It will cost the government more to furlough the staff including players than it would to continue. I wouldn't bank on a u-turn not happening

Quoted from GollyGTFC


I don't think that's necessarily 100% accurate. I think most clubs are awaiting developments and actively lobbying their local MPs, but resigned to stopping unless the government u-turns and gives them grants rather than loans.

That's because North & South teams (43 in total) will never vote for the league taking the loan & distributing to clubs as grants. They overwhelmingly want to stop for safety reasons & to protect future income. Even if all 23 National League teams wanted that option they will not get the required majority of the 66 member clubs to make it happen.

That leaves 2 options for the 23 National League teams. Take the government loan themselves (non-starter) or suspend the season. Faced with that choice the majority will vote to suspend the season.

In reality there are 2 options: Government u-turn or National League suspended (abandoned).


Quoted from GollyGTFC


But like I said, that won't happen because the North & South clubs will out vote the National League clubs. The league taking a loan is a decision for the entire league (66 clubs), not just the 23 in the top division. The other 43 aren't going to vote for reduced income for 10 years when they overwhelmingly want to stop.


This guy talks a lot of sense. Seems to have nailed it.

I think what you say makes sense. The problem is they don't always act in a way that makes sense. All the leagues were abandoned in March because it wasn't viable to play without crowds and there was a pandemic in full swing. In September nothing had changed but everyone started up again anyway.

All the ex-league teams in the NL are understandably very keen to have a shot of going up this year. They will push for any way to complete the season - even if "complete" doesn't necessarily mean that they play everyone twice.

If only the Government had a history of u-turns, they would have some hope.  

After years of waiting for a new, forward thinking board, we will probably see the National League come to a conclusion, and us relegated, to be replaced by Notts County as the final ignominy of the Fenty era.

No. The league stopped because it wasn't safe. When protocols had been worked out and agreed and adjustments had been made to club training grounds and stadia (changing rooms etc...) the leagues recommenced.

If the PL could have just carried on in March with no crowds they would have done.

The EFL will not accept any sort of truncated National League this season. Not a chance. All 3 EFL divisions will complete in full. And the NL will be required to do the same or there will be no promotion or relegation.

Also, remember EFL rules require a club losing it's membership (i.e. being relegated from League 2) has a league to play in. If crowds aren't back by August then the NL will not start and the relegated clubs won't have a league to play in.

Therefore the EFL will demand a full completion on the NL this season & a 100% cast iron guarantee that next season's NL will start on time & be completed in full. Very unlikely the former will happen or proof of the latter could be offered.

I fully expect a u turn. The latest statement is obviously designed to push this.
