Here's an interesting point that was made by someone on the Southend United mailing list.
It has been suggested that the compromise made by the Premiership over the Tevez affair would be to allow Sheffield United and West Ham to stay in the Premiership, making a 21 team league affair next week.
If this happened, the knock on effect could be that Southend are "saved" from their relegation, in order to keep the Championship at 24.
It's probably wishful thinking, but given that Leeds deliberately went into administration before the end of this season so their ten point penalty didn't affect their League 1 campaign, it would be tempting for the League authorities to say to the Blues to stay up. With my Man United hat on - great news. With my Southend hat, better news.

None too keen on handling a lifeline to the Blades, but what's good for Essex is good for me. I'm an exile.
