useless Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 If they were to do that they'd roll it back to when everyone had played 28 games, which means we would still be relegated, as Bournemouth, West Ham and Watford all lost their 29th game, meaning if you were to remove those results they'd still be above us in the table, bottom three would stay as it is now. Wouldn't be a fair way of deciding the league anwyay whether it benefits us or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Between his interview with talksport and the times it seems like Purslow is in favour of the season restarting but if the games are played at neutral grounds then he wants relegation removed, and to just use the rest of the campaign to decide the title race and Europe and to give the lower leagues a boost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Maybe they should scrap European football for next season. Give leagues a chance to finish this season and next season too without the extra games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me playing out the season without a relegation battle is like a massage without a happy ending. Just a waste of time !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 removing relegation is a farcical idea but so is insisting on playing during a pandemic, playing at neutral grounds or playing behind closed doors 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I agree its not a fair way of deciding that, we would then still have 4 teams with games in hand as everyone played GW29. To get every team on the same amount of games played (28) they would have to annul the game week where we didn't play(GW28)— and West Ham/Watford/Norwich all won in that week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 5 hours ago, OutByEaster? said: The gap between the Premier league and Championship is becoming enormous - a well run, properly managed, financially sensible team from the Championship, if promoted would need to spend three to four hundred million pounds to compete with the likes of Watford or Crystal Palace. The gap is becoming too big - for me the problems are on both sides of that gap, not just the EFL one. Agreed. The parachute payments were originally made to give promoted teams a chance to complete in the PL, without putting them in financial jeopardy to do so. Removing it, would in my opinion, be removing the drawbridge and it would lead to even more promoted teams, going back down after just one season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 The surprising thing about it for me was parry said scrap the parachute payments and instead have the PL trickle some money down to all of the EFL Why can't they do both? There's enough money for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabby Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Also in the Mirror Training full contact to only start days before first game to avoid any positive tests and massages /ice baths banned so likely loads of injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okonokos Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 There's just no way the season can continue and the fact that they're trying so hard to find a way sums up this morally corrupt cesspit of a game we watch. But I'm sure they'll find a way. Money grabbing scum. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 If we can't get relegated, hey play the games in the middle of nowhere with no fans in empty stadiums. I dont care. If we can get relegated, its a disgrace and a ridiculous threat to to the survival thousands of people which should be rejected on the strongest possible terms.
