7 in favour of null and void, 13 against.

Think this still has an awful lot left in it this story. Can see a lot of those 7 simply refusing to play or furloughing and putting a makeshift team together.

Don’t think many are surprised with the result. It’s what comes after this that is more important I feel.

7 against 13 in the NL, be interesting to see what those 7 decide to do.

I’d say our only thing to cling onto now will be the EFL stepping in and saying the league has lost its integrity.

Yeah this still has legs in it but any chance of the EFL removing relegation this season - for whatever reason - is quite low in my opinion.

Win our next ten games and we can watch the NL crumble under legal challenges from afar.

So no relegation should mean no promotion. The NL is about promotion and relegation so you have to have both to have a league, otherwise their is no integrity.

But if there is no relegation from L2, wouldn't the teams in the L1 relegation zone then argue the same, and so on?

We could definitely argue that integrity is diminished by teams furloughing first-team players and fielding weaker sides.  I certainly expect that question to be raised.

Good point. However there is an argument that the EFL is moving between leagues in the same band. EFL to NL is slightly different.

The more realistic and most likely in my opinion is that a few clubs don’t continue then the EFL really have to step in and clarify their position. They did so before the season started.

I understand your point but I can remember when relegation to the Conference was not automatic. These are strange times calling for a practical solution for today only. Hopefully next season normal rules will apply.

The EFL aren't in a financial mess. The NL is, so there's no comparison.

For me, unless there is a full and fair league programme in the NL, they shouldn't expect to put a team in the EFL.
