He's definitely just trying to fight for his mate MacAnthony's cause there - whose anti-PPG/As Is. |

Anyone who comes out in favour of either ppg or complete void does so from a selfish standpoint. Us included.
Peterborough would fall out of the POs under ppg

But PSG don't play in the other leagues....  I would be happy with PPG now and get it finished. |

Listening to the 5Live Daily Football chat on how the PL might conclude the season last night (it was from a few days ago, listening on pod) and they went into loads of detail about what you'd need to do to even complete the season behind closed doors in terms of player safety etc. They were talking about whole teams being quarantined for 14 days in a sealed off hotel before any matches could be played, then having to stay in isolation as a team until all games had been played. Then each team and all their staff would need to be tested regularly, certainly before each game and if anyone tests positive the whole team is quarantined and cannot play for that period until they all have clean tests etc. It's a logistical nightmare. Most likely scenario it seems to me is that the PL try to complete the season behind closed doors and the whole thing falls apart in the first week after the first few positive tests. If nothing else because players will refuse to put their own health at risk.

My personal view is that for the financial futures of clubs the season really needs to be finished asap, effective leaving 2 options.
1. Finish the season using PPG (have to work out promotion and relegation)
2. Abandon the season.
The longer this goes on I can see 2 being implemented.

I would hate to think option 2 was even being considered at all but the longer it goes on the more I can see the season being abandoned. The outcome though will depend a lot on what the other leagues are doing, around europe and in the National League, whether thats PPG or as it stands we will have to wait and see. |

I don't see why anybody would think #2 would be more likely. PPG would surely be the least worst option of the two? By some margin.

Binning it off just rewards failing clubs.

Looks like the end game is in sight. God knows how many clubs can survive until 2021 with no income.
‘Now, after an EFL board meeting yesterday, club captains and PFA reps have been told to relay to their team-mates the very real possibility of no more football being played.
Sportsmail understands that players have been told in the last 24 hours that, despite plans to resume training in May, there is very little expectation at EFL level of any football being played in June.
In terms of supporters, they are not expected back in EFL stadiums until next January at the earliest.
One of the main problems facing the EFL is the high number of coronavirus tests for players that would be required in order to see the current season through to its conclusion safely. ’
