It is understood, as of this morning, members have yet to receive the ballot papers required to register their preference for deciding the season.

They were expected to be sent out last night, after the Football League had set a 2pm deadline for fresh proposals to be submitted.

However, the papers were not distributed, leaving clubs this morning unable to vote.

Pompey chief executive Mark Catlin had previously pinpointed Monday as D-Day for League One, potentially ending all wrangling over how to finish the campaign.

That now remains to be seen following the latest delay.

At it stands, clubs have the option whether to fulfil the remaining League One fixtures – or focus solely on a four-team play-off campaign.
