Interesting words from Mr Palios.
Mark Palios is the one person who is uniquely qualified to run The FA and The PFA, as well as TRFC. It must be frustrating for him to see such muppets doing so little to sort the mess out.

Yes, that is the best analysis of the current situation I have read. And then you have absolute drivel from the likes of Gordon Taylor.......

Changing the subject a little. I see that a majority of Newcastle fans,in a poll, support the Saudi takeover but will allegedly hold them to account on their human rights abuses, treatment of women, murder of journalists, starving of the kids in Yemen etc. Good luck with that. Prince Salman will just snigger to his mates! 'Lots of good PR for us and we might even advertise on the shirts!' It just goes to show how important football success is to some people. Ashley was not the greatest owner but even so.

No, Ashley is only famous for running a (very large) sweatshop and exploiting his workers. A saint compared to Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The Telegraph is reporting that Leagues One and Two will be cancelled next week and settled on a points per game basis. Twenty of the twenty three League One clubs favour this approach apparently.

it wouldn't be a surpride, the key for us will be will they promote the team in 4th place in league two or not

It will also be interesting whether the 3rd placed team in L1 goes up.

So on points per game we would be relegated? If so, a crying shame as I think we were playing well enough when games were halted to have moved above Wimbledon at least.

You would think the team finishing 3rd would also go up as there would be no playoff.

They have realised that finishing the season will leave them out of pocket and want to cut their losses and start afresh. That's understandable, but relegating us like that is unfair and would only happen if the majority of clubs (who are unlikely to get promoted or relegated) simply gang up on us and impose it to suit their own interests.

I think promotion and relegation will take place, but the uncertainty relates to the play off promotion places. It seems illogical to relegate us and promote the fourth placed team in League Two, who in reality only had a 25% chance of promotion. However, these are the English football authorities we are talking about........

Sadly that is the problem. I doubt we would take legal action if relegated and would just have to hope that our better financial situation puts us in a stronger position to come back up.
