“(But) we’re not doing anything special. The special (people) are the doctors, nurses, scientists, cleaners, who put their lives at risk to save ours. Many people in the NHS put their own lives at risk to save ours.
It’s incredible what they have done and we have to follow them. We cannot do anything wrong.”
In the EFL, there remains a lack of consensus around how to conclude the 2019/20 season. Tranmere chairman Mark Palios, whose club occupy one of the relegation places in League One, re-entered the debate on Tuesday evening with a new proposal for the EFL board.
It suggested any early curtailment of the campaign should see a pointsper-game formula applied to the table, with “the statistical average actual margin for error over the last 3 years” then applied to the results.
Under the suggestion teams in automatic promotion places would go up regardless, while any teams in the current or projected table’s play-off places would be invited to take part in a tournament. Relegation would only befall clubs who were in the drop zone after the margin-for-error calculation.
The lengthy accompanying statement includes an explanation which appears to sum up the root of the plan. It reads: “The beauty of football is its unpredictability. Teams go on strong runs and on poor runs. Some react well to pressure and some badly.
“What is a virtual certainty is that if the season was played to a conclusion, those which PPG puts in the relegation spots would not be those who are relegated, and those which PPG puts in the promotion spots would not be those who are promoted.”
