Championship to restart on 6 June?
According to this:
https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/...f-wba-18247659
The Championship is aiming to get back under way on June 6, according to reports.
EFL bosses were meeting today to thrash out when and how the league would resume, while also discussing the implementation of a wage cap.
The Mirror report that the second tier could be in action before the Premier League, which is aiming for a June 12 restart.
Leagues one and two are set to be decided on a points-per-game basis - although the play-offs are set to remain.
The EFL will take part in talks with the UK government, Premier League and Professional Footballers’ Association on Thursday to try and get the green light.
Games, the Mirror report, will take place behind closed doors, at the clubs' own stadiums.
Further clarity will be needed in Wales, though. At the moment, there is confusion over whether Cardiff City or Swansea City will be allowed to resume matches under the terms of the current lockdown rules in Wales, with public health decisions devolved. Both clubs are aware of the issue and have sought further explanations from the Welsh government.
If they are given the all clear it will a huge boost for Cardiff and Swansea, who still have hopes of the play-offs and promotion.

The EFL say clubs will not return to training until May 25 'at the earliest'.
Reports surfaced earlier today suggesting the Championship could begin playing again as early as June 6.
However, that now seems highly unlikely with the EFL confirming to its clubs there should be no return to training until at least May 25.
A statement following Wednesday's meeting with clubs read: "The EFL is mindful of the pressing need for clarity in a number of areas, including the practicalities and timeframes of Clubs being able to facilitate a return to training. "To address this, Clubs have today been issued with the latest draft of the EFL’s ‘Return to Training Protocols’, so that they can prepare appropriately.
"However, until all outstanding matters are concluded, including finalising a comprehensive testing programme on matchdays and non-matchdays, the EFL Board has informed its Clubs that a return to training should not take place until 25 May at the earliest.
"Dialogue continues with our colleagues across the footballing and political landscape regarding these and other issues, and the EFL is committed to keeping all relevant parties updated on key decisions and developments as they occur."
Further clarity will be needed in Wales, though. At the moment, there is confusion over whether Cardiff City or Swansea City will be allowed to resume matches under the terms of the current lockdown rules in Wales, with public health decisions devolved. Both clubs are aware of the issue and have sought further explanations from the Welsh government.
As part of the ongoing discussions, the EFL say solutions must be sought to fix financial issues arising from the coronavirus pandemic.
And they warned returning behind closed doors would not 'simply' rectify those financial challenges.
"Current attention is clearly on the immediate next steps, but the long-term impact on the League and its Clubs remains as stark as previously outlined, and solutions are still required to fill the financial hole left by the crisis," the statement added.
"The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic will not be rectified simply by a return to play behind closed doors."

Exactly, Drakeford is a world leader, statesman and man of the people compared to the selfish, don’t really give a f*ck about the masses joke of a PM.

By the way, their "spikes" are barely reaching 1000 new cases a day. Interesting to see how Merkel responds to 900 new cases (i.e. tightening/reviewing restrictions), and how we are responding with four times as many cases, and 5-8 times more deaths (i.e. loosening restrictions)

He is saying Johnson makes Drakeford look statesmanlike. See all those Londoners crammed onto buses and trains the last couple of days? Is that happening in Cardiff?
