Playoffs still might encompass one of these batshit ideas though, might it not?

Evo1883 · May 20, 2020

Now it's a case of whether the teams that benefit from a PPG scenario will want to risk playing on and missing out on a chance of the playoffs.. My guess is that Tranmere, Sunderland, Ipswich, Gillingham, Peterborough will all vote to play on... Maybe 2 or 3 more at most can't see it restarting

Surely the only fair way is to void the remaining games, and the table finishes as it is. (Or ppg, which is pretty much h the same thing)

All players and staff can be furloughed until October, or until the new season is safe to start
(Whichever is the sooner)
In reality teams cant afford the extra cost of weekly or daily virus checks, and some squads will be decimated by positive test results anyway, which makes the whole idea of continuing to play totaly rediculous.

I think the option is there just so the rest of them can laugh at the twats who think it's feasible once it gets voted away

I actually think it will still be a 4 team playoff

Evo1883 · May 20, 2020

Just read the extended playoff situation is scrapped and it will go purely on PPG or restart...

Evo1883 · May 20, 2020

Anybody got the top 6 on a normal PPG scenario not weighted

Tommo1993 · May 20, 2020

Vote expected to be on w/c 25/05/....2041

tisza · May 20, 2020

so we get a couple more game in and Peterborough (PPG qualified) and Sunderland move into top 6 ahead of Fleetwood & Rotherham then there's another little outbreak or a League 1 player tests postive and his team has to be quarantined for 14 days.
Wonder how committed they'll be to finishing season to the full 44 games then?

Players need 4-5 weeks to get ready so beginning of July. Then the 9 or 10 games plus play-offs had to put them well into August

where did you read that Evo?

Edit: just read that statement. If it's a straightforward majority vote , I would think most of existing top 6 (after PPG adjustment) would do PPG (as could backfire on them playing games, then slipping out). The middle table and just above relegation will vote PPG and Bolton and Southend will too (as are doomed)

SkyBlueDom26 · May 20, 2020

This is taking the piss now, can see the bully boys persuading the mid table teams to play on.....seems this is far from over

ccfchoi87 · May 20, 2020

I see it like this:

Definite votes for PPG

Coventry
Rotherham
Burton
Blackpool
Bristol Rovers
Lincoln
Shrewsbury
Accrington
MK Dons
Rochdale
Wimbledon
Southend
Bolton

Definite votes for play on:

Peterborough
Sunderland
Doncaster
Tranmere

Swing Votes:

Didn't Southend want to void season so surely they don't want carry on again.

Southend and Bolton if it came down to trying to play or PPG would I think go with PPG. One side is completely skint and so in theory is the other

Can put them in the definite PPG then? Would mean a majority of over 51%

I think you could I don't see why either would have an appetite to keep playing

Add Wycombe to PPG - guarantees them a play off spot.

I think it’s possible they could hunt for Automatics. Left all the play off sides as swing votes given how close it is up there.

Evo1883 · May 20, 2020

Can anybody see the 4 beneficiaries of a playoff spot voting to play on and risk fucking it up?

Well you are going to have to weight because nobody has got it yet.

Liquid Gold · May 20, 2020

For tuck sake. We all know there isn’t going to be significant football player for a while. A few playoff games can be managed. Just sort it out and accept it.

Evo1883 said:

I wouldn’t do it but I wouldn’t put it past 1 of the 4 sides to do it

Sky Blue Harry H · May 20, 2020

If it's a straightforward majority vote, that'll be it - PPG it is (or I'll eat a mad hatters hat)

I think they have always been the EFLs options it’s only various clubs chairmen, mangers etc who have tried to muddy the waters for their own ends. Whichever way the vote goes there’s going to be someone unhappy even unlucky, if the Premiership do decide to re-start in June for six weeks I don’t see why the leagues below can’t follow suit, personally i’d rather go ppg if I’m honest but playing the ten outstanding games doesn’t bother me to be honest.

Nah, teams can keep their staff furloughed and not go under, they won't give a shit what darragh mctwateney or the bellend up north think

ccfchoi87 · May 20, 2020

There must be more than the 4 definite teams I have listed wanting to carry on or there wouldn’t be this much discussion surely?

Evo1883 · May 20, 2020

They wanted to carry on when more than 2 options were being considered... But if they have a definitive choice take it or play on they will soften their stance I'm sure... I reckon at best 7 teams vote to play on

Specs WT-R75 · May 20, 2020

I think only a straight majority is needed. Seems a guarantee for PPG. Why wait until next week to vote though, taking the mick now...

So, after weeks of delays and bullshittery, we're back to square one with the only 2 real options back on the table. And according to that reporter, we're still no closer to getting a result. Well done to all who've extended this drama well beyond its 15 minutes of fame. I'm off to watch the Marble Grand Prix. Jelle's Marble Runs

Evo1883 · May 20, 2020

Vote to play on in my head will be

Peterborough
Sunderland
Ipswich
Tranmere

Possibility of

Oxford
Doncaster
Fleetwood
Gillingham
Portsmouth

Can't think why any others will

Yep I don’t disagree.

SkyBlueDom26 · May 20, 2020

A whole week then for the teams to get bullied into voting to carry on the season, what a load of bullshit why can’t we have the vote Friday.... hope we don’t get fucked over
