EFL vote to keep promotion and relegation

EFL clubs have voted "overwhelmingly" to retain promotion, relegation and play-offs if the season is curtailed.

An unweighted points-per-game system will be used to determine the final table if the season is cut short.

The model was the one set out by the EFL's board, and following a vote by all 71 clubs the decision was taken to adopt it into the competition's regulations at a meeting on Tuesday.

Leagues One and Two will vote later today on whether to curtail the 2019-20 season using the agreed model.

The Championship is set to play on, with the competition due to restart on June 20.
