So, What Happens . . .

[Private Fraser]

Nothing new, but a good summary of the decisions to be made in the EFL.

Yes, a good summary of some of the issues.

Also spotted this from yesterday. Bowyer's a bit of a tool....but not one of the sharpest.  He doesn't really [want to] understand the concept of PPG, does he?

Bowyer's "we've only been in the bottom 3 for one week of the season, so don't deserve to go down" shows an ignorance of many cruel last day of the season outcomes.

Tbf our relegations have generally been nailed on well in advance.

So...from next season, we're going to record the league table after every game, & then average that over the season to decide the final standings?  Bit worrying this, but I think someone needs to explain to Gary how league tables work.

Has that money left to STFC in a will been used yet? If not, I couldn’t think of a better way to spend it than on keeping the club afloat.

Also, if the club (Power) and the Trust had their funding in place to purchase the CG (£2m) couldn’t that be used instead as above?

Wrong Bowyer. This one's Lee.

I think the fairest solution all round is to not have any promotions/relegations at all, keep the tables as ppg in L2 and National level, promote Swindon who finish top on PPG in place of Bury making L1 back to its normal size of 24 teams again and then promote Barrow and Harrogate to L2.

Leave the rest as they were and start again, simple.

I can see nobody arguing about that........

Is that all the cash though?

He left £2m, apparently he contributed around £800k to it from that.

Nobody in Swindon, anyway!

I think whatever method is used or whether it’s declared null and void we’ll go up even if it’s just to replace Bury, as you say.

Mind you, if there’s a whole heap of clubs going to the wall, any league format will be entirely different to what we have now.

Nah I can’t accept that, any scenario that see’s Southend and Bolton in league 1 next season is beyond farcical.

Ah, didn't realise that. Cheers PV

Completely agree. Just do PPG. Weighted if they absolutely insist, but PPG.
