  • Fewer clubs would suffer yes, but ultimately it's still a decision being made that isn't in line with the agreed format of the league. Making the right decision isn't really about reducing suffering, it's about doing what's fairest within the previously agreed remit of the league. I think that if we started playing we'd probably still go down; morale at the club must be terrible and you can probably throw all the form that's gone before so far in this league out of the window given the amount of time that's passed and the events that have occurred. Hull might not be anywhere near as terrible as they were, they might be worse. At least if we play out the season we can say that we were entered into a 46 game home and away league and we completed it to settle our place in it. I don't think altering the structure of the leagues is justifiable. I still think the league should just be cancelled though because people's health is more important than a bit of sport and certainly more important than TV companies and league executives lining their pockets.
    Ah yes I agree it's about fairness. But surely the fairer it is, the less teams suffer? 

    I don't agree altering the structure isn't justifiable. It's certainly as justifable if not more so than relegating teams who still had 9 games to play. That way the teams at the top are being rewarded without teams punished. I think you are down to just a few clubs complaining, rather than double that figure.

    Seems like there is only one type of "integrity"  EFL are great at preserving..........
    Will Charlton be entitled to any "severance?"! English football administration has become rotten to the core.

    At least if you voided all of the second games against sides, you would have a league that reflected 23 games against every side. But of course that would not be fair as teams could have harder away games than home ones and you would be disregarding actual results. The problem is, you can't do fair so you have to be logical. That can only be completing or voiding if you can't.

    Actually playing play off games after stopping the season prematurely is about as ridiculous as you can get.
  • Anyone up for a socially distanced march on the EFL offices?
    Just google my route to the London office just in case its needed at some stage haha

  • I just don’t get how they could potentially rush the play offs to maintain ‘integrity’ and yet a team in 6th place in league one now could relegate us?

    Surely (and I know I’m biased) but promote the top 2 and relegate the bottom 2 who would very probably have gone down anyway, and scrap the play offs.

    I have a funny feeling Sunderland are gonna nick our place

    I think Sunderland would miss out, wouldn't they?
  • Yeah sorry my mistake just seen the table

    Oxford then 😂

  • I suspect staying in the Championship may make it easier for us to do that.
  • Anyone up for a socially distanced march on the EFL offices?
    I'm up for an anti-socially focused march on the EFL offices.
  • The season has to declared void. If remaining games are played they will not be under the same conditions as the previous ones. 
    But the reality is the new season, will not start as planned and no spectators.
  • League One next year, -12 points, Youngsters and a real chance that Bowyer will be gone. It could still be worse.

    Then a further relegation next season.
  • No, they should finish the season or void the season. 

    This is the only fairest way.  Anything else is a nonsense.

    Surely we can win 4 more games than the 3 shitest teams in that league, we'll find ourselves in league one anyway in 2021 with-12 in the championship amd by far the worst budget. 

  • Then a further relegation next season.
    And a further relegation would deliver us from EFL forever, and ever. Amen.
  • What happen in 1939 when war broke out  ?  Didn't they just end the season. No promotion or relegation there I don't believe. Therefore a precedent has been struck. Doesn't matter if they only played a handful of games.

    Funnily it was Leeds bottom of the First Division that year, just three games had been played... thankfully when Football resumed in 46/47 they still finished bottom

    Maybe it could be more effective if they each took individual action. No reason why they couldn't consult each other through the process. Bombard the EFL with cases to defend.
  • CHARLTON TO BE EVICTED FROM THE CHAMPIONSHIP?

  • Perhaps email the EFL to say how stupid there idea is without sorting out Brum/Derby and the Massives! 
  • If this happens it will be a scandal. 

    Void or finish, those are the only two right options. 
  • Void isn’t an option. You can’t have teams who (in some cases) are dead and buried squirming out of relegation.

    Next season is gonna be compromised already so just finish this one whenever is safe to do so.

    Speaking honestly when we consider all going on at the club and how we were playing before the break, there’s every chance we are heading down, but at least it’s on the pitch.

    Who is dead and buried in the Championship?
    Thinking more Norwich in the Prem... I assume we are mirroring their rules.
