If the National League is abandoned in the next week it will distort the end of the L2 season. I imagine plenty of L2 clubs not in the promotion battle will cut their squad to the bare bones for the rest of the season safe in the knowledge they can't go down. Will totally distort who will finish in the bottom 2.

That was our approach to the final 46 games of 08/09

Was thinking the same and maybe that is why there doesn't seem to be a lot of transfers going on, and those that are seem predominantly to be loans.

Of course we have grants and not loans as they do in the NL, so not as badly off in that regard.

I mean if Scunthorpe finish bottom and stay up we'd never let them forget it, but I wouldn't count it as a real bottom finish.

If we stay up by any means, I don't care where Scunny finish.

Also opens the door for some league clubs (like ourselves) getting some of the leagues top talent at a reduced price.

Whilst I will take whatever way possible to stay out of that excrement show of a league, all options look like they will be to the detriment of the game as a whole.

i had been wondering what Hurst in particular, and other Div 2 managers in general, might do, if the National league was suspended tomorrow.
Would you be able to ,say, furlough the best paid players and then play the youngsters until the season's end? Doing that you'd save a shedload of money and give the youngsters the opportunity and experience to try and win a first team place for 21-22.
Alternatively would you just soldier on with the present bunch, so saving yourself having to make 'firefighting' signings and give you a chance to work on bringing in long term targets in the summer?
or would you go 'for broke' by splashing a bit of cash and trying to bring some players in now who would then be able to hit the ground running in August?

I don't see how you can furlough a professional footballer under contract. Furlough is an alternative to redundancy but we can't make them redundant as they have a fixed term contract. I think you'd be inviting considerable scrutiny if you furloughed all your senior pros and played the kids.
