If Plymouth go into administration this week and don't survive beyond the end of the season, will only two teams be relegated from the Championship?

Not that it looks likely we would even manage to survive above Scunthorpe...

no 4 will go down including plymouth and division 4 will play with 23 teams i expect if Plymouth don't survive.

We'll end in bottom 2 anyways,

More likely extra promotions

No, the 'if' is whether they go out of existence - not whether they go into administration. Going into administration doesn't affect the number of clubs in the division.

Anyway, you can be sure that rule 47(i) paragraph G applies:

"In the event of difficulties or irregularities of financial or any other kind affecting a Football League member such that they are unable to complete the season or in any other way forfeit their member status, Sheffield United F.C. are not to benefit in any way"

Very good.
