Max has put this on his Instagram - read into that what you will
Wouldn't that be more related to contracts and insurance than competition rules? In any case it would likey need epidemic or pandemic to be specifically mentioned.Just seen on Twitter a comment that any proposed legals won't hold water due to "Force Majeure" or "Act of God". Any legally minded folks care to pass comment on this ? Are the threats of action just hot air ?
16 pts adrift with 10 games to go, and he talks about having integrity.
Southend United chairman Ron Martin calls for League One season to be voided
That doesn’t make what he’s calling for ‘fair.he admits it’s purely out of self interest to be fair

I like to think I wouldn’t, in fact I’m very confident I wouldn’t.Everyone will vote on self interest - we’d want the season voided in the relegation season - imagine if this was the season we were relegated from the premiership
I like to think I wouldn’t, in fact I’m very confident I wouldn’t.
Can’t remember which one, but one of the premier league chairmen (I think) was basically admitting that of course they will all make decisions based purely on self-interest as they always do. Sometimes those interests align and you get broad agreement, but only because it suits the majority.I like to think I wouldn’t, in fact I’m very confident I wouldn’t.

All clubs (businesses) will act in self-interest, what else would they do? There is no way that we, for example, would possibly vote for anything that saw us missing out, whether it was ‘fair’ or not. We have to hope that any solution that requires voting on includes us winning the league, getting promoted — and crucially satisfying enough other clubs to make it something a majority will vote for.
Apologies if mentioned elsewhere but do we have any idea when the EFL may make a decision, is there a meeting were waiting for or do we just not know... the tension is becoming unbearable!
Thanks - whats another week of waiting hey, haven't got anywhere to be!I think there's a meeting this week. Not sure what day or whether they'll give a definitive answer on how the season ends but hopefully we'll have a clearer picture
Same. I we were 16 points adrift, I would think it only right and proper we were relegated. I think I would only be peeved if we were the likes of say, 5 or 6 points adrift with a game in hand.I like to think I wouldn’t, in fact I’m very confident I wouldn’t.
Something EFL related going on tomorrow and then Thursday apparently...Apologies if mentioned elsewhere but do we have any idea when the EFL may make a decision, is there a meeting were waiting for or do we just not know... the tension is becoming unbearable!
They’re talking about the PL, not League 1 and 2.Sky reporting pro sport could return behind closed doors from june 1st
do we think the leagues could still be finished ?
25th May is the key date. UEFA have said domestic leagues have to have their plans in place by then. Either to continue or how they are going to terminate the season.No pro sport to be played before 1st June, nothing new here. Prem rumoured to be 12th June. L1 & L2 wont be finished, likely confirmation this week.
They are not effectively paid until the end of July. Contracts end when severance is paid on 30/6, player would have no obligation to turn up for anything from 1st July onwards.I believe those out of contract get a month's severance pay so they are effectively paid until the end of July

Would effectively be playing for free unless contracts were extended until July 31st and Severance would then be another months pay paid on 31st July.
Not sure how a player would be covered for Doctors/sickness/insurance etc. and also don't think they would be able to play for a club if their contract ends on 30/6, surely a player without a contract cant still be registered to a club.
This is one issue a lot of clubs are facing, they'd have to pay another months wage to any players they want to use in the remaining games with 0 income to offset this cost against, if you were Accrington, Shrewsbury, Crawley etc you'd be crazy to do that.
Voided and is crowned champions ? Or just all voided ?Ian Dennis said earlier on 5live he expects L1 and L2 to be voided this week.
