Both games solutions were compared and it was shown that both yield very similar results, having a very small relative error.
The rather sinister sounding "whole game solution" is a manifestation of that desire to be at the centre of the debate, he said.
"In order for the whole game solution to be viable, it required the English football authorities to look collectively at the fixture schedules and create additional weekends for League football.
A statement released by the EFL on Wednesday claimed that talks over the so-called whole game solution had stalled over the Football Association's refusal to move FA Cup matches to midweek.
"As a result of the FA's decision, the board has been left with no option but to end the whole game solution discussions as, in its current form, it is no longer viable," he said.
The whole game solution and, to a lesser extent, the EFL Trophy are examples of that," says Lenagan, who grew with up rugby league in Wigan but forged his love of football standing on the Kop as a student in Liverpool in the late 1960s and has decades of experience in the grassroots game, and as a club owner to draw on.
The EFL had said at the start of the season it was taking the initiative by proposing a so-called Whole Game Solution that would involve the expansion of the league to take in eight new clubs and a reorganisation into four divisions of 20 teams.
"We need to properly represent the supporter movement on all aspects of the Whole Game Solution," he says, referring to the debate that has been kicked off by the Football League about radical changes that could see 80 teams in the EFL and a winter break introduced.
"The EFL board has today announced that they will cease discussions on the whole game solution with immediate effect after the Football Association informed them they were no longer prepared to consider rescheduling FA Cup fixtures into midweek slots," read the statement.
Therefore, it is a relevant practical game solution.
