Managers to issue blow to EFL as Nottingham Forest prepare for restart

The League Managers Association is set to deliver a vote of no confidence in the EFL following a number of complaints from club bosses, reports state.

Nottingham Forest and their rivals are scheduled to resume on June 20 but there are still significant issues to iron out, while the League One campaign hangs in the balance and League Two clubs have already voted to curtail the season.

The Daily Mail reports that there are a growing number of concerns over the EFL’s handling of matters, including the coronavirus crisis, and the LMA have held video conference calls with members in recent weeks where grievances about the EFL have been raised.

Numerous complaints are said to centre around the June 20 return date for the Championship’s planned restart but other issues have been raised, with LMA chiefs considering contacting the EFL to formally detail the negative feedback.

The EFL’s planned resumption in two weeks' time has already attracted vast controversy, with Queens Park Rangers issuing a statement condemning the decision and stating that they had not been consulted prior to the decision.

In the lower divisions, the proposal to use a points-per-game system to decide the final standings has also proved to be contentious, leading to a number of alternative solutions being raised this week.

A vote around each of the end of season proposals is set to take place on Tuesday but, even if a protocol is agreed, there is likely to still be backlash from a number of clubs due to the significant impact any decision will have.
