I see Tranmere pressed on an played today with something like 8 positives because the EFL couldn't guarantee they wouldn't get a 15 point deduction!
If that is what we are facing then we are screwed.

15 points deduction for looking after both sets of players. Well bring it on . Pathetic.

If that’s true it’s allows comforting to know that the EFL always has the best interest of their clubs at heart.

Good luck trying to deduct any points from teams postponing due to covid cases.
Pretty sure the EFL would have court cases coming at them from left right and centre.
Government rules are very clear, still don’t know why the EFL think they have the right to make their own up.

If the virus carries on we could win the league with 1 point.

Indeed. We followed NHS guidelines, it’s as simple as that. The EFL, the shìthouses that they are, will not dare trigger the PR disaster that any points deduction would inevitably being.

I’m nit so confident. I think you may be overestimating the FL’s competence.

If they issue points deductions then clubs are just going to start lying, assuming some aren't already.

From the Tranmere web site....
The Club would be able to field a team but only by playing players out of position and fielding youth players. We also were unable to name seven players on the bench this afternoon.
Given the situation, the Club spoke to the EFL regarding whether it would be possible to postpone the match. We were informed that if we did so there would be a formal investigation, as would happen in the case of any failure to fulfil a fixture. We were also informed that as there was no medical advice that it was unsafe to play, there was no guarantee that the Club would not suffer a deduction of up to 15 points as a consequence. This was not a risk we felt prepared to take.
Don't be so quick to judge!

We should maybe try that theory out, lose every remaining game by 6 or 7 goals, finish the season on 1 point , -250 goal difference but get promoted ;D

it says up to 15 points.....Bolton got 5 points suspended for 2 games...I find it beggars belief that a club would be docked more points for failing to make one fixture...than a club going into admin....I maintain its
balderdash.

As I said yesterday demonstrates that EFL is totally inept in its management of Covid and the protocols to follow in the event that a club has a player testing positive. It matters to them one jot that the current approach not only places people at risk but also removes the ability of holding a fair competitive league where fixtures are played on a level playing field ( no jokes about our humps being removed please).

Interesting to see in Tranmeres reply to the EFL that they were told that those clubs who called games off with covid incidents could with medical advice saying it was unsafe.
Us?
Only other club is Crewe, their player travelled down to Oxford?

The Crewe player, Beccles former Shrewsbury player, also played seven days later in Crewe’s next league game another matter being investigated. Stable door and horse bolting comes to mind and as I have said on other threads demonstrate a total lack of defined protocols for clubs and players to follow.

You can imagine the government and its scientific advisers discussing whether to allow spectators back in football grounds. It wouldn't be a long debate.
