catdog1121 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 So there is talk about no relegations but three teams promoted from each league so the Prem would run with 23 teams next season. The knock on effect will be that 6 teams will be relegated from each league to sort it out for the following season. This could be the perfect storm for Wednesday, if we get a points deduction with 6 teams being relegated it could make it even more of a challenge to stay up. I really hope this does not happen, the best hope is the Prem rejecting the idea of 23 teams as the top teams already complain they play too many games.

That's not what they're talking about... it would only be the prem with too many teams because there would still be 24 teams in the championship as 3 would go up from championship and league 1 and none would go down. So just the prem that has to relegate more than usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westy365owl Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 How would it effect the lower leagues as league 1 already has an odd number of teams with bury not being in the division anymorewho then replaces them in league two as the national leagues have been cut short it would be a nightmare One option I can see of doing it at moment is the teams in automatic promotion places at moment play the teams in the relegation zones from above in a winner takes all game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I dont think it will be 6 teams going down next season. Will probably be staggered over a few seasons to get the numbers back. Say 4 teams going down over 2-3 seasons. But yes if we get a points deduction we will really struggle to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hasthagotanycheese Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I would imagine that if that scenario came to pass then DC would be on the phone to his lawyers pronto. Carrying over punishments whilst at the same time trying to reconfigure the league structure would be monstrously unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You come back to the problem of deciding who gets promoted and relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 They’ve already suggested any punishment will apply to this season, and clubs like Boro have insisted that be the case, so bring it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just the prem that has to relegate more than usual Yes there would only be too many teams in the Prem but they will want to bring it straight back down to 20 teams so will relegate 6 teams. If the Championship does not also relegate 6 teams then the season after there would be an additional 3 teams in the league.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
