Massive cans of worms about to be opened it would seem, with so many repercussions to be felt throughout football whichever path they take.
Yes, there aren't any non-controversial options. Someone will miss out, or feel that they have, whatever the authorities decide on. Got to be decided on the basis of what is the best way of keeping clubs in business, that has to be the first and main consideration, then what is the best option for the majority of clubs. So PPG, we go up as Champions, Man City relegated to L2 due to FFP violations, we take their Champions League place. |

Firstly, all the teams in L2 have to agree I assume on a number of different options, as there clearly in any event winners and losers. Then those options are voted on, in a similar way to proportionate representation until a clear option is left standing as the way to go. |

Unfortunately, I think the BCD debate regarding finishing this season rather misses the point.
If clubs are feeling the pinch now, what will happen if fans arent allowed back in for 6, 9 or 12 months. No income for an extended period of time will sound the death knell for many clubs - even those who presently think their owner will support them. In the short term many owners will - for an extended period it seems unlikely.

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

McAnthony is a well known self obsessed bullshitter. It’s got fuck all to do with him if clubs decide to call it a day on this season. The EFL may take some sort of action - unlikely - but he’s got no sway whatsoever in any sanction on clubs.

The key bit in MacAnthony's message, especially the final sentence, is 'IMO'.
Of course, people now take it as 100% and run with it.
Also amazes me that people don't think that L2 clubs haven't been in regular contact throughout all this.

I don't think anybody will take HIS word for this 100%, he is an idiot and likes the sound of his own voice, I was just sharing what he posted, I personally don't think it has much relevance to anything, but he is not alone in the football world in having this view. There are also just as many that think hes well wide of the mark too. We won't find anything out in the short term, I expect this to drag on for weeks yet. |

Walked past the County Ground earlier. There is lots going on with the pitch, the sort of stuff you see in the off-season. Huge pile of raked out dead grass has come out. Massive pile of sand going in. Machinery on the pitch.
No idea what this means though, if anything.

Getting the pitch ready for a prolonged period without any use I suspect.

Cassidy said the other day that he was ‘sorting out the CG’ so guess they are doing the off season renovations early, seems a few clubs are doing the same. A positive sign though as if we are spending money on the pitch it would suggest we are ok financially as it wasn’t exactly a ploughed field like some other clubs pitches.

Especially when you think of the rain we had this last winter. More like a paddy field but looked superb considering. |
