Last paragraph from that article...

If the season is cancelled a major issue for the EFL to resolve will be promotion and relegation. Relegation could be scrapped and one scenario put forward is promoting teams based on sporting merit.

What does that actually mean?

They've been the nicest and most sporting team?!

How could you possibly promote teams but not relegate anyone?

How? Pompey Penguin very clearly laid out this one way of approaching this very scenario a few days ago.

Wow, Wycombe won't be happy with that outcome

Not looking good for any more football in the 2019-20 season for L1 and L2 clubs according to the BBC.

I cant see that they can finish any of the leagues for this season. You can not play football and social distance st the same time.
Germany and Italy have gone back to training and already have new cases amongst players.
Bite the bullet and write off the season
