Wait goes on for Blackpool and Fleetwood as pivotal League One vote is hit by MORE delays

It had originally been expected that clubs would take part in a vote on Monday next week on how the 2019/20 campaign should be completed.

But the EFL, in a latest update issued today, say a further meeting will now be held on Monday, June 8.

The EFL has proposed that if clubs decide not to complete their league fixtures, final tables should be based on unweighted points-per-game averages, with promotion (including play-offs) and relegation taking place.

However, it's understood clubs in the third tier are unable to reach a consensus.

Clubs now have until next Tuesday to submit any further proposals.

It’s widely believed a majority of League One clubs would vote to end the season early.

A 51 per cent voting majority, 12 clubs in the case of League One, is required to pass any decision on the fate of the season.

The EFL said in a statement: "At its meeting on Wednesday, having carefully considered submissions from clubs, the EFL board agreed to progress with the proposed framework it outlined in respect of changes to EFL regulations in the event season 2019/20 is curtailed in any division.

"At the same time as advising on its proposed approach last week, the board had asked clubs to give it appropriate consideration and provide any feedback.

"Communications were submitted from clubs across all divisions and those proposals, some of which have been made available publicly, suggested how the framework in the event the season is ended prematurely could alternatively work.

"The board has to date been consistent in its approach that playing out the remainder of season 2019/20 when it is safe to do so, is the preferred position and whilst the Championship have advised of their intentions to resume fixtures, League Two clubs have indicated their preference to curtail the season.

"At present clubs in League One are still undecided.

"A decision on whether or not to curtail the season is a matter to be considered by clubs in any affected division, but only once a framework for resolving open issues in such circumstances has been agreed by all members across all divisions through a regulation change.

"After a full and comprehensive review of the club submissions, alongside consideration of views stated at the club meetings, the board unanimously agreed to continue with the original approach and is now proposing to call a meeting of clubs on Monday, June 8 to consider and, if thought fit, approve the proposals to introduce the regulation change.

"The EFL articles allow member clubs the opportunity to propose amendments to regulations and should any club wish to propose an alternative, it must do so by submitting such a proposal by no later than 2pm on Tuesday, June 2.

"The EFL will issue any notice of meeting later that day. Any such club proposals will be considered at the same meeting as the board’s proposal."
