    I noticed that promoting the top 2 in the championship but not relegating anyone is being considered by the premier league in the likely event we get no more football

    I wonder if the EFL will follow suit in our leagues and the national leagues too...to finish in the bottom 3 and not get relegated would be some achievement!

    Unprecedented times even in wartime .
    Imo the sporting world have got this one right and as Klopp says even if it saves ONE life it’s worth it and I agree whether we stay up or get relegated it’s meh in perspective of what’s going on.

    They'd have to do the same surely?

    It sounds ok at first glance, but in the longer term the prem wouldn’t want to run with 22 clubs for more than a season so there would then have to be balancing out
    I can’t remember precisely how they managed it when they reduced the top tier from 22 to just 20 clubs

    The plan would be to relegate 4 sides for the next 2 seasons. At least that was my understanding

    It was at the end of the 1994/95 season. Four clubs were relegated from the Premier League, with only two being promoted from Division 1 (as was). Middlesbrough were the only club to be promoted automatically, as champions. The next four were in the Play Offs and Bolton beat Reading 4-3 in the Final. The club that missed out on a Play Off place that season were Barnsley. We finished 6th, which in any other season would've guaranteed a Play Off place. It was also Danny Wilson's first season as manager.

    I heard that the German FA are considering this too but I believe (I'm not certain) that their top flight has only eighteen teams and there could be a longer term plan to increase it to twenty.

    I’m a cynic - promoting the top two in the championship - Leeds and WBA. Would they do it if it was Brentford?

    Was that the season when the Oakwell announcer mistakenly said we were in the playoffs at the end of the last match?

    No, that was vs Middlesbrough where we missed out on goal difference.

    I don't understand how you can make the decision that the current league positions are an acceptable way of deciding who gets promoted but not who gets relegated? It has to be all or nothing, you can't pick and choose which league positions we are taking as fact

    I don’t get it either.

    I’m not going to complain if it keeps us in the championship, though.

    My plan

    work out each clubs points per game, re align the league table, this evens it out for those clubs who have games in hand

    promote clubs across all the leagues and pyramids, no relegation

    extra relegation next season to realign the leagues. This also gives all clubs extra games next season to compensate for missed ones in this.

    it’s not ideal but if we can’t play the games something must be done.

    is chalking it off an option and starting again next year?

    Because if we relegate teams using a 'special rule' there'd be a legal challenge because of the massive financial penalties suffered - whereas just promoting the top 2 would likely be seen as 'fair enough', especially as in the Champ and L1 the top 2 have been fairly consistent for most of the season. Again - gifting Liverpool the trophy wouldn't be fought by anyone.

    No. That was at the end of the 1990/91 season, just after we'd beaten Middlesbrough 1-0. Brighton were still playing their home game with Ipswich and when our game finished, that match was still 1-1. Unfortunately, Brighton then scored a winner to pip us for that final Play Off place.

    I’d forgotten the exact detail but I remember most of the crowd went home thinking we were in the playoffs for the very first time. I was stood on the of Ponty end near a bloke with a radio and heard what was happening at, as you say, Brighton. Didn’t they score a worldly from a free kick which was virtually the last kick of the game?

    Thereby increasing the size of the Premier League, I thought they've been dead set against that from the very beginning.

    Yup. A toe ender from full back Wilkins flew into the top corner. Like you, I was stood with my mate who had a radio. When Brighton scored, he said "Let's get out of here", as all round us fans who hadn't heard the news were celebrating. We just walked out of the ground, feeling totally deflated.
