If the rebel 6 are so desperate to play on despite many not wanting to, just ask McAnthony and his mates to foot the bill for all the C-19 testing that is needed as that seems to be the sticking point for many of the less well off clubs.
I think thats fair.

A concern of mine, had it been possible to play the remainder of the fixtures, would have been that many may have been uncompetitive.  In particular that clubs with nothing to play for and/or otherwise financially fucked may have ended up playing kids, perhaps en masse well before the final 2 or 3 games.  And thereby turned many games into a lottery or farce (a little like some of Bolton's when they were forced to play kids).

This could also apply to League 1.

Imperfect, but better to apply PPG based on the 80% of properly competitive games already played.  IMO.

Incredibly disappointing that it looks like the fans, the players and management will be unable to celebrate their achievement properly at the CG.

It's not just that, it's also the cost of bringing playing and coaching staff out of furlough and having to pay them in full for 6-8 weeks which could break many clubs. Your general point still stands though - if Peterboro and Sunderland are so insistent that the league must be played out, even to the point that it may bankrupt several of their fellow clubs, at the very least it's incumbent upon them to explain how that should be paid for.

I think its pretty obvious the top 2 divisons will finish behind closed doors now, surely L1 must agree that its time to finish and play just the play offs, surely?

This is a great danger to STFC and Div 3/4 clubs.  If the top 2 divs do manage to complete under BCD, and 3 join 4 in writing it off, then the creation of Prem 2 and binning off the rest will be well under way.

 The best chance then for some solidarity will be a second wave causing another shut down.  Quite likely according to some scientists.  This is because even with the current rate of decline, it is highly unlikely that football with crowds, will happen in 20/21.  Can we really see the Prem and broadcasters wishing to support Div 3/4 financially?

Looks like the delay in wrapping up L2 could be the further charges being laid on Macclesfield. Presume a further points deduction would see them drop below Stevenage.

Interesting. So will they relegate 2? The EFL is one short because of Bury and the Nat League have I think been making noises about wanting 3 up!

Here’s the charges

1) late payment of March wages
2) failing to act with ‘utmost good faith’ in respect of EFL matters
3) Breaching order, requirement, direction or instruction of the League

Charltons Lyle Taylor says he wont play in case he gets injured, he’s out of contract and being lined up for a big move.

At least he’s honest about it!

Can’t say I blame him. Looks like the EFL have dragged this out to ensure no games are actually played - thereby having consistency over their 3 leagues.

The six or so L1 clubs rallied in their outrage just before the last potential deadline date (because it's pretty clear the EFL wanted this done and dusted a couple of weeks ago)

Now in the build-up to the 'final' deadline, a few Championship clubs are declaring their unhappiness.

Public lobbying.

yeah, posturing ahead of the regulation change vote on 8th.

anyone know the format of such a vote? is it a straight majority, one club one vote? or do the championship hold some unfair weighted vote?

Regulation change requires 51% of all clubs in the league to vote in favour. One vote per club
