I watched his interview, but can’t figure out the reasoning behind the suggestion that there should be no relegation. Anyone able to explain it to me?

He clearly had no idea either. Feel for him as someone's announced this then threw him to the media.

Their logic is that last season the EFL persuaded clubs to accept promotion and relegation as it would keep the integrity of the sport, however as National North and South cancelled the season no-one is getting relegated (not even Dover who have also decided not to play).

Therefore being relegated to a league where, as Grimsby and Southend see it, has lost its integrity it'll be against what the EFL said last season.

It's just embarrassing, reading social media even their own fans (bar one or two) are ashamed to be supporting their clubs over this.
