Could there be no relegation?

in General Charlton
The EFL stated a few months ago if L2 teams that got relegated had no division to drop down into they would be spared relegation. So if the conference doesn’t start Stevenage would stay up. My question is if league one doesn’t restart surely they can’t relegate championship clubs. I can’t see many L1 or L2 teams being ready or able to play much before Christmas.

    Yeah, not sure how that one would work. As far as I can remember and someone correct me if I'm wrong, the EFL have a responsibility to ensure their member clubs have a competition to play football in. How that works if those same clubs then vote not to play football I'm not sure, but I would guess the relegations stand and then they take a vote

    No, it would mean that the relegated clubs are part of League One and so they would not play

    Coventry, Rotherham and Wycombe would play as they will be in The Championship.

    Maybe they would let league 1 and below  start and finish later. Realistically none of these player will be compete in the Euros so surely must be able to extend season 2/3 weeks to fit matches in.

    Or they could just do what they did this season and just do it in reverse, i.e. use PPG to decide the first 9-10 games and then play the rest?

    Wonder what the Peterborough owner would think of that idea... :) - Might ask him

    If they did that then they'd have to hold the play off finals at somewhere other than Wembley, as the Euro's start 2nd week of June and England will surely have a couple of friendlies there before.

    Whatever the rules if Charlton can get relegated, they will.
    Fundamental law of science and all that.

    Of course there will be relegation. If League One doesn't start then the relegated teams won't be playing, just like all the other teams already down there.

    This thread smacks of desperation.
