My idea would be to cancel the whole season, just to give scousers something to whinge about and start next season with Leeds amd WBA in the PL. This makes for 2x22 top 2 divisions which could be rectified by 2 up 4 down at the end of the new season. Also promote Barrow on merit to the EFL (tough luck Harrogate). Premier league will never grow above 20 teams, hell most of the big boys want it reduced not increased. If the season is cancelled then that should be the same for everyone no winners no losers, you can't say we'll cancel that but still do this, void the season and start with the same teams in the same leagues next season, with no trophies or anything like that handed out. If the premier league want to install Liverpool as champions then it's going to have to be done using a ppg then this process should be exactly the same for deciding the European places, relegation and the same in efl, again you can't just decide certain parts by ppg it has to be the whole lot or none at all. The suggestion by Gary Neville about playing it in Australia for example is the dumbest shit I've heard, like the Australian government are going to say yes let's let over 2000 people from one of the worst impacted countries come here, not going to happen. No matter what happens some teams are going to be pissed off and it will all come back to one thing money. Sergio Aguero has come out saying that he is scared to come back playing at the moment, let's be honest football is not an essential service even more so without any fans. The other thing to consider is if they do start games up and a player breaks their leg are we going to be pulling the ambulance/medical staff away from dealing with covid-19, yes there will be medical staff treating non covid-19 cases at hospitals but they will also be short staffed and over worked, do we really need to potentially increase the burden on them. Imo the season should be null and void, no point with this behind closed doors games, as it's only one league who can afford to do it. Void it now so that all clubs no where they stand and can plan for the future, this delaying, delaying is not going to help teams in the long run, especially those further down the ladder.

But it's more important to ensure that the front line NHS staff have all the ppg they need. What?

Meanwhile, five subs to be allowed in the PL, but with specified times when they can be introduced apparently. Don't know how that will work, but can't help thinking it might have been a good thing for our management over the last few years, when they often seemed to forget they had actually named subs on the team sheet.

Interesting - but they have got their maths wrong. Wycombe have a game in hand and would overtake Oxford etc on points per game.

I'm confused. No mention of promotion from the NL in this article, but they say "this method would satisfy the full quota of 72 teams in the EFL after Bury’s demise last summer". How - without leaving the PL one team short? But if they are including a promotion from the NL, where does that leave us? Presumably, the NL be forced to follow the EFL's example and sort things out by PPG. That works OK (I think) for Barrow and Chorley, but the second relegation spot from the NL is going to cause some angst. And promotion from both the NN and the NS is far from clear-cut.

There's talk that League 2 still plan to relegate the team who finishes bottom, so the National league would just follow the lead of the EFL and promote the top 2. Harrogate already seem to be preparing for potentially getting promoted, they've just started building a new stand to get their ground up to EFL standard. Also their owner has said in the past they will rip up their pitch if they get promoted.....so Oliver's campaign for 3G in the football league could be well and truly dead in the water.

"relegation across all three divisions is ‘integral’ to maintaining the integrity of the EFL".
Shame they didn't feel like that in the early 1980s...
Sorry, I'm an old sod who bears grudges.

So, presumably the NL will follow their lead. Too busy at the mo to go through the tables - anyone else checked who goes up and down on PPG?

Too busy, he says posting 3 times in a few minutes... www.footballwebpages.co.uk/national-league it'll be as you were, the only move owing to PPG was (as per my post up the thread) Wycombe replacing Peterborough in the playoffs. So yes, Ebbsfleet will get relegated if the NL does what Leagues 1 and 2 have done. But at what level do relegations and promotions stop? Non-league step 2 to 3?

Four proper non league clubs relegated from the NL, should make that a tougher league next season. Wealdstone promoted, but can there really be a play off given most clubs have no players under contract?
