Exclusive: Leagues One and Two abandoned, clubs to vote how to decide places
The English Football League will next week tell clubs in Leagues One and Two there is no chance of playing any more games this season and ask them to vote on a method to decide promotion and relegation.
EFL chairman Rick Parry told MPs on the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport select committee on Wednesday morning that a resolution to the season in the third and fourth tiers was only a matter of days away and it now seems a decision could come as early as Monday or Tuesday.
The Athletic understands the EFL board has already received several proposals from clubs, with the current favourite being a points-per-game (PPG) model weighted to reflect how many games the teams have played home and away.
The rationale for this idea is a non-weighted PPG calculation does not take into account the fact that some teams have four home games left, while others have six.
This season across the Football League, the home team has won 46 per cent of the time, with away...

Brighton technical director, Dan Ashworth has proposed that the league look again at the prospect of B Teams (of Premiership Clubs) being allowed into the pyramid to replace the ones that may be faltering due to financial reasons. This 'I've got loads but want more' attitude must not be allowed to fester and should be resisted at every level. Football is the people's game and not the plaything of a small priveliidged group who are only looking to cement their place at the top of the pyramid.
We already suffer from the effect of mega rich clubs dominating our game and sucking the money out of it. Imagine what would happen if those clubs also owned feeder clubs sweeping up the blossoming talent of players hoping to be part of their first team if they can shine. This suggestion should be resisted at every opportunity.

If anything, we need a long enforced absence from football to get us to fall in love with it again after the disappointment of last season, the Dempster appointment and the following shambles.
