Rotherham United Chairman Tony Stewart thinks that fifteen clubs will vote on Tuesday to end the season.
Mr Stewart told the BBC that he believes the consensus is not to complete the fixtures saying, ‘I don’t think for one minute the team that is fourth bottom is going to want to continue and the teams right up to tenth will feel the same.’
If our Chairman is correct and there are fifteen clubs who vote to end the season then that will get the fifty-one per cent that the EFL say has to be for the vote to go through. But if that happens will we still be waiting to hear how the season will end or will that decision be made on Tuesday as well?
If the fifty-one per cent majority isn’t there then the season will have to carry on to it’s end – whenever that may be – and that must be worrying for some of the clubs money wise especially with the cost of £150,000 being bandied about for the coronavirus testing alone.
Meanwhile Brian Barry Murphy who is the manager of nineteenth placed Rochdale has told Radio Manchester that he wants the EFL to ‘make a swift decision’ saying that the problem is that ‘every single club in the country will have a different agenda depending on where they are in the league or what their personal circumstances are. There hasn’t been anything new for the last two or three weeks and it’s time for the EFL to make a decision.’
