Any scenario we win the league not bothered in the slightest
Unfortunately, we're most likely not going to have the luxuary of playing a whole season to see who ends up where, so a decision has to be made on how it finishes without a ball being kicked.
I'm not saying you have mentioned a mini-tournament kg and apologies if you thought that ... but some of the chairmen of these clubs, we know who they are, have. It's ironic they go on about integrity of the competiton, but would support an "innovative solution" to get themselves included in any play offs. If the PPG weighted/unweighted formula allowed Posh to get into the play offs, I wonder if their Chairman would suddenly have a flash of integrity.
I suggest everyone takes a look at Brylowes Covid 19 logo. It really makes you think whether Conservative government planned this all along.
Back to sorting out football leagues....
Personally always been in favour of what is now called weighted Points Per Game that takes in home and away records.
However I can see some merit in having Five teams involved in Play-offs in League one if they take place. Have an extra round with Portsmouth and Peterborough playing off to reach the final 4. Those are the teams that would lose out if a different PPG system is picked.
This principal could be used to solve a similar issue with Bournemouth and West Ham for relegation in Premier.
I've included by Tableau calculation from 3 weeks back to illustrate the situation. , PPGha is the same as weighted PPG.
I suggest that if playing games behind close doors ends up being judged impractical / dangerous, then promotion is based just on top 2 to avoid Oxford and Wycombe arguing over 3rd spot based on PPG formula used.
Playoffs are fine, if it is feasible to do so, but talk of going all the way down to say 11th place is just nonsensical.
Where do you draw the line? Should be as it always has been. 3rd to 6th place.
If you start saying, well let's make it top 8, you then get, well why not make it top 10, top 11, top 12.

You can guarantee that if Sunderland and Ipswich were in the play off places then there wouldn't be any talk of this "mini play off tournament". Should just be the play off places as they stand now. All others miss out.
Sporting integrity, my arse.
Apparently the number of teams wanting to resume the season has risen to 9.
Where did you read that Darragh?Apparently the number of teams wanting to resume the season has risen to 9.

What would they do if a club, say Accrington, simply refuse to play? Or if more than one club refused? Awarding points to opposition would scarcely preserve sporting integrity.Interesting its claimed the rebel 6 want to play it out. I would hazard a guess that 2 of them teams would drop out if it was a 4 way play offs.
Other teams are Bristol, Gillingham and Maybe Lincoln.
This is all rumour based mind you, As no one has a clue even when the meeting is. Some saying today, Some tomorrow.
Getting pissed off with this now. EFL are caving into pricks like McAnthony. Precedents been set with league 2, if you dont want clubs going to the wall then show some balls
Revealed: How League One sides intent to vote in EFL meeting
Alarmingly there are 6 fence sitters who are being described as swing voters.
This isn't great news for us at all if true given that as much as 40% of the league already want the season to continue.
What would they do if a club, say Accrington, simply refuse to play? Or if more than one club refused?
Showing balls would have been to get the funding in place and make every effort for football to be played. Calling a football chairman trying to get games on a prick is like being in the twilight zone

A lot of the swing voters are claiming that they'll go with the flow and vote with whatever appears to be the most popular decision during the meeting. At the minute that gives us the advantage but the vote is certainly going to be tight.

And to enjoy more media appearances and fame.He is a prick when playing BCD will force clubs under, your Rochdales Accringtons etc. All in the vain hope of a very much outside chance promotion.
