so because one or two people are shouting louder we abandon the conventional format of four teams competing in the play offs, nonsense. the format has to be the format agreed for league 2.A six team mini league ( for teams 3rd to 8th) would work and be done in 16 days - Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Sunday.
All teams play each other, so 5 games each. Final Sunday games played simultaneously. Could be done on 3 neutral grounds. Top placed team promoted.
I thought it was someone rubbing salt in their wounds! :emoji_laughing::emoji_laughing::emoji_laughing:Quite liked this on Twitter
Sunderland boss backs radical promotion plan affecting Coventry
Even by Sunderland’s standards, this is utterly embarrassing from Parkinson. What makes it worse is that he’s implying we could still fuck it up and should get dragged into this nonsense mini-tournament, that’s been dreamt up. I seriously hope they are left to suffer in this league for many years to come.
Fortunately ‘Phil Parkinson will have about as much say on the final decision as I will.Sunderland boss backs radical promotion plan affecting Coventry

Watched a fair bit yesterday and certainly levels of intensity etc were down.What i saw yesterday from Germany and have said for weeks though is that those teams that have nothing to play for will not bother in games
You are forgetting Bolton had 12 menWatched a fair bit yesterday and certainly levels of intensity etc were down.
Can see sides that are forced to play putting out weakened sides (although didn't help us against Bolton).
we are 8 points ahead of Sunderland with 2 games in hand
happily go into a 7 game season with them , where they only play 5 games and we start with 8 points
To be fair to MacAnthony he spoke well on friday on talksport and agreed that the top two should be promoted and the rest of the chasing group should be involved in a mini tournamountso MacAnthony wants to completely change the EFL rules to suit his club?? It's top two promoted, next four are in the playoffs, winner goes up. I know it's not normal circumstances, but if he yaps on about "integrity" then the normal format should be adhered to. And if we weren't top, I'd fuckin want it extended too, but fuck it let them fight amongst themselves.
DM to take fellow clubs to court as well as EFL. Guys lost the plot. Business is about to fail so he’s lashing out.
Have Peterborough United missed out on a possible £25 million fee for Ivan Toney? Chairman admits failure to win promotion to the Championship would hit the club hard and he’s started legal discussions with fellow clubs and the EFL in his sights
The list of "ifs and buts" long enough to fill an encyclopediaSo part of his case is that, by denying them a play-off place, one of their players will not have the chance to flourish in the league above and consequently they may lose out on a £25m transfer fee from a Prem team? What utter nonsense. His lawyer must be rubbing her hands together.
Mmm, maybe should have focused more on his back five .So part of his case is that, by denying them a play-off place, one of their players will not have the chance to flourish in the league above and consequently they may lose out on a £25m transfer fee from a Prem team? What utter nonsense. His lawyer must be rubbing her hands together.

Just posturing.
I know his son quite well. Nice family and seem pretty grounded. Not surprised by his stance at all.An Update From Chief Executive David Bottomley I suspect this reflects the view of all the 'smaller' clubs in L1.
Was nice to read about the dignity shown by Port Vale and Bradford in their vote. Shame MacAnthony isn't showing any. Happy for other clubs to go under just so his can try and get an unlikely promotion.
2bf if Toney does score 20 goals Peterborough financially can turn down offers. In the pre-Covid 19 transfer window it’s feasible that someone like Watford, Burnley would pay 20 mil for a goalscorer.DM claiming this striker is worth £25m in the Champ is laughable. He slapped a £10m price tag on Marcus Maddison and didn’t he end up going on loan to Hull?
Every club has its limit - almost without exception. Accrington's is to be mid table in league 1 as thereafter they can't sustain it financially. Charlton's is a bit like ours - a good Championship position. You can look at most clubs and see roughly where they should be, and in most cases they are. There are occasional outliers in both directions, but these are getting fewer. Bournemouth are the main exception in the top flight - but they have a sugar daddy (see previous posts) - how sustainable is that?Not wanting us back amongst the top. The guy is clearly off his nut!
