Especially with the situation as it now. Pretty sure the ones we needed, to finish another 9 nine games, would except a 2-3 month extension on their current deal.

The thing with that is, what happens if they get a bad injury during that 2 months and that stops them from getting another club? I'm sure both the players and their agents will be thinking of that possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect that a lot of the wages conversations earlier in the year with potential new clubs have suddenly gone quiet and are very non-committal. The question is do the players want to risk getting injured for a few weeks work Apart from the very top players in this league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlsItGoing Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 What the league don't seem to think about is the crowds that will gather outside the stadiums of the clubs promoted. Remember when psg tired to play behind closed doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self isolation rules apply if you or a family member exhibits symptoms not if a colleague or anyone else that you may have had contact with has symptoms. Again, for us, if a colleague gets it we have to self isolate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On how much money? if someone wanted me to work on a short term contract I would ask for at least double money to cover me if I get injured so it could cost a fortune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least what you did this season will count for summat. Doesn't help us but i think best solution Over complicated. Finish it now. Points per game. Then set their minds to 20/21, because I think we all under-estimate how difficult it’s going to be for next season to start, and certainly won’t start early August.

Points per game does not take teams like us into consideration, teams that have crashed this year there is a case for a relegated team to say look at Wednesday, they could have gone down in place of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Crawshaw Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I think if the season can't be finished safely, which is unlikely, this season should be scrapped. Forget about it, no promotion or relegation, go again and start next season later in the year. The only clubs affected by this would be the ones currently in the automatic promotion places i.e. West Brom, Leeds, the 2 in League 1 and 3 in League 2. Yes it would be hard on them but they're not guaranteed promotion. If any of the other barmy ideas touted for settling the final positions if the season is voided such as average PPG, points after 23 games or as it is now are used it will be carnage. Half of the teams in each division will be upset and it will leave the EFL facing the prospect of a tsunami of legal action. The Peterborough chairman has had his say.

From what I gather Peterborough want to play on. They don't want to void the League. So it isn't only WBA, Leeds etc who would be miffed by that.

Which is all very valid, where is recent form reflected in PPG... which btw does us a massive favour as it isn't part of the calculations Duckworth Lewis type algorithm is needed to do this property to take into account playing the current bottom and top teams, form etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he's saying is if the league is voided now and promotion is decided on the positions as at now or an average of points per game, they will not accept that. Neither will any team who still think they might make the autos or a team currently outside the play off positions who have a chance of making them. There's also the teams in the relegation places. That's going to be half of the division miffed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherlyegg Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Decide it on penalties, 5 players with one reserve in each team. Only 7 people can travel per team. 6 players and the manager. Teams can complete 2 fixtures per day if practical. Not fair! True, but nothings fair at the mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyblack Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I think they will just keep dragging this on and on until there is no possible time to finish the season. Then they will have to declare it void but the decision will be taken out of their hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
