    Moi? Never...

    Actually I'm more interested in your take on the footy season. What gives the least legal headaches do you reckon. A null and void season or a season ended now and promotion and relegation more or less as it stands?

    No idea, Roly.

    I don't think the season will start again (and I was really looking forward to Wycombe – reasonably convenient for me and I like the ground and supporters). If we settle on current league positions, where would that leave the play off placed teams?

    I wonder if there is something in the EFL rules that sets out the position? If not, I think the outbreak would amount to a force majeure in contract law, which would mean that nobody would be in a position to sue.

    Unless there is a provision in the EFL rules, anything is possible. And I have a feeling that if there was something in the EFL rules, some bright spark would have found it and told us all.
