The EFL has moved to clear up any confusion surrounding their latest statement - and outline what happens next for Coventry City.

The League has put forward its plan for how to decide the outcome of the Sky Blues' season if it cannot be finished.

That includes a points-per-game system to determine the final table, a four-team play-off and relegation and automatic promotion staying as normal.

Approval of that plan will be written into the EFL's regulation for good, preventing any clubs from complaining or launching legal action in the future.

Clubs entering the EFL will have to sign up to these rules when registering this season and that plan will be voted on by all 71 clubs in the League's three divisions with a majority of 51 per cent needed (36 teams).

The plan will also need the approval of 51 per cent of Championship teams (13 teams) to be approved, as the Championship carries more weight here than any other division, a spokesperson told Coventry Live.

If the outcome of the vote is no, then talks will continue, but if close yes, then individual leagues will then be able to call a vote on whether to end their own division in the event such as the current pandemic.

That vote would also need a 51 per cent majority to pass, so clubs like Coventry now face two votes to decide if they will play their remaining games this season.

Both votes are set to be carried out next week and need a 51 per cent majority in both, along with a Championship majority in the first one to see the motions passed.

Failing that, clubs such as the Sky Blues in League One will be asked to play on and try to gain promotion on the pitch behind closed doors.

Coventry are currently five points clear at the top of the League One table with 10 games to play.

Mark Robins' men have a seven-point cushion inside the automatic promotion zone, with a game in hand on many of their closest rivals.
