We will start with the National League lower level.
From York to Bradford: The National League North
There are many teams here but York are at the top and Bradford Park Avenue are at the bottom. The playoff places are filled by Spennymoor in the north, Brackley in the south, Kings Lynn Town and Boston United in the east and Altrincham and Chester in the west. Sadly we will not see the playoffs take place this year and I gather there is unlikely to be any promotion or relegation now. Strange times.
Oxford and Tonbridge Angels: The National League South
Wealdstone sit at the top and will be the unlucky recipients of a lack or promotion. The lucky recipients of a lack of relegation will be Hungerford Town. The lack of playoff matches apply to Havant & Waterlooville, Weymouth, Bath City, Slough Town, Dartford and Dorking Wanderers. I have followed Concord Rangers for a long time and noted their progress under Danny Cowley. Braintree Town overperformed when he took over there and they had great success for a part time club.
From Wrexham to Dover: The National League
Barrow sit at the top and wait to be robbed of their place in the Football League although the Bury situation may mean that they are promoted anyway. There is talk that the Football League matches will be played to completion and then we will see the promotions and relegations that make the whole process worthwhile. If Barrow then gain promotion with no Football League club coming down to replace them then there will be adjustments down or a deal to be done with Bury Football Club.
The Crewe are in Stevenage: Football League Two
The automatic promotion places are occupied by Crewe Alexandra, Swindon Town and Plymouth Argyle. The playoff places contain Exeter City, Cheltenham Town, Colchester United and Northampton Town. With Bury being thrown out of the league the only team in relegation danger is Stevenage. Salford City are safely in the middle of the table at the end of their first season in the Football League.
Bury are sent to Coventry: Football League One
Bury are shown at the bottom of the table as an expelled club. The relegation zone contains Tranmere Rovers and Southend United (it must be the Friday night curse) and Bolton Wanderers. Coventry City and Rotherham United are in the automatic promotion slots and the playoff places are occupied by Oxford United, Portsmouth, Fleetwood Town and Peterborough United. Sunderland sit just outside the playoffs so will probably have to remain at this level for another season.
Guess who Leeds?: Football Championship
Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion are sat in the automatic promotion places and are followed by playoff contenders Fulham and Brentford with Nottingham Forest and Preston North End. The relegation chasers are Charlton Athletic, Luton Town and Barnsley. In the middle of the table are a whole raft of teams that have Premier League experience. The money needed at Premier League level is now such that any team gaining promotion needs to learn fast and stay up once they reach that level.
The Money Tree: Premier League
Liverpool have won the league by a mile .... unless this season is declared null and void which would be massively entertaining for fans of all the other clubs but a nightmare for the Liverpool fans. The relegated clubs would be Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Norwich City if things remain as they stand. Tottenham and Arsenal sit just outside the European places so they would be the losers if nothing moves and Sheffield United with Wolverhampton Wanderers would be the beneficiaries. Leicester City have now earned their place as one of the top clubs in the country.
