I'm not sure democracy and freedom is being eroded if everyone has a say.The interesting facet to all of this discussion about using the courts is that this is another example of a very few individuals (barristers and judges) being given the "rights" to decide how our game ends the season. Why should that be? How is that the way forward? Are they fans? Do they even know the offside rule?
We are moving to a situation where so many aspects of our lives are being governed by judges and courts instead of people talking and coming to comprimises. I do wonder where this will end and instead of "justice" whether this is in reality a further erosion of democracy and freedom in this country.
But what happens then is one bunch want the season to continue: probably, clubs likely to win something; ie promotion; and sides with most to lose: (us) - saying the opposite.
Stalemate.
So who makes the final decision?
The FA and the EFL, of course. And yeah, whether one likes it or not they need to make sure their legal footing is firm and not a quicksand of law suits!
