What if STFC were in that position? Would you look to the club's owners to take robust action to protect the chance of promotion?

Yes. But not threaten other clubs, many of whom are just trying to stay afloat themselves.

However, the advice might be that you have to sue those clubs in order to obtain the remedy that is sought.

It would be classic Swindon to be named champions and still not get promoted

I would be a little concerned if I were a posh fan at the moment, MacAnthony is a gobby rent a quote but he has never appeared to be really stupid. a) he is going to turn them into a pariah club or b) they are in such financial shit that he is very desperate? Neither bode well.

Their business model is to pay good money - primarily for strikers, attacking midfielders - and hope to sell them on for a vastly higher price. Tbf, they have had a lot of success doing it. The problem now is that whatever assets they have - probably Ivan Toney - have had their value slashed by the virus. Nobody is going to pay top dollar - or anything much at all - with the virus hanging over everybody’s head.
They also have a policy of putting up for sale every single player that enters the last year of their contract. If they cant flog Toney in this window he will be OOC in a year’s time. They’re probably looking for £10-15m for him.
Big hit. I’d let those who want to have a crack of promotion play off against each other. Don’t see why he should drag down other clubs.

He's spunked good money trying to get Posh promoted. He's now being thwarted by the proposed PPG solution. He wants to do everything he can in the interests of Posh and his investment.
Right/Wrong? I'd certainly hope Power would do the same had our season become voided, or if we don't go up.
Do I think he will/should succeed? No, but the law is an arse.

He needs to remember that Peterborough United is nothing without the community of clubs that it plays against. Naked self-interest isn't going to look good after the dust has settled. People have long memories.
Carol Shanahan, Port Vale Chairwoman, has a bit of class about her. In the long run, her club will be fine and may even have won a few friends around the country. McAnthony should learn from her.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Think he just likes the sound of his own voice.
