    "A long time ago, as Vice Chairman of the Conference, I fought relentlessly, along with our Board, for 2 Up 2 Down. We finally achieved that in 2003, with a view to moving to 3 Up 3 Down within a reasonable timeframe. But 17 years on, 3U3D has still not materialised. So perhaps now is the time to use this turmoil to deliver more fluidity between the EFL and National League with 3U3D.

    "Since the National League season wasn’t completed in the way it was intended, one option is to leave League Two as it is, with no relegation, and promote one club from the NL this season instead of two, to bring the EFL back to 72 teams, but with 3U3D established and in place for next season. No lawsuits, no clubs bankrupted and something created for the National League that appears to be impossible to achieve.

    "There is no financial penalty for any League Two club with this option either, as the budgeted relegation savings from League 2 this season can be applied to the 3rd relegated team. Funding was always the main problem to 3U3D, in that there wasn’t any. If we don’t relegate this season, there will be around £2million of EFL relegation savings over the next 2 seasons to make 3U3D happen.

    "If the National League would agree, I believe this could be an option for clubs to consider and vote upon as a solution to the bottom of the EFL."
    So he wants to implement it from NEXT season in exchange for no League 2 relegation this season. To save a club that has won 3 league games all season.
    Here is my counter offer. No. Relegate Stevenage and look to promote 2 as intended.
    Next season move to the 3 up and 3 down. I would modify slightly where I would put the team that finishes 3rd bottom in the football league in to the National League play off picture.

    Yep- that's a far better result;- Stevenage go down and the NL still gets what it wants
