A very good point was made by the Pompey CEO that that division contains a mix of big and small clubs, unlike the other divisions, and that unanimity is highly unlikely as a result. They will have to bite the bullet sooner or later or the EFL will just tell them. I still reckon their season is over but they will have to decide soon or the alternative will be too late.
On the subject of the official site I wish they would get a competent proof reader. We know that Dave is an intelligent man, albeit with an eccentric turn of phrase, and he is quoted as saying that ‘persevering human life is the first priority’. We know he said preserving but it does make the club (And Dave) look foolish when they publish such nonsense.
