The future of League One has been delayed once again after meetings on Wednesday resulted in yet more deadlock.

While some clubs are in favour of ending the season without playing the remaining games, others want to see it played out as they battle for promotion or to avoid relegation. League Two clubs are already in favour of ending the season.

Last week, the EFL confirmed promotion and relegation would still go ahead irrespective of how the teams choose to end the season. Clubs have until Monday June 2 to submit any potential changes to the EFL's proposed regulations, with another meeting on Monday June 8 to 'consider and, if thought fit, approve' any changes.

Dons Executive Director Andrew Cullen last weekend said the club would be voting along with the majority.An EFL statement read: "A decision on whether or not to curtail the season is a matter to be considered by Clubs in any affected division, but only once a framework for resolving open issues in such circumstances has been agreed by all members across all divisions through a Regulation change.

"The EFL Articles allow Member Clubs the opportunity to propose amendments to Regulations and should any Club wish to propose an alternative, it must do so by submitting such a proposal by no later than 2.00pm on Tuesday 2 June 2020.

"The EFL will issue any notice of meeting later that day. Any such Club proposals will be considered at the same meeting as the Board’s proposal."
