Don't get why people keep quoting the WWII abandonment, 3 games had been played.
Don't get why people keep quoting the WWII abandonment, 3 games had been played.Act of God was an argument I put forward a couple of weeks ago when he started his throwing toys out of his pram. This was totally unexpected and unlike the regularly quoted WWII scenario, we'd almost finished the season, not just 3 weeks in, players being called up for National Service and with an unknown duration and human cost ahead of us.
The kick-off in all divisions took place on Saturday 26 August 1939. On Friday 1 September 1939, Germany invaded Poland. On Saturday 2 September 1939, all divisions of the Football League played their third game of the season. These would be the last fixtures before abandonment following the British declaration of war on Germany on Sunday 3 September 1939. Large gatherings of crowds were suspended with the implementation of the Emergency Powers (Defence) Act 1939.
Lol...they’re getting paranoid there’s a witch-hunt to relegate Tranmere.
Yes they would, when EVERYONE knows that they would win all their remaining games, nick the last play off place and get promotion to the Championship.Would they be relegated on PPG?
You’ve got some cheek to be posting this, whilst in the background your board of directors - in breach of their fiduciary duties - are trying to force through a retrospective rule change (which is prohibited under article 14.5 of the EFL articles of association in any event) which will forcibly relegate Tranmere Rovers, despite there being 10 games left to play, oh, and the EFL are trying to do it by ordinary resolution (51%) rather than by special resolution (>75%) as is required by article 13, and without having given the requisite notice to member clubs in accordance with that same article 13. Shame on you.Stuff like this. plus im sure a few stronger words
Can anyone find the EFL articles of association? Nothing seems to come up online yet all the Peterborough and Tranmere supporters seem to know them inside out.You’ve got some cheek to be posting this, whilst in the background your board of directors - in breach of their fiduciary duties - are trying to force through a retrospective rule change (which is prohibited under article 14.5 of the EFL articles of association in any event) which will forcibly relegate Tranmere Rovers, despite there being 10 games left to play, oh, and the EFL are trying to do it by ordinary resolution (51%) rather than by special resolution (>75%) as is required by article 13, and without having given the requisite notice to member clubs in accordance with that same article 13.

I had wondered about whether the EFL recommendation was a Special Resolution requiring 75% majority
As this quote says the EFL are saying it's an Ordinary Resolution that needs 51%
This will possibly form the basis of any legal argument

Yes vaguely .
Also what about potential of point deductions if mass admins/failures
yep. training counts as work so that's why clubs like Accrington & other non-big budget clubs aren't keen on returning.Don’t know if I’m thinking this right, so stand to be corrected, but surely if the vote goes in favour to play on, then as soon as teams start training they will be classed as back at work and not on furlough, so clubs will have to pay their full wages no more 80% support from HMG
Hang on, wasn't there a deadline of May 25th,(today) set by either EUFA or FIFA, that Leagues had to state whether they would stop the season or play-on?
If that has passed by, surely it's too late to be still voting on it. Just say fuck it, promote the top 3 to Championship and lets go again next season.

What about football debts etc?
That's what I looked at but they're referencing section 13 and 14.5. 13 is to do with grounds, things like ground shares and pitch dimensions. 14 only has 14.1 and 14.2, 14.5 doesn't exist!
Dabo has just put ‘Pump it up’ on Instagram with the hashtag ‘PUSB’. Is it about to happen??!!
On his storyJust looked and it's not on there. Unless he has removed it.

Those regulations seem to put the responsibility for ensuring all fixtures are completed by the final day of the season on the clubs rather than the league itself with failure to complete a fixture being a misconduct offence. Although it does say there would not be a misconduct charge if it was due to an unforeseeable event.
Only had a brief look through those regulations but I think you could make an argument that strictly adhering to them would mean the unplayed matches are void and the as it stands table becomes the final table when the date of the final scheduled fixtures passes.
It's because its governing bodies and clubs are full of the same money obsessed peopleJust seems football is mirroring the Govt. Complete inability to make tough, expedient timely decisions.
I mentioned that earlier in the thread, any court would see their action as frivolousThe lovable Mark Palios issued a statement on their website last week saying that Tranmere were “the form side in league one” and were against any early end to the season because we were “mid season”. Thus to protect the sporting integrity of the league TRFC would vote to continue and if that wasn’t possible want the season null and voided.
Of course he neglected to mention the fact that they’ve dug up the pitch...
The sticking point will be where in the rules it will state (along the lines of) “.,..governed under English Law...,” which as I stated earlier could end up being anything.Pretty clear no winners coming out of this - too many opinions and experts ( same with the main news today) - EFL need to check their rule book and be affirmative about their action and those that have a grievance can make it - then accept the ruling made and move on
Longer this goes on the less likely a restart.Going to drag by the looks of it.
Although leaves very little time to get going to play! (Desired choice by EFL?)
I stand to be corrected on this, but only changes to articles of association will require 75% or over to be changed, whilst rules only require 51%.You’ve got some cheek to be posting this, whilst in the background your board of directors - in breach of their fiduciary duties - are trying to force through a retrospective rule change (which is prohibited under article 14.5 of the EFL articles of association in any event) which will forcibly relegate Tranmere Rovers, despite there being 10 games left to play, oh, and the EFL are trying to do it by ordinary resolution (51%) rather than by special resolution (>75%) as is required by article 13, and without having given the requisite notice to member clubs in accordance with that same article 13.
