    So you’re saying that West Ham would somehow deserve to go down and it wouldn’t be unfair it they got relegated on a PPG basis? Really?

    I can’t stand West Ham or Villa for that matter, but they deserve the chance to play their way out of trouble, same as every club in their predicament has every season. I doubt your view would be the same if you supported a club who were in danger of a statistical relegation.

    The PL pay the EFL £140m a year, which is £20m more than their entire TV rights. The idea that the FA could realistically enforce its will on the PL over an issue like PPG relegation is for the birds.

    I doubt very much that the PL would enter into a stand off with the FA over relegation. Since the meeting and Clark's pronouncement, how many clubs have come out and opposed it?

    Dont think I've argued with the rest of your post. I can see glen Murray's point entirely re the Prem finishing and the championship not. Completely different if neither are finished though.

    Where did I say West Ham would deserve to go down? Where have I said ppg is fair/unfair?

    You mean The Football Association Premier League Limited? You speak as if they're two separate entities combined by a symbiotic agreement, or something, rather than a hierarchical structure. Which is the case?

    I think the idea that 14 prem league teams are going to defy the will of the FA is the one for the birds, but we'll see.

    Premier League Rule 22(D) says only 75% of fixtures need to be played.

    They have been played.

    They are two separate entities. The PL is run by the clubs who form part of it.

    The FA rulebook for 2019/2020 season has a rule called 22d that says in the event of a team withdrawing from a league before completing 75% of fixtures for the playing season all points obtained should be expunged.

    Yeah thats not the same thing. Nobody has withdrawn

    You literally said it wouldn’t be unfair if PPG was used, in the post I replied to.

    And again I've said it's unlikely but it's possible. Clubs won't oppose it now as the plan is to play it out but what happens if they can't finish it and then can't come to an agreement that involved relegation?

    I suspect clubs won't give a **** about going against the FA when there's hundreds of millions at stake.

    They are separate entities.

    In terms of decision making the Premier league is the current twenty clubs. Nothing else.

    I think any club that has mentioned that the League should be nulled or there should be no relegation, should be relegated as they are clearly trying to use the situation to their advantage.

    So far that would be West Ham, Brighton and Palace..... I'm comfortable with those 3 ;)

    I've repeatedly said it's unlikely but it's definitely plausible. All I said was that it'd be interesting to see how it played out if it did get to that situation. Someone would have to blink.

    I think if it comes to it then a couple of swing clubs will just get bought off and we'll get ppg. Our owners got form for that anyway.
