the Premier League is starting to develop around a strong desire for relegations to still happenHave to hope they do the right thing re promotion relegation now I think. This below looks logical and fair, although I don't expect logical and fair decisions to be made.
Prem No relegation promote 2 Ch autos 22 teams next season
Champs no relegation promote 2 L1 autos 24 teams next season
L1 relegate 2 cut adrift promote 3 L2 autos 24 teams next season
L2 no relegation promote Barrow 22 teams next season
Back to 92 teams, Prem get more games next year to keep TV happy, additional relegations agreed to realign in coming years or may just stick with an expanded Prem if they like the taste of additional TV revenue.

Isn't it funny that everyone 'ITK' is like this... ^Nonce

Not only teams at the top ‘but there’s several other teams In there that maybe safe this SeasonThe position of the Premier League is starting to develop around a strong desire for relegations to still happen
The top clubs don't want extra clubs in the division next season but perhaps more importantly if there is no relegation this season almost all the games still to take place become almost meaningless
The TV companies quite rightly point out that glorified friendlies will have very little interest to most neutrals so audiences will be pitiful
The teams near the bottom will still push for no relegation but horse trading has probably been going on behind the scenes to overcome their complaints
. Couldn’t agree more. Schools back soon you’ll be in your elementNonce
Your Eton education is beyond me Sir, I concede to your wit and repartee.Isn't it funny that you've managed to find how to use the net and yet still are fucking boring
Of all the possible different outcomes to this mess ‘this would be the absolute worst to take.I would be furious if the Championship and PL carried on and sorted themselves but L1 & L2 was just voided.
Sounds mental for that to happen but I can just see us getting shafted. I have very little faith in the football authorities.
Not sure how accurate Transfermarkt is but take Blackpool Blackpool FC - Contracts expiring in 2020At this point in time I would certainly take promotion and the season being ended. Obviously that hasn't been my first choice outcome but if we were to restart the season and go on a 5 game losing streak I can't predict how insane my meltdown would be.
If teams don't want to play and it's only promotion to go for then end it now and award it on PPG.

I would like to see the top eschelons still use the pyramid system of promotion and relegation. This is what ties the sport together with the grassroots.
Having teams in a division not being relegated just seems so protectionist.

If they gave a nod that they'd get just the play-offs played and final positions would be based on Philosorapter's super computer predictions.
But SBT's self-professed genius, Skyblue Snowflake, said that he exclusively revealed that last week ?sorry to urinate on your chips but I said this in the first week of Feb which started the biggest thread in the history of SBT ... just saying like
Alright Hancock.If it is decided not to finish leagues one and two, I assume it’s as much to do with behind closed doors as anything else but next season is likely to be BCD as far as into 2021 so if they don’t do points per game ratio then when it is deemed safe to re-start then this current season re-starts, finishes and the new next season starts and that could be well into the Autumn or even after Xmas and as said earlier likely to be BCD this bollox about contracts ending in June so what, shits going to happen all over the country and in all industries footballs no different, just ask the 12000 British Airways workers or 8000 Rolls Royce potentially losing their jobs soon the same and that’s just the start what they think.
Can someone explain to me in the scenario of no relegation why there would be more teams in any league other than the premier league?So if there is no relegation from league one what happens to Bolton? Do they get away with it or should their penalty be carried over?
Surely it would only be the case if teams are promoted from the National League.Can someone explain to me in the scenario of no relegation why there would be more teams in any league other than the premier league?
If they promote 3 teams to the Premier league and don't relegate the PL will have 23 teams. If each subsequent league promotes but then does not relegate they will then each have 24.Can someone explain to me in the scenario of no relegation why there would be more teams in any league other than the premier league?
OrIf they promote 3 teams to the Premier league and don't relegate the PL will have 23 teams. If each subsequent league promotes but then does not relegate they will then each have 24.
IE Top 3 of championship promoted to PL
leaves 21 teams in Championship if no relegation from Championship.
So League 1 promotes 3 teams to replace them.
League one then has 20 teams left in it (no Bury remember) so League 2 promotes 4 teams to take that up to 24. Leaving League 2 with 20 teams (plus whatever the National league decides to do.
The following season the PL, Championship and League 1 all relegate 6 teams and promote 3 as usual to get the leagues back to their original number.
Can't see it happening myself. I think the Premier league need to give their clubs 2 options, Finish the season now on PPG or go with the Neutral venues option. There is no point in finishing the PL season without the threat of relegation.
Our season is done, Just as case of waiting to see whether we're going to get fucked over or not.
For me the PL has to finish to avoid paying back the TV money.... and possibly the Championship too.
Either way I think the various leagues will be drafting laws to cover this kind of thing in future. Can't believe there doesn't seem to be a 'The EFLs decision is final' rule or words to that effect.
As with the PL. the FA decides how seasons finishThe EFL is what is known as a competition as is any other league the ruling body is the FA so decisions the EFL come up with would be ratified by the FA and any appeals would go to the FA. We are in strange times but with regards to promotion and relegation I can’t see there will be different decisions for the championship to leagues one and two.
get hancock to present the philosorapter slides at the next 5pm briefing........
"next slide please....as you can see here, transport use is down, and Coventry should be awarded the League One title"
I'd love to hear that transposed onto a keyboard instrumentThat is funnier than can be imagined. I did prepare something. If in case of emergency break glass.
