Playoffs still might encompass one of these batshit ideas though, might it not?
EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted (3 Viewers)
- Thread starter @richh87
- Start date

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

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?

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)

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.

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

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

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

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
Yep I don’t disagree.

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
