Graham Clark":t82ol2kh said:This is the Tranmere proposal to be voted on by the 71 EFL clubs next Tuesday.
"a) The league table is calculated using a simple PPG basis;
b) There is then applied to the table the statistical average actual margin for error over the last 3 years (being +6.3 or – 5.45%);
c) Teams in the automatic promotion spots even where the margin for error is applied, should be automatically promoted;
d) Teams in the play-off places or who could be in the play-off places where the margin for error is applied should be invited (but not compelled) to compete in a play-off tournament; and
e) There would either be no relegations, or relegations only of clubs who would be relegated even after the margin of error has been applied "
It would mean ONLY Coventry City and Swindon Town would be promoted from their respective Leagues. Funnily enough, Tranmere would stay up.
This contrivance of a proposal would mean Argyle and Crewe could end up in some sort of play-off. Assuming the Championship vote to play out their season then I believe it is down to Leagues 1 and 2 to vote by majority on the proposal, presumably on a League by League basis. Hopefully, it will not attract the necessary support.

That's not how I read it; teams in the auto places will still go up no matter what happens with the margin of error. The margin of error will be applied for the play-off places & in some circumstances relegation.

A simple solution would be to base the final table on the first half of the season, Only include the results of the fixture rounds where clubs played each other for the first time and abandon only the second half of the season. There would be a slight disparity in that half the clubs will have played one game less at home but in sporting terms it would be relatively even.
I have no idea how this would affect the standings because it isn't as simple as using the table as it was at 23 games.
It's just an idea but probably a bit late to throw into the ring at this stage.
