MackworthRamIsGod Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hibs away on a Tuesday night, would definitely have to leave that game 5 minutes early to beat the traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC27 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Actually a great idea. The EFL rules are not fit for purpose in the championship. The rules on how much you could loose each year were set years ago, now year on year there is more money in the sport but the allowance hasn’t changed. The rules were brought in not to level the playing field but to save clubs like Hereford/Bury/Bolton etc but two of them have folded. Imagine a club like Bournemouth didn’t get promoted, instead they ended up in league 1 for a massive points deducted even though their owner is minted. I’ve said this before, after the financial crisis of the banks, two new regulators were brought in one was the Prudential Regulation Authority and there job is to ensure that the banks don’t get anywhere near not being able to continue trading, but they look at their individual circumstances rather than blanketing them all. This is the approach the EFL need to take, they need to look at each clubs individual circumstances and just use a common sense approach. The clubs are being punished for ambition.

Bournemouth started a league 2 season not too long ago with a 17 point deduction. Clearly the EFLs efforts to save them from financial ruin worked exactly as planned as they have now spent several years in the Prem. In regards to the OP i dont really like the idea of just abandoning the League 1 and League 2 teams to oblivion. I dont really think you would have enough Championship votes to make it happen anyway - only a handful of teams are would consider it and even then i dont ghink we'd even be one of them.

1967RAMS Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hibs hearts and Coventry and Bradford wouldn’t be good enough for premier league 3 or even 4. Got to include Birmingham Villa and Norwich if it’s starting next season. What’s Cardiff done to be dropped for so many smaller, inferior teams. Would have thought some NW representation would be good, Preston or Blackburn or both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gisby Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Oh the irony of it all .... Derby County FC one of the original founders of the Football League in 1888 and the team that brings down the EFL (132 years later) in 2020!!! ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bimmerman Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 It'll never happen As much as we may not like the EFL, the competition is actually alright and every team has hopes or fears of relegation or promotion I'd rather us stay in it for the ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel Morris has also stated he doesnt think championship teams should abandon league 1 and 2 teams which is exactly what theyd be doing in any potential breakaway.
