And quite rightly so, nothing is mathematically certain so any decision on promoting or relegating teams is flawed.

Not sure any of the effected clubs will have the clout to do anything other than moan

[JonB]

I think part of Harrogates complaint will be they have Barrow to play which PPG wont take into account. This said normally two are promoted so would they promote the top two with no scope for playoffs to be played? Will the EFL accept two clubs when they could effectively take Barrow without having to relegate anyone on their part to cover the spot left by Bury.

Be interesting to see what clubs and where kick up a fuss over things. Whatever solution is taken a club is going to be put out someway or another so we'll see who can do a Partick was it and just take it on the chin and get on with things. Football will have been delayed enough without clubs delaying things with legal action to get their own way.

I think Partick have done the decent thing and come to terms with the fact that appointing Caldwell justly results in relegation.

So I guess this latest Conference decision means we are safe from demotion into regional football?

Well if they decide on anonymous committee sitting in a dark room dreaming up scenarios or predicting results as some on here want we won’t be safe. Thankfully the chance of that is 0%

At least we can release loads of players and dig the pitch up.

Two of our better players, Buchanan especially. He will be 34 soon but may well be worth another year... I suppose it’s difficult to offer anyone terms at the moment, though.

I thought Buchanan had another year? If so it would be interesting if he’s going.

I did too, maybe we didn't exercise an option or a deal has been done.

I expect he'd be a relatively high earner

It would be a shame if he was to go, he was consistently one of our best players once he got over the fitness problem earlier in the season. The understanding was that he'd signed on a two year deal.

One of the few with any energy

[Siberian Spireite]

Buchanan’s tweet doesn’t necessarily indicate that he is leaving. He mentions ‘growing together ’ which suggests he may stay.

[moondog]

I'm told the retained list has been sorted

I expect as we now know their services won't be needed players are in the process of being told

Yes, Jalal seemed to be saying goodbye, not so sure about Buchanan’s tweet

Notts County statement, they live in hope there will still be some sort of play offs

Be interesting to see if Jalal calls it a day or carries on elsewhere.

Retirement for Jalal presumably.

They're living in cloud cuckoo land if they think that's going to happen.

Buchanan is a good player.
