Title: I'm hearing rumours...
Post by: @MacPhlea on Tuesday, May 12, 2020, 11:39:49
Town have been awarded the title... but can't verify this through any other source other than the contact (who I won't disclose for obvious reasons) and of course no formal announcement has been made on the league status....

I heard similar from someone who works at the club, nothing confirmed yet but a very strong rumour.

I think Wellens talked his way around similar on the phone in last night (reading around the lines on what he said) - sounds to me like they plan to announce on Thursday

Yeah be PPG as we have a game in hand.

If true of course

Indeed, and PPG is by far the fairest way to go if indeed the season is ended.

PPG with a special multiplier where the team name does not use any of the letters appearing in the word mackerel.

Well, sort of. If the PL junk their season and give in to the no relegation merchants, then unless they expand the PL to 22 clubs for one season (Leeds and WBA) there’s nowhere for clubs to go up or down below the PL.

The only saving grace is that if we are indeed placed 1st we would still go up even if it’s just to replace Bury.

God knows what state football will be by then though.

All joking aside you're right it's all a mess and needs clarifying asap so all clubs can move forward and hopefully prepare for next season if there is one

Does anybody really think that Posh chairman - who is spitting feathers at the prospect of ppg - will take legal action if they miss out?

What clubs could afford that sort of money when they have no income? Anyhoo, if a vote has been taken and the requisite majority obtained, any legal action would be destined to fail.

Can we have an open top bus tour over Zoom please? Just a laptop on the top of the bus with the trophy should do.

It would not surprise me if the media team already have something cool lined up.

I have no sources.  This forum is my only source.  This explains why I am wildly & wilfully ignorant.  But if it proves to be correct I will be very happy.

If there is a club source then it'll be whittled down to a couple of names at the moment...!


Title: Re: I'm hearing rumours...
Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Tuesday, May 12, 2020, 16:11:45
Well if the OP is the same person that works at the club then I'll say their source would be pretty decent.

Of course now you have everyone thinking of a fish that can be used instead of mackerel.

Yeah but every other club has to have a very funky smelling shellfish too. Swindon Town doesn't need a CLAM REEK to exist.  :soapy tit wank:
