    Clubs have voted for no relegation. I wonder if the EFL will agree?

    Surely it depends on what League One decide whether there can be promotion or not?

    In my opinion they should just void Leagues One and Two, no promotion or relegation, with no relegation from the Championship either, one team comes up from the National League to replace Bury.

    What I don't understand is why leagues 1+2 aren't bound by one decision? They both have the same boss so to speak.

    Only reason they will get away with no relegation is due to Bury going bust

    No surprise.

    League One will follow, I reckon.

    Championship 50-50 or better?

    Cmon, because this is a jump from semi professional to full time football. Would be the same if there was no promotion to the Prem from the Champ. This is a total game changer in terms of a football clubs finances and players esteem. Non League, to League, Champ to Prem. Surely you must see that?

    Harrogate are full time pro's as are the vast majority of the National League.

    The only difference in the leagues is money. Championship clubs can probably afford the tests for Covid and to finish behind closed doors. Majority of league one and league two definitely can’t

    I can see div 1 finishing.

    Think I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again. We need to get the infection rate down to as low as possible and then we must track and trace and isolate every single new case we find and their household. That way we know where the virus is and we know who’s got it can’t spread it. At the minute it is probably out there everywhere and out of control. Until we have that then crowds cannot return.

    Also a new seaons brings with it new sponsorship, new ticket deals etc. So income comes from that

    No chance in brings in Sponsorship at the same levels. No chance.

    New ticketing deal? What are them?

    BCD doesn't work for div 2. It's an extremely poor standard.

    The cost for not finishing the season will cost clubs more in the long term. So now season ticket(games refund), sponsorship refund, TV refund, wages and no income coming in.

    In terms of the App I agree it will be good if it works correctly but we still are testing and only 50% in IOW have downloaded it. We need are 60-8O% of the population to download it for it to be effective and what's app haven't even got that.

    We would still need the testing and we can't afford it now. So what makes you think the league will in September.

    Next season isn't happening for div 2 and clubs WILL go under.

    Wonder how Championship clubs will be hit.

    Most already lose a fortune every season.

    Most will have key assets e.g. Birmingham with that 16 year who Utd, Liverpool want. Leeds have Phillips, Brentford have 3 good forwards.

    PL clubs won't spend big in the summer and could dip into the championship plus I can see some tv rights for the Championship increasing.

    Championship situation is different to div 2 club with no player assets or income coming in.
