I think you'd find it hard to find a L2 club who isn't in danger of going under if something isn't sorted, maybe not by September some before/some after.

I can see all our club staff being made redundant with little chance of a payout and administration to save the club . A season of hibernation for all lower league football until crowds are allowed back in .

There’s probably only about 6 clubs from championship down who might be able to see out a few more months with no or very little income, without chairman,directors or fans putting money in. We might be “ a well run club” but that’s during normal service, now like everybody we are starting to feel the pinch.

As I said, a man who likes the sound of his own face has had very little opportunity to speak the last few weeks...football is further up the agenda again so he reappears...with somewhat contradictory, frankly odd comments...

I assume we would also be debt free at last !!!

Quoted from grimsby pete


He already put his hand in his pocket by the tune of 100.000 quid.


Fenty put his hand in his pocket for millions and still gets a bollocking. Maybe Holloway should forego his wages he can afford it and it might save some backroom jobs

Its all very well for him to go on Sky with a 'we'll go bust' if football (with crowds) doesn't start soon' drama interview on one day and say how lives are much more important than restarting football the next.

I don't recall who it was but someone observed that football clubs survived WWI and 2 and will do it again. Perhaps everyone should go into administration and all start with the same minus points tally

Really think Premier League clubs/players should be doing something to help clubs lower down the league.

A week of PL wages could tide a club like us over for a month or more...

Football needs to come together as a whole right now, for the future of the beautiful game.

There's at least 10 clubs in our division that would go bust before us as a result of lockdown and that's being conservative, I reckon.

Well run club, best run club he’s ever been at. Apparently.

I’d imagine this is simply a sound bite from a man who loves the sound of his own voice.


And its the usual suspects who love the sound of their own negativity. It's what they get off on!
