My view is that it should either be played to a conclusion or voided.
I reckon it could fetch 12, the clubs that would be effected by PPG in terms of going down would vote for resuming if that's the only other option, and the teams just outside the playoffs, as well as those who've already said they want to continue, will vote for a restart. I don't see it coming out on top, but it wouldn't be far away from half.
Between the lines it looks like they’re trying to alienate the smaller clubs and the clubs they can’t spell and they’re in it for themselves. I don’t think Catlin is worried about other clubs he wants promotion as do clubs down as far as fatty Evans mob, but why should we have play offs if L2 cancelled them and as someone posted earlier Port Vale 1 point outside play offs and voted to end the season.Great article..................... couldn`t he spell Oxford? Or didn`t we fit the "big" or "small" aspect?
Was that by a vote?The EFL decided last weekend that it should be points weighted option as Division 2.
We shot ourself in the foot, or we didn’t want promotion, fact.
Yes by vote by the efl committee if my good source is right !!Was that by a vote?

Really? On what formal ratified constitutional basis?At the end of the day all 3 leagues must adhere to the same ruling, If theres no relegation from L2 then theres none from L1 or the Championship either, Which means no promotion, Let the EFL and PL sort out the promotion and relegation spots between them. Though TBH the EFL board should just make a decision and say thats it if you dont like it , tough
I think his/her point is that it seemed, from that original Athletic article and from subsequent accounts of that original meeting that have come out on the airwaves*, that weighted PPG had been brought up and was going to be applied. Something must have happened in the interim for straight PPG to have been adopted instead. I would agree with the poster to an extent in that it doesn't seem like our insistence on finishing the season and being part of the 'Breakaway 6' (or whatever we're being called) has helped to make the case for weighted PPG.League 2 has voted for unweighted ppg. I think your post is light on facts if I'm honest.
Just a season ticket holder’s view, have no inside track, but ...
there’s no way on God’s earth season is going to be played to a finish. All the clubs playing staff are furloughed aren’t they?
Playoffs organised in such a way that participating clubs aren’t out of pocket.
4-6 weeks to get ready, then 5 match season conclusion and everything finished iby end July.
Games free to season ticket holders.
Punters gets to see a bit of football. Important step in the ‘new normal.’
Fingers crossed and then new season starts again in September. Enter I Player variants.
New contractual arrangements - vastly lower money for those negotiating new contracts - for lower league footballers Will be very interesting market when you look at those on existing contracts. Eg James Henry in a much better position personally than, say Matt Taylor. Lots of work for employment lawyers.
All subject to the dreaded virus. There are signs to this reader that it is dying out. But who knows?
Think of the playoffs as being step 1 in the turnaround of lower league football.

I still think the 3 EFL leagues should all finish the same way, and what gives L2 the right to cancel relegation? And cancel their play offs, the FAhave to now come out and take charge they are the governing body and should be what they say goes. Apparently they’ve been working hard for the last couple of months to solve this now if the leagues decide what’s going to happen then you may as well do away with the FA and elect a board from within the 3 leagues of the EFL.
