You can see what’s going to happen here, EFL void so there’s no relegation from Prem if they were to carry on because they’ve already moaned about playing too many games so they obviously won’t want any more to join them.
Premier League: More clubs open to using neutral venues if relegation removed

So they complete the season "to protect the integrity of the competition" but nobody gets relegated. Wtf?Quote:

You couldn't make this up if you tried could you? "I'm OK with playing behind closed doors as long as it can secure my 70K/week for another year". As many on here have long indicated, it's about time the Premiership house of cards started to fall.Quote:

Finish the season as it is then but with no relegation. Liverpool were going to win it anyway. There would be a minority of teams who would be against this as they miss out on Europe but that's tough.
How about calling the bluff of these clubs by saying there's no relegation but you're not getting the Sky money .
If you earn the right to play in the prem in two seasons time then you can have it again
Best thing to do is no more games this season .
But finish the season via a points average or maybe a panel to do the results, either way we get a resolution without all the agro.
Have normal promotion and relegation based on the final tables.
Then concentrate on next season.
It is the obvious (and fairest) thing for the EFL to do. The EFL should now get on with it, instead of waiting for the Premier League to make a decision, which is mainly based on the vast amounts of money involved in that division.Quote:
