A coin flip has been used before. Maybe not in the football league but I think in UEFA or FIFA qualifying. It's an alternative to the biggest bribe option.

It was done in the old Inter-City Fairs Cup (before it became the UEFA Cup) in 1966. Chelsea played AC Milan, won the home leg 2-1, and lost away 1-2. A replay was set up which ended 1-1. Chelsea then won the toss of a coin to decide who went through to the next round.

Or swap some of the results (i.e. either ours in each week, or Burnley's results in each week), or add a consistent number of goals to each of our figures. Pretty unlikely, not impossible.

Thanks for that! Agree, those results are unlikely but also not wildly so. Could be interesting.

On these results Burnley and ourselves would overtake Boro in any case.

We should go up as our manager doesn't have ginger hair.

You are quite right.

Preston 4-1 Burnley
Charlton 0-1 Brighton

Brighton 3-0 Derby
Burnley 3-2 QPR

Middlesbrough 2-1 Brighton
Charlton 0-1 Burnley

...would do the job. (I'm assuming it's more likely that Preston thrash Burnley than Charlton...)

Is there a permutation that would see all 3 clubs finish the same?

Hypothetically it would make no difference.

That's the Operations Centre. Is it also the Head office too? I though HO was in London - perhaps not?

No. Maybe on points & goals (I haven't worked it out), but not on number of wins.

So we finish on the same points as Burnley, same goal difference , same goals scored and identical head to head then I presume that there be would a play off match with the winners going up and the losers going to play in the play offs.

That would take some arranging and would mess every other planned fixture up too.
