But, like Piers Morgan, this doesn't stop him being a cock though. [Post edited 8 May 2020 16:29]

And a fraud too, who has a business under huge financial problems right now.
Still fighting multiple legal cases in the USA right now too. |  | | |

With 3 points separating 2nd from 8th, and 8/9 games still to go, I don’t blame him to be fair.
Assuming L1 don’t complete, it’s going to very tough on those who miss out when it was so close when play was suspended.
As Steve said, it’s not an argument we need to worry about... and as Badger said, Lambert will absolutely take Evans in and fool him in to having another season, despite the fact he should have been shown the door ages ago. |
The real scandal will be if 3rd place gets promoted.
Coming 3rd has never got a team promoted automatically for over 30 years.
Why start now? Just promote the top 2 and relegate bottom 2 from Championship. |  | | |

By your logic doesn't that mean that not getting relegated finishing 3rd bottom is a real scandal?
What about all the other teams over the last 30 years who got relegated finishing 3rd.

Not really.
Third bottom goes down. Third goes into play offs. The precedent is well established. In the EFL anyway. |  |

But in his scenario the third bottom doesn't go down.
So you either have an exception for the team going up or an exception for the team not going down. Both are exceptions not the norm over the last 30 years and he's only worried about one of those exceptions.
I don't think it's a scandal either way which was what he was saying.

Granted, the word scandal is a bit over the top.
But any team that comes 4th to 6th has a right to complain if 3rd is automatically promoted.
Only the bottom 2 in the Championship would complain about 3rd bottom not being relegated but they were going down anyway so why does it matter. | | | |

He’s right, the season should be allowed to finish whenever that may be. Unfortunately I think UEFA is so desperate to hold Euro 2020 next summer that their orders has meant no easy solution for any league across Europe. The domestic leagues should be allowed to finishing maintaining the integrity of the season which started then every other decision is made from there. |  |

Absolute twaddle, there are plenty of other reasons
In fact money is pretty much the only reason to try and force through completion. Put that aside and it just becomes a contest which had to be abandoned, which is why the decision has been reached much quicker and easier the further you go down the pyramid |  |

Spot on and that has always been the issue from the very start. Nevertheless, I understand his frustration as an owner of a club that is right in the mix of a promotion challenge. | |

I think the issue comes when you abandon it and try to treat it as completed. There's no good way of doing that. If they cancel the season it should be cancelled entirely. |  |

He's spot on though isn't he? Play the ball and not the man. |
Ignore that, I thought they were doing much better than they are. They're sitting in 6th place and Wycombe could knock them down to 7th if they win their game in hand. Which would place them in exactly the same position they were last season with 9 games left, and they didn't then make the playoffs.
The blokes' not even close to being spot on - what do they do, promote the top 7 or 8 just to make sure nobody has potentially missed out? If they were a clear 3rd then you could at least understand why he'd be miffed. [Post edited 9 May 2020 9:33]

It's not financially viable to complete League 1 & 2 as the games will bring in costs & no revenue. The motivation in the Championship is to ensure that some clubs can be promoted to the Premier League. |
Football has mostly not been financially viable so play the games and compensate those that can show it has cost them more than usual to put the games on. It wont go well if the season ends now as it will always be unfair to someone. Playing gives no excuses and its the same for every club simples | | | |

The integrity of the competition is the reason to get it done. Holding it off until it can be played under normal circumstances would at least see the fairest ending from the start. Let’s be honest, if we were in Coventry’s position we would not like to see it void and if we were in Charlton’s position we’d like the opportunity to save ourselves rather than it be decided on a PPG basis. | |

Unfortunately there's a global pandemic on, which isn't the fault of the football authorities.
So tough luck, basically.
What amazes me is that there weren't any rules put in place should a season not be able to be finished. If there were, and they were now triggered, no-one would have any complaints. |  |

How much integrity would it finish with? You'd have several clubs in this league and L2 with squads that could well be markedly different to those they started the season with. And by different I mean weaker and probably comprising of several kids. Poor Darragh didn't like that when teams were playing Bolton earlier this season. [Post edited 9 May 2020 16:08]

That's a fair point regarding rules in place for an unfinished season, amazing really.. | | | |

‘Holding it off until it can be played under normal circumstances’...presumably normal circumstances means teams playing in their own stadiums, with crowds, in which case that is absolutely ages away. It isn’t realistic
The reality is that there isn’t any prospect of finishing the season anytime soon, so it’s already compromised. If the league can’t be completed as suggested it won’t forever damage the integrity of football, it’ll just be a season that had to be abandoned as a result of a once in a lifetime global pandemic.
The whole ‘season must be finished for the integrity of the game’ massively overinflates the importance of something which ultimately doesn’t really matter | |

Yeah I posted similar the other day. Obviously this specific situation could never have been envisaged but something happening which prevented a season being completed on time was hardly beyond the realms
An F1-type rule declaring the season either complete or void by a certain date depending on the % of games played would make this whole situation quite a bit easier | |

You'd think something would've been put in place after the world wars? Just needs one line: "If the season can't be completed, X happens" and leave it at that. | |

The next season may not start for a number of months anyway.
Why not simply wait and finish this one when it can be done so that there is integrity to it, even if that means that some players available now to clubs won’t be then.
Next season may have to be one where each club plays each other once only to get it completed so that the season after can start in August 2021 | | | |
