Well barrow apart to make up the numbers you can’t have promotion but not relegation or visa versa, would be madness.

Exactly but you can't promote Barrow without one promotion to league 1 or you would have 25 clubs in league 2 next year. So if no relegations no promotion from the national league either.

There’s no reason though why you couldn’t increase league 2 to 25 teams (I accept that you would never be able to have a ‘full’ fixture list). You would then (say) have 3 relegation spots for next year.

I heard they were thinking of bumping the premier league up to a bigger number as well (ie some up from championship but none down) and then gradually lowering the teams (eg 4 or 5 down and then 3 up).

If we ever do get going then 25 in league two in for one year wouldn’t be terrible.

Of course you wouldn’t, 4 would go up as normal but only 3 would come down as bury were chucked out, so barrow in essence might not be “promoted” but invited to participate as the highest ranked side out of the EFL. Or however the hell they go about dressing it up

I think you missed the bit where I said if there were no promotions or relegations as that would count for league 1 as well. So none up or down from the two leagues and promote Barrow equals 25 in league 2 and 23 in league 1. If you want to balance it out you are back with the problem of deciding how to fairly work out who goes up and down between the leagues.

When Chester left the conference their results were expunged and a relegation space was saved. Bury went before this season started and league one went with a reduced number and 1 less relegation spot.

Looks like clubs are saved from relegation before additional promotion spots are given.

The EFL have already stated that promotion and relegation will happen and the leagues will be completed on PPG or some weird PPG weighted with home and away games.

As such league 1 will have 24 teams next season, barrow will come up in place or bury and Harrogate in place of Stevenage. That’s the gist we got from the latest update from the EFL.

As the FL will return to its compliment of 92 teams - the conference have already stated that only 3 would go down from their division due to the knock on effect of bury.

So there wouldnt be any leagues with 23/25 next season.

Adam, if we ever get to go again I will bet you a cold lager at a suitable venue that won’t happen and we won’t end up with even leagues like you suggest.

The EFL have also said that the season will be finished no matter what but that's not going to happen is it?, they have altered their stance on that so it doesn't follow that relegations/promotions will definitely follow either.

If the EFL think they can get agreement from all clubs over who goes up/down then they should go and negotiate a Middle East peace agreement. The only way to avoid mass litigation is to cancel the season and expunge the records so that everyone is in the same position and treated equally.

North London stag it would be nice for us all to have a nice cold beer after this

the “plan” for when all this has settled down is to have 72 clubs in the football league, which will happen in the way mentioned above unless anything changes. I’d be very nervous if I followed the likes of Macclesfield and Oldham for instance.

Of course whether all clubs etc make it who knows, there will be a big change for all after this without a doubt possibly in ways none of us have even thought about.

I personally would like both Notts County and Chesterfield to be in our league as they are all local derbies and make for exciting games to go and watch.Not forgetting that they are all good for revenue.Pretty sure if you asked The Radfords they would like them to play.

I bet their fans were wishing that as well :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think the vast vast majority of mansfield fans would want them both to have at least another few seasons before they came back up.

Last thing we’d want is the stick that it took us 5 years and how they both did it so fast!

Out of curiosity, did either side mount a challenge or attempt on goal in the penalty areas of the game at Moss Road this season to warrant a shout of ‘Penalty’?

If memories serves me right, it was a cold, wet, uninspired waste of a Saturday.

Macclesfield Town have been issued with further misconduct charges by the English Football League, relating to the payment of salaries due in March. The League Two club say they will be "appealing these charges vehemently".

Macclesfield have already been deducted 11 points this season as a result of previous charges, leaving them three points clear of bottom side Stevenage. League Two clubs have indicated they wish to end the regular season at its current point because of coronavirus. If Macclesfield are found guilty of the latest charges, they could be at risk of incurring another points deduction which may drop them to the bottom of League Two and leave them at risk of relegation to the National League.

On 8 June, clubs are set to vote on the EFL's recommended framework of how to conclude a season if teams decide to curtail the season early. The framework includes promotion and relegation between divisions.

Macclesfield have twice been deducted points during the 2019-20 campaign:

December 2019: A 10-point deduction, with four suspended, for non-payment of salaries and failing to fulfil a fixture against Crewe. In March, this was reduced to a seven-point penalty with three suspended after Macclesfield appealed.
May 2020: A seven-point deduction for failing to play a match against Plymouth and non-payment of wages, including the suspended three points from the first case being applied to the second punishment.
An EFL statement said: "Macclesfield Town has been issued with further misconduct charges for alleged breaches of EFL regulations and will be referred to an independent disciplinary commission.

"The club has been charged with failing to pay a number of players on the applicable payment dates due in March 2020, whilst also failing to act with utmost good faith in respect of matters with the EFL and for breaching an order, requirement, direction or instruction of the league."

Macclesfield said in a statement that they are "deeply surprised" by the charges. The club also pointed to part of the independent panel's findings from their most recent hearing, which stated: "The commission should make it clear that it does not consider MTFC's tardiness (yet again) to pay the players' remuneration for March on time necessarily requires a further charge. Given its reasoning and conclusions as above, it would require strong persuasion to impose a yet further points deduction for any such breach."

Last week, the Silkmen Supporters' Trust confirmed it had provided a loan of £10,000 to help towards the payment of players' wages for April.

BBC Radio Manchester reports that wages for May were paid in full and on time.

Looks like the EFL are trying to conveniently shaft them to not have the same issue they had with bury this term.

I agree that they, like all clubs should have to provide evidence on how they plan to fund the season and provide assurances they’ll be no problems - but it stinks a bit that the EFL seem to be trying to shovel them off for a fabricated reason.

Was just about to say exactly the same thing myself. They've been behind on wages all season. There's plenty of time for arguments on what the percentage/cap on wages in the other thread, but not paying wages is the clearest example of living beyond your means.

Their owner constantly didn't pay wages on time, and has not really made an attempt to sell the club either. I feel sorry for the playing staff and everyone else who works for the club, they're the ones who really suffer. And of course the fans.

The EFL will allow this to happen again and again, they couldn't be arsed helping Bury at all and it doesn't look like they want to help Macc either.

Which is a fair point, but the latest punishment is for them not paying wages in full and on time in may, which they have. Both the club and the supporters trust have provided evidence of so and the supporters club provided a loan to help ensure it happened.

So in essence the EFL have currently charged them for not doing something they have.
