Scotland have ended their season

Thats a terrible precedent for us. 

The big difference between us and Hearts is that our owners have deep pockets.  Hearts are skint.  Protracted litigation with us and two other clubs wouldn't be the outcome the league wants.

The big factor is the game in hand that we hold. Perhaps a one-off game against Sheffield United could be arranged? Then apply the PPG rule. 3 points would see us safe?

League 2 in England not relegating anyone is a better and more relevant precedent for us.

Sadly I don’t see that due to the Bury situation. If we do not get to restart we will be relegated.

Not if the Championship doesn't start either

What about our game in hand? It would be a tad unfair to be relegated for playing at Wembley??

If project restart doesn’t happen they will have to draw the line somewhere and we will be gone.

I also think they will go with PPG.

For me it's hard to justify relegating teams who hadn't earned relegation over a full season and replace them with teams who havent earned propotion over a full season.  But I think that's what they'll try to do. 

Losing our once in a generation player because of that would be so tough to take.  But I guess Leeds fans will be saying the same thing about Kalvin Phillips.

I am so disappointed in football. It's a joke.

I don’t think they will relegate us on PPG if the season doesn’t restart.

I absolutely expect it, why wouldn’t you. The other divisions will go down that route.

It's hard to know what the Prem will decide given all the different approaches adopted thus far. However, looks like playing is our only guarantee of getting out of it. I am still sceptical how we will manage to get through 10 games without any problems but let's see. Need to hit the ground running to boost that PPG!

For all sorts of reasons, but litigation from 3 clubs would be the main one.

No guarantee that Litigation will be successful, I think the PL would win based on the information available.
