They still won through the playoffs so perhaps travesty is too harsh a word. 'Richly benefited from the EFLs decision' perhaps better suits. I still think that having received that fortunate benefit, its a bit rich of them to be grizzling about going back down having gleaned just 43 points from...

Tell that to Peterborough, nudged out of 6th spot by a calculator (they'd also dry-humped Wycombe 4-0 just a few weeks prior, and had taken 4 points off them overall that season). Derby deserved to go down, Wycombe hadn't deserved to go up is how I view it.

Yes Derby cheated, but we'll have to agree to disagree re Wycombe. I don't think Wycombe were promoted fair and square at all, it was a travesty IMO to send them from 8th place up to 3rd, with a quarter of the season left unplayed.

Yes, within 3 points of Wimbledon with a game in hand having won their previous 3 (Wimbledon were - of course - amongst the clubs who gratefully voted to end the season right there and then, they also still had Tranmere to come). The PPG calculation even involved there being more than 3 points...

There was clearly no ideal way, but Wycombe were the big winners (and Tranmere the big losers, slipping down into the bottom 3 under Wimbledon to get relegated). Appalling. Wycombe lucked out. They should be grateful they got a season in a division above, despite not properly earning it.

Its not disingenous at all. Wycombe were propelled into the Playoffs with a quarter of the season left to play: Please don't tell me having a game in hand (that was never played) should be a major factor in this. They stole into the playoffs via some herbert with a calculator, despite a...

Wycombe were EXTREMELY fortunate to get their season in the Championship - they benefited from the 2019/20 L1 season ending a dozen or so games early, with their "calculated projected points" (from games that were never played) catapulting them from midtable up into to 3rd place, above FIVE...
