EFL clubs will meet (virtually) on Wednesday to discuss how and when football can restart next season, no decisions likely to be made on Wednesday but first tentative proposals will be made. Clubs are unlikely to vote for a restart without fans present in the stadiums.

Several League Two clubs have apparently contacted the EFL and requested they appeal of the decision to only dock Macclesfield two points and therefore save them from relegation. A decision that was farmed out to an independant adjudication panel this month. some (but not all) clubs are openly angry that Macclesfield have been allowed to get away with non payment of wages on at least five occasions last season and despite being given what amounted to a final warning in March transgressed again without a fit a proper sanction being imposed. clubs are angry that the EFL apparently bottled making a final decision that would relegated Macclesfield instead of Stevenage deciding to pass over any decision to an independent arbiter.

I would love to know the names of the Clubs involved , asking for a friend of course.

No Idea Ron but I think we can safely say Stevenage were one of them, the EFL have come across as extremely weak by not dealing with the decision making themselves.

I listened to the Orient hour interview with Scott McGleish last night and he now works for the PFA. It’s interesting that he said that non league as it stood were unlikely to start again this calendar year. He never expanded on his reasoning for that, but I’m guessing testing costs, no fans etc. Would make it economically unviable.

Im not sure that it’s any different in that respect for league 2 or maybe 1 either on a cost base versus income.

Testing costs will hold things back. clubs would be responsible for testing not only players but staff, to finish our last nine league games would have cost about £200k on testing alone, not doable with no income.
