Whatever the outcome of all these machinations, there is going to be a huge amount of simmering anger and resentment bubbling under the surface for years to come due to the way certain clubs and their senior officials have presented themselves in these times.

Grimsby statement said they were against no relegation and that playing on would have cost £400,000 - testing and taking players off furlough.

Just why clubs in L1 can afford to do it I have no idea - especially Bristol Rovers.

Looking like Lg 1 clubs are coming round to accepting the inevitable.  Next meeting on Wednesday.

I have some sympathy if I understand correctly, ie that Posh would be in the Play Offs on weighted PPG but not on straight PPG.  There really is a hair's breadth in the merits of one form of PPG against another.

See Burton have jettisoned Clough and 2 assistants as part of a cost cutting exercise.

Hang on to your hats, guys.

Prepare for things to get messy when clubs don't get what they want

Hearts: Scottish Premiership relegation more costly than legal fight - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52710194

Sent from my moto g(6)

I was hoping Hearts may have been bigger than a legal fight, given they have been gash all season. Seemingly not!

I have some sympathy with MacAnthony in that he'd invested by now looks like having to write that off.

but what choice is there? voiding will be just the same financially. and it's say there's no change in hell of them finishing the games.

Its also not like hes the only one in that position either, time to shut the fuck up and accept it, whatever the outcome is. Everyone is in the same boat.

i thought I read somewhere that the EFL would cover the testing costs not the clubs?

I don't think the FA make money from the Prem or the Football League do they? Most of their income comes from the FA Cup, hiring out Wembley and England games/merch. They're not that well off compared to the Prem. Mind you, who is?

The first bit was lifted from the FA website, the below is old from Wiki

Turnover for the year ending 31 July 2016 was £370 million on which it made a profit after tax of £7 million.

Harry Redknapp has suggested he wants to buy a L1 or L2 club when this passes?
