I see more relegation fodder in Watford are opposing neutral grounds as unfair. Not sure how that works as both teams are away but there you go. Anything for a cynical attempt to avoid the drop.

It needs 14 out of the 20 apparently to get the vote passed. In effect 6 teams could fukk football in this country for the next 2 or 3 years.

Will be a close vote, Villa & Brighton have also objected to the neutral venues idea, Bournemouth & Norwich are in the bottom 3, so I can see them supporting whatever keeps them up, so they only need 2 more votes , West Ham have gone quiet recently as Karen Brady has made them look like idiots, but we know how they will vote.

Bit of a disaster in Germany. Bundesliga 2 side Dresden have 2 players tested positive and have put whole squad into quarantine 2 weeks before they restart their season. They are bottom of the league. If some of our teams look at this I fear we won't restart at all.

But what will happen if they do not agree, will that mean that the season in over. Anybody knows how the EPL will decide how to conclude the season, ie, null and void or as is etc? I think, before the vote the EPL should say what will happen if teams dont agree on the neutral venues, of they say the season will ens as the table currently shows, those bottom clubs will prefer to take a chance of neutral venues....

This was my fear, this is why I had my doubts on them restarting. Once they scrap the season the rest will follow as they are using Bundesliga as an example.

I guess that the teams would need to vote on how to end the season if this doesn’t pass so maybe can’t say. If the option was that positions stand as they are with relegation etc. those teams in the bottom three would change their vote for a chance to save themselves.

Turkeys are not going to vote for Christmas, so the bottom 3 will vote for whatever keeps then in the PL and saying anything else is unfair, like wrapping up the season now and taking places as they are now, this is why they have been saying they want no relegation from the PL this season, lots of vested interests in this

Some of the top 6 would also vote against wrapping up the season with positions as is, as the likes of Man Utd/Wolves/Sheff Utd/Spur are slugging it out for CL/Europa places, which they will see as unfair if they miss out on.

But why complain about neutral venues? It’s the same for everyone then and it’s not like these teams have set their home grounds alight so far this season is it.

It’s just a cynical way for teams who deserve to be relegated to ride the cash cow for another season. If they get their way and manage to stay up by the back door then if they go down next season they should forfeit any parachute payments.

If there is no agreement this week I can see the average points system being applied and teams awarded titles along with promotion and relegation taking place. League One and League Two are already looking like going that way.

Too many teams saying how unfair it is playing at neutral grounds and players like Aguero saying they are too scared to play. Well if they are too scared lets hope their teams don't force them to play. I also hope Aguero has ripped Kyle Walker a new one for breaking social distancing rules twice.
