Hmmm
This is getting quite tricky now. Perhaps we should get Diane Abbott in to sort it out. You never know we could go straight to the Prem 😉


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Project Fatique from the EFL, the peasants will get tired off protesting eventually and get used to and accept it.

Sounds like curtains for Bury unless another buyer steps up in the next two hours. Then they'll get another extension.
At some point someone in the EFL is going to be forced into a decision

But then you have only two clubs coming in to L2 from L1 and you have four leaving. Meaning you've now only got 22 teams.



Maybe I didn't make myself clear. Bolton and Bury thrown out of League 1 plus two relegated, all 4 teams to be replaced by promotion from League 2. That way only League 1 is affected. Surely that is fairer than everything cascading down the pyramid?

Sorry not understanding you here. If Bury and Bolton disappear who makes up the numbers in L2 then? As we will only have 22 teams surely?

Except for L2 which now has two less teams.

What worries me about this whole situation is what happens after the potential liquidation of the two clubs - worst of all the threat of a possible repeat of the Wimbledon relocation.

Particularly in the case of Bolton, the stadium owner, council etc. cannot afford to let that stadium facility go to waste, even if it is only for 5-10 years while Bolton re-climb the non-league pyramid. I'd like to know what is in place to stop AFC Fylde's rich owners (for example) shifting their club to Bolton? The EFL have never acknowledged that moving Wimbledon to MK was a mistake, quite the opposite, so would they still back such a thing?

Even the idea of someone merging the two teams to form one phoenix club sets a really dangerous precedent, sad that we cannot trust the EFL to look out for its member clubs' longevity and future on these matters. History suggests that the two clubs being liquidated will not be the last outrage in this long line of abuses.
