My response was poorly worded. But basically this. Again - there is a lot of moaning by clubs about things but really it is up to them, their CEOs/Chairmans to sort it out. Same with how many you can have out with COVID etc. This stuff should have been sorted out in the summer (you know - when...

Exactly - so it is all a bit silly really and goes against the integrity of the league.

I'd be interested to know Ralphs views on a certain League One team in 2010 who had a few games postponed for weather + because of a cup run and managed sign Do Prado & Forte in a January window who then played in some re-arranged fixtures ??? They then went on to get promoted as 2nd in League One

I'm specifically referring to Ralphs point. Like I say it is stupid - he knows how the PL works, he bought it up at a managers meeting. The PL can change any rule if 14 / 20 clubs vote for it.

And Ralph knows full well how the PL works and changing rules etc. He even said it came up at a managers meeting and presumably didn't have enough support to go to a proper vote or whatever so he's run to the press. You can't just keep making big rule changes like this as and when.

Why though? What if different players are injured, what if the weather is worse etc... What if players are now at AFCON? This has only come up now - because it is Newcastle. I don't recall this ever coming up before.

It is a stupid point. What if Newcastle sell 5 players? Do they need to go back to Newcastle and play the game to ?
