Exactly and if anyone thinks it would be one legal process - they are deluded. Any party losing would appeal to a higher court.Judges don't rule in favour of what is morally right, if they did SISU would be wiping the floor with the council!
They rule based on the facts so the EFL would need to point to the rules of the competition that support their actions. Is there anything in the rules that says a season can be concluded early and / or anything to prevent a season being suspended and completed at a later date?
Think legal action by clubs would be the least of their worries. There will be cases to return payments for broadcasting rights, sponsorship, advertising, even season ticket payments.
It all went downhill after Mr. Blue Sky for ELO, so I'm going to ignore that system.The best explanation of Elo on the net is here.
Glicko-2 was made to sort out some of the issue with Elo which I am sure a person of your capability could share with the group.
It certainly isn't my system. If you want to find more about the history of ratings then this would be a good place to start.

Running this stuff (Glicko-2) for City's current season will get you close to this (I am using a Glicko-2 variant but this is what everyone does outside FICS for Glicko).
It's much more accurate then PPG. It sorts out the problems you have with ending a 'round robin' early.
I'll also leave this link here if you don't know what a double 'round robin' is. Just in case.

Edit: Oh, and this is FIFA using Elo.

If they do PPG surely they would have to do it home and away seperately as most teams have a better home record than away(i e Wycombe home PPG at the moment is 2.33 from 18 Away 1.062 from 16 ) . If it's done that way I make it they would be on the same points as Portsmouth and Peterboro but would have to increase their goal difference a lot. May have got my figures wrong but like I said many times on here a right minefield I would not want to be the 1 doing it.

Harry Kane is probably trying to claim he built the wall Dave was working on.There is the issue of influence over society though.
Few people will look at Dave the bricklayer and thinks "we'll if he's not following the guidelines I'm not". In fact few people will even see him at all.
Make it Harry Kane on a football field spending all day grappling with a centre back with millions watching online and it's a different story.
Let’s get trump in, I’m sure he would helpMight have to sue China, So good luck with that.
Matches got cancelled because all the men were at war or dead as a result of the war? There's no solution that could've been dreamt up to solve that and it still can't.
You can't enact a catch all scenario because every scenario might be different. The amount of loopholes would be endless.
And then clubs can claim on their insurance for any lost revenue."Should league fixtures be unable to be finished due to any unforeseen circumstances, including, but not restricted to, war, public health dangers or natural disasters, the league will be concluded as follows:
a) if 70% or more of fixtures have been played then the league standings will be decided on a points-per-game basis
b) if less than 70% of games have been played the league will be considered null and void."
Sorted.
Have that in the statutes and everyone knows what will happen before a game is even kicked. It's a catch-all solution that just removes any uncertainty about what would happen and no-one could complain. No need for discussions/meetings. You just apply the rule that's already set out. Done.
Is there a potential here to see a return to financial sanity at the top level
Can the media Moguls continue to feed the level of involvement previously or need to tighten belts.
Will the behemoths go it alone and market their own channels.
And will the utterly obscene salaries that suck out 100+% from clubs income end.
It's all very precarious but moreso at the profligate zenith.
Judges don't rule in favour of what is morally right, if they did SISU would be wiping the floor with the council!.
"League fixtures must be completed within 30 days of the original schedule. Should league fixtures be unable to be finished by this time due to any unforeseen circumstances, including, but not restricted to, war, public health dangers or natural disasters, the league will be concluded as follows:
a) if 70% or more of fixtures have been played then the league standings will be decided on a points-per-game basis/current league table etc
b) if less than 70% of games have been played the league will be considered null and void."

HA HA
SISU winning a 'morally right' argument. What utter tosh.
Council have been far from squeaky clean in this but their stance has hardened over time because they decided to fight fire with fire.
Was it morally right to force people to give up their shareholdings for nothing?
Was it morally right to try and bankrupt the stadium operator to try and buy the stadium for less than market value?
Was it morally right to put the club into administration so you could control the administration as the main creditor and thus buy it back again under a new name?
Not really. Rotherham in 6th? If it was us in 6th I imagine the view would be rather different

The first thing the Judge would have to rule, is it an act of God because NO insurance covers that .
Might have to sue China, So good luck with that.
Let’s get trump in, I’m sure he would help
Say one club was on a cup run at had played 3 less games and all others had played 70% - also there are two bodies the EFL and the PL
Shares were worthless anyway
Strategy go bankrupt ACL was fine
Administration control was sensible
I said 70% of league fixtures. That means fixtures overall for the whole league. Takes out discrepancies in individual teams
The point was was it morally right. Not was it legal. Not was it sensible. Was it MORALLY RIGHT.
We have an option on Zainbrooke that I'm sure we'll take/have taken up.These are the out of contract players I think:
Junior Brown
Reise Allasani
Charlie Wakefield
Amadou Bakayoko
Zain Westbrooke
Jordy Hiwula
Jordan Young
Dexter Walters
Callum Maycock
Bouwe Bosma
Only Bakayoko and Westbrooke have a little value to the club
This is where there's going to be real problems for me, in football as a whole. Every club will have a list like this.These are the out of contract players I think:
Junior Brown
Reise Allasani
Charlie Wakefield
Amadou Bakayoko
Zain Westbrooke
Jordy Hiwula
Jordan Young
Dexter Walters
Callum Maycock
Bouwe Bosma
Only Bakayoko and Westbrooke have a little value to the club
It’s not a law though is it?
Is there any government funding to support these players/employees? I see it likely that next seasons L1 & L2 will feature a large % of home grown kids on youth/1st pro contracts
No. The point is you MAKE it one.
Will Hellas get a European place - the next most important thing after City's promotion!
I’ve already been roped into going away with some friends for a game if that does happen haha!Will Hellas get a European place - the next most important thing after City's promotion!
How can you claim from a legal POV the EFL should've predicted that a pandemic would've halted the season?
That's literally like saying the EFL would be liable if the season was halted due to an alien invasion because there were no policies in place to mitigate the fallout from such a scenario.
Great news, will boost morale having it back providing its safeAccording to dcms planning for a return of sport is being stepped up

Because all gods are imaginary, insurance companies prefer to use terms such as 'force majeure' which is clearly something which is out of anyone's control. I think there was once a case where an insurance company tried to rely on 'act of god' so the complainant sued god. Predictably enough, god didn't turn up so they couldn't do much.Thing is with act of God, no church/mosque/synangoue et could ever get insurance. As God controls everything, everything is an act of God.
However if you're an atheist you can say there is no God, therefore it cannot be an act of God.
All insurance companies could say they were aligned to a religion and thus never have to pay out. But no-one would use them. So to get customers they have to say they're secular, thus the act of God doesn't apply.
