Absolute travesty. It's frustrating enough just to think about something like this happening to us, I can't imagine how infuriating it must be to take this as a fan of a team who has been screwed over. PPG fails to take into account everything that makes football interesting; that anything could happen at any moment. It's basically an attempt at scripting football. If that's the case then why do we even bother? Let every team have a transfer window and then just get the results based on bookies' odds. It would save a lot of time, the players wouldn't get as tired, we wouldn't have to travel to away games. Jackpot.
Very harsh on Sunderland and Peterboro, both sides really starting to show form and could easily have pushed for top 2 let alone the play offs. I suspect Sunderland are in a lot of financial difficulty for not going up this year.
One things for sure if you looks at the teams in League 1
Ipswich Sunderland Peterborough Portsmouth
Coventry and Rotherham going up and the possibility they could be joined by Oxford, Fleetwood or Wycombe, the Championship will definitely(unless Portsmouth win the play offs obviously) have 3 weaker teams than it may have had
Wycombe were level on points with Sunderland in 7th and Peterborough in 6th. Sunderland has played two games more.
im glad Peterborough miss out because of their owners friendship and praise for southall
McAnthony has been a proper whingy bitch throughout all this too
Complaining that they're the highest scorers | have the best goal difference in the league so its not fair they shouldnt be in the Play-Offs
Well how about you make sure you've got the most points for once rather than pointless stats
Sunderland has played a game more than Wycombe and Peterborough, with Wycombe playing one less. It might have been fair to have a Wycombe v Peterborough play off to get to the play offs. But then where do you draw the line.
i quite liked the Peterborough chairman until the southall is a good guy who will do good things comment. I now hope Peterborough struggle for eternity

Another reason why we dont want to go down this year
League One next term with Barnsley | Luton (the other potentials relegated) will be very tough!!
Shameful farce. If you agree to end the season, it is void. You cannot change the rules by which you determine promotion and relegation. Or to look at it another way, the teams from 3 to 6 have the opportunity to determine their fate, but not those in the bottom 3. Absolute garbage. I'd say the same if we were up the top of the Championship. The people running the game are arseholes and I've just about had enough of it. Surely people will not put up with this shit indefinitely.

Depends whether we get relegated though. If we do league one could look extremely tough next season!!
Take a look at Scottish Football, you'll notice that Rangers and Celtic are trying to use the restructuring suggestions as a way to get their "B" teams into their Football League

Cruel and wrong IMO
Especially as their game in hand was against Coventry
Good to see Coventry back in the Championship, cant believe its nearly been a decade since they were last at this level
im glad Peterborough miss out because of their owners friendship and praise for southall
Certainly not been boring being a fan of them though
Relegated | Relegated | Promoted | Promoted | Relegated has been their last five seasons

You finish if you can, you void it if you can't.
PL2, and possibly 3, another day closer.
Thats the simple reason for League One and League Two not restarting

So how does relegating Tranmere make sense.
