That probably means we are still O.K. to start.

Well...what a surprise.
You’d have guessed it before it was announced, but wouldn’t think they’d do it on purpose...
....well, sometimes desperate people do desperate things
...but I may be wrong 🤷♂️😳
Might not even be players.
It's not now that's the issue so much, or individual players to be honest, clubs have to put up with "injuries" at all points of the season.
But what would happen if games were on and a couple of managers got hit.
That would probably be more of a dilemma
If this removes the remaining obstacles I could go for this:
___
Millwall propose three promoted Championship sides cover coronavirus testing costs for EVERY other team in the league... which would cost them just a fraction of Premier League windfall at £1.4m each
Millwall have written to their fellow Championship clubs proposing the promoted sides foot the bill for coronavirus testing in an incentive they hope will remove one of the obstacles to resuming the season.
Play-off chasing Millwall have made the suggestion in the hope of getting more clubs to support the idea of completing the campaign with talks ongoing over the issue.
Millwall, who are eighth and two points outside the top six, are among the clubs keen to get the season back underway and would be more than happy to contribute to the costs of testing for the other 21 clubs if they end the season as one of the three promoted clubs.

Tell them Leeds and Albion will cover 15% each and the "probably won't have to pay hopefuls" can cover the rest.
Looks pretty certain the Championship season will continue now.
I’m definitely happy this is the case and much prefer it to being promoted via ppg.
To be fair its the first positive result Hull have had for months.

reminds me of just before the lockdown, was talking a guy who was the spit of Patrick Bamford, a hull fan.. we'd just smashed them all over the place and he was doing that "you are a wonderful team" through his gritted teeth..
I loved it like Keegan
Tranmere's proposal for ending the season in the fairest (Tranmere not getting relegated) way.
Well I assume a 3 year statistical margin for error would keep them up, it's far too complicated for me to work out.

Tranmere have posted up revised tables based on their system. For champ Leeds and WBA promoted and 11 (?) teams in the playoffs. In league 1 the teams below Tranmere get relegated but Tranmere don't.
Desperate stuff.
https://www.tranmererovers.co.uk/siteassets/news/ppg-tables.pdf
Sorry but surely that will be tossed out pretty much straight away.
What has three years got to do with anything.
Previous season results or point averages have no bearing on the current campaign.
I don't see how they wouldnt think they would be anything other than a laughing stock for this.
Yeah, I wasn't suggesting other clubs are going to take it seriously.

Never thought you were... I cant imagine you would be dumb enough to take something like this serious.
Jesus wept this is an awful, awful proposition...
Following the latest round of COVID-19 testing, the EFL can confirm that 1030 players and Club staff have been tested over the course of Monday 25, Tuesday 26 and Wednesday 27 May, with three individuals testing positive from two Clubs.
Those players or Club staff who have tested positive will now self-isolate in line with the guidelines provided by the EFL and only those who have tested negative will be permitted to enter training ground facilities.
The EFL will continue to make regular and relevant announcements as appropriate in respect of the testing programme to support competition integrity and transparency.
No specific details as to Clubs or individuals will be provided by the League.

@FulhamFC
After the second round of league-wide testing for COVID-19 by Fulham players and staff, we can confirm that two players have tested positive for Coronavirus. #FFC
The other positive is Elliott Bennett at Blackburn:
_____
"I feel fit and healthy," Bennett told the club's website. "Hopefully this sends out a positive message to the community that perhaps many people have or have had the virus without showing any effects.
"I obviously would never have known if we hadn't returned to training and taken the tests, because I don't feel unwell and have got no symptoms whatsoever.
"There seems to have been a lot of hysteria about footballers returning to training, but it's not a big deal at all. It's the people who are seriously ill in hospital that we need to worry about, not footballers who are fit and healthy, and who aren't showing any signs of being unwell."
