I think that oxford and certain other teams are saying they want to play on to not show their fans they lack ambition to make the top 2.
How would these clubs pay wages and bills with no income coming in because games are BCD.
No matchday walk up money or away fan money, no corporate money or match sponsorship.
Could all league one owners prop the clubs up? Would we see more teams go to the wall if the season plays on?

Can’t ever see that happening. They will say 75% of the season has to be completed and then in those circumstances they will use whatever system. If it’s less than 75% then the season is cancelled null and void. The 75% rule already exists.

We're Cov fans. We're entitled to think the rug will be pulled out from beneath us. My heart says we're not only safe from relegation but we're going to get promoted as Champs. No matter, my brain keeps saying "Hold your horses. Wait until you can hear the rather well-endowed lady singing and it's confirmed".

Where have the Premier league said there may be no relegation? The BBC news reporter suggested that, but in the interview with Richard Masters that followed, the statement was made that "curtailment was still possible", which is true. Relegation was only mentioned in the statement "scrapping relegation would come up for discussion" in the event of curtailment . The FA has a veto on any decision regarding that and have categorically stated relegation and promotion must happen. I would not worry about that too much at this stage.

This was today
Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has conceded that the notion of scrapping relegation is yet to be discussed, with it still potentially on the cards.
The top-flight is continuing it's push towards a return to action in mid-June but relegation is a sticky subject, particularly if the season cannot be finished.
On top of that, some clubs are objecting the idea of relegation to the Championship if the second-tier campaign is unable to be completed - with their belief being that both divisions need to finish for promotion and relegation to occur.

Or 1 pt clear of 8th
At least one of these playoff sides would fall out of contention. I think as a fan of these 4 playoff clubs I'd be taking what we have rather than gambling.
Might only get 2 games in before it shuts again. So Oxford could easily drop from 3rd to 8th and have no chance of recovering.
Level of uncertainty so high.

Wycombe are the ones taking the biggest risk in my opinion. They move to 3rd under PPG. If everything stopped due to e.g. level of coronavirus within squads and no more games could be played - possibility of confirmed 3rd place. They'd be mad to opt for anything else in my opinion.

Just a feeling mate - they're in form, they've won their last 5 games ... but apart from Ispwitch, it was all vs teams in the bottom half. Prior to that, they had only won one league game in 8. They still have to play four teams in the mix, including us. I just think that playing some decent teams, they'll crumble and I can't see them getting an auto spot. Only a hunch.
