All Championship Captains told to tell their team mates this current season is over on the pitch.
Thursday 30th April 2020
According to the Daily Mail, Cardiff City's Sean Morrison and Swansea City's Matt Grimes, along with every other EFL captain and all the PFA reps, in the last 24 hours have been told to tell their team-mates there is a 'very real possibility' of no more football being played in this campaign and this season will never be finished on the pitch .
The board have told the players in no uncertain terms that there is "very little expectation at EFL level of any football being played in June," according to the Mail.
In another bombshell revelation, it was discussed at the board meeting that, at EFL level, there will be no supporters allowed in stadia until January 2021.
It is thought the main stumbling block with their return-to-play strategy is down to the volume of coronavirus tests that would be needed for players, a requirement for all levels of football under the tentative proposals which have been tabled.
That number is expected to top the tens of thousands and, given the clear struggles when it comes to testing the NHS and key workers, it is a very clear danger that the number of testing kits needed will not be able to trickle down to football in such a capacity.
The Mail report that one option of deciding how best to finish the campaign is on 'sporting merit', with the preferred method being determining league positions based using a points-per-game system.
There is a possibility that the two teams in the promotion spots, currently West Brom and Leeds United, might be given promotion, with no relegation from the Premier League.
However, such a circumstance would need to be sanctioned by the Premier League.
It would mean Cardiff City and Swansea City, currently two and three points off the play-off spots respectively, would see their promotion hopes dashed.

I think they will end up cancelling leagues 1 & 2 but the premier league and championship will be played out.
Too much money involved to cancel it and that will override health issues at the end of the day even though it shouldn't.
The only really fair way to cancel it would be to take the league back to the half way point when everybody had played each other once and end it at that point

Teh only 'fair' option is to finish the season no matter when that is; even if it impacts/stops the next one
Far to down the line and too much at stake for too many for it to simply be voided
Just a thought but if all else fails, could we get SamRean to play it all out on FIFA20?
