Also to me reads like they may have changed their stance and vote for season to end from his vocabulary: "We're disappointed in this - but we will get a chance, we will get a play-off situation."Never thought I would say this but Joey Barton is actually talking some sense here - Joey Barton says what everyone is thinking about Coventry City
Well you could, because it is not true... Game was rearranged for March before the Blues game kicked off.Am I right in saying that, if a Villa player playing for Coventry, hadn't missed a sitter against Birmingham in the last minute, who were playing away at their own stadium in the FA Cup, then in all likelihood Peterborough would be in the playoffs as opposed to Wycombe?
You couldn't make it up
D Telegraph saying decision two weeks away - said for some time that the PL restart will drive play or not to play
Everyone would be blocked!Imagine the drama if Joy or Tim we’re on Twitter.
Despite what the EFL said yesterday especially the relegation issue I still think there’s a way to go yet. Reading the EFL statement the clubs in the promotion positions will go up 100% of that I’m certain happy days, , but their idea for the third promotion spot, fourth in league 2 to happen via play-offs i don’t think is certain. That then I believe brings in what happens with the Premiership. I still think there are big doubts they will or can play the season out which might then bring in the no relegation from the Prem and the division to be expanded but if they do that will it be to 22 or 23 clubs
Add Doncaster to the teams ending the season... Deffered player wages and need the furlough
There's an increasing accumulation of reasons why finishing the season is looking almost impossible.
I was banging the drum for finishing but I just can't see it happening now.
Would love to have seen us do it 'properly' but There's bigger things going on in the country and the world at the moment.
..but there is no "only Cov go up" option. Because Rotherham are barely ahead of the chasing pack it is either Cov & Roth & PPG or Complete the season. How many points we are ahead of the other matters for nothing, only the gap Rotherham are ahead of the challengers. And that is minute. So we are dragged in.It's also generally accepted listening to alot of chairman and managers that Coventry probably would have won promotion.. So it's not like we are spunking a promotion

Ah, got it wrongWell you could, because it is not true... Game was rearranged for March before the Blues game kicked off.
Is this another potential curve ball. From the Telegraph.
The Daily Mail reports that some clubs are privately discussing the prospect of a Championship breakaway, which could escalate if the third and fourth-tiers do not resume, although any formal split would require endorsement by the FA and the Premier League.
Hopefully we sneak in before any "break aways"
Can't see it happening mind
I think that's rightD Telegraph saying decision two weeks away - said for some time that the PL restart will drive play or not to play
Appreciate that, i just thought we were running out of things to be worried about so shared it!Especially the source of the "news" never believe a word that piece of shit rag prints
You nailed it. If there was an option for Cov to be promoted and a playoff between teams placed 2-7 most teams (except Rotherham and Sunderland of course) would have voted for it and we would be done with the season. We would easily get the 51% majority needed. That would be the only way to satisfy Pboro, Fleetwood, Oxford, Portsmouth etc.the vote is probably going to be very close, all hose o

My avatar must have given me away....They could be on here for all we know.

wonder Oxford & Pompey fans feel about it. Peterborough certainly have players & particularly the fixtures to go past them.So 100% play on so far seems to be
Oxford
Sunderland
Peterborough
Portsmouth
Tranmere
Gillingham, Fleetwood and Wycombe unclear
Might be quite close, closer than we think
Reckon when it gets to the secret ballot Oxford and Pompey might vote in favour of PPG. Suspect the Peterborough chap thinks the same as he's now calling for all votes to be made public.So 100% play on so far seems to be
Oxford
Sunderland
Peterborough
Portsmouth
Tranmere
Gillingham, Fleetwood and Wycombe unclear
Might be quite close, closer than we think
Jesus Christ. I think I’m going to go as far as to say that is the worst website I have ever been on.Never thought I would say this but Joey Barton is actually talking some sense here - Joey Barton says what everyone is thinking about Coventry City

This is the worry, even if we vote ppg it’s all down to what the championship do.....be weeks yet
They only have to agree to rule change (1st vote... this will mean that if agreed and this happens in future, PPG will be the "rule") The division itself can choose its own course if needed (2nd vote)This is the worry, even if we vote ppg it’s all down to what the championship do.....be weeks yet
Ours is still based on minutes on the pitch and points obtained, just less minutes than originally intended.This I don't get as League 2 was supposed to have wanted curtailment which would not have influenced the League 1 decision. So if League 1 and 2 curtail, why should the Championship playing on cause problems ? Just means their promotion and relegation positions were accurately calculated, based on minutes on pitch vs points obtained whereas ours were based on who has the longest straw.
