and equally clubs that could have actually got out of the relegation.

And as I say, if you stand back and look at it as a football person, you look at form and everything else that goes on, it does actually paint the same picture as that.

But the reality is that...

you know, this was a financially based decision to stop playing the league.

Let's not kid ourselves on that.

It's a financially based decision.

And actually what you're doing is you're severely damaging clubs when you relegate them.

And everybody would agree it's far more harsh to be given or stop given the chance to avoid relegation than it is to stop being given the chance to be in the playoffs.

So that's the background to it.

And one thing I would say is, as regards to championship clubs, our proposal makes no difference to them.

They can do whatever they want to do.

They can select PPG if they want to as a fallback if they don't play out the season.

And equally, the League Two clubs, what I tried to do was to respect their decision in that meeting that they have.

And they can select PPG if they want to select it.

All I'm saying is, in the division where the real...

fault line is, you might want to look at MFE.

And that's what I'd have to try and do, persuade those guys to vote for MFE.

I have done in the sense that I think I've covered that off in the way that we deal with it.

Because what I did, Don, was to actually look at the reality.

And that's what I've done.
