Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday, Huddersfield and Preston

The leagues are frightened to death over the litigation that will follow if they applied a points per game ratio to complete the season or voided the whole thing altogether. I am sure planning around allowing promotion but not relegation is going on with enlarged divisions next year but this isn’t going to satisfy everyone. Forcing the clubs back takes the pressure off the EPL and EFL and puts it back on club Chairman.
 
As I posted elsewhere it is not just a case of litigation - if we don't get games then Solidarity payments will not get paid without which lower EFL clubs and non league could well fold over the next few months.
Whether Premier clubs should put their hands in their pockets in any case is another matter but there could be a great deal riding on this for many clubs to survive.
 
I thought originally that the EFL would have to appear to have tried everything to get the games played to avoid litigation and loss of solidarity payments, this doesn't mean the season will be finished or any more games played. Interesting couple of weeks coming up, could see a dramatic reshaping of English football, with the traditional pyramid disappearing as we know it?
