Today’s League One meeting to decide the outcome of the current season ended without a definitive agreement between the clubs.

As a result, all 23 clubs will reschedule a meeting for next week in the hope of finding an outcome for the season.

The meeting took place at 9.30 this morning. Oxford United, along with six other League One clubs, all opposed ending the season now on weighted points per game (PPG) basis, despite that outcome ending in the U’s securing promotion.

All teams were from the top half of the table, from the U’s in third to Ipswich Town in tenth.

Despite some U’s players returning to the clubs training ground for individual training regimes, the EFL have said team training can’t resume until May 25.

As a result, Rochdale chief executive David Bottomley said his club were firmly behind the EFL collective and would abide by the majority decision, but are in favour of ending the season now.

Meanwhile, EFL chairman Rick Parry told the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee last week that for many clubs, playing behind closed doors would actually cost them money.
