They are in a promotion position how much is the play off final said to be worth. I’ve read somewhere no team should find themselves in a worse position. The most sensible solution seems to be no relegation and two sides promoted and a bigger league in the short term more TV games.

If we do down by any artificial means I hope we have very good lawyers
