Erm.............what the frig are you on about, what the effing hell as being an "elder" club got to do with it, we went down because we were crap, nothing else, no Covid, no foreign chairman not paying players, why the fooking hell should other clubs have had sympathy for us?
So why should we have sympathy with the national league. I believe you said :- "I think it is pretty sad that some are hoping that another League has to shut down and that professional footballers aren't allowed to play the sport they love just to save our skins." 1 question - Is your allegiance to Grimsby Town or not? |

Does the 'D' stand for male private? I think it is sad that people are hoping that another League has to cancel its season so that we stay up. As regards my allegiance to Grimsby Town. I have been a supporter for over 55 years, I have never missed a home game because I didn't want to be there. If we are relegated it will be because we have signed a load of crap players and haven't got enough points. If the NL is cancelled or the EFL is cancelled and we stay up that is fair enough but to wish that is pretty petty. |

We are bottom of the league as I type so I would take the National league voiding. Saying that there’s nothing to say we will finish bottom two if we continue. So let them finish and let the Grimsby grit shine.

We need to remember that everyone else immediately above us is also garbage. It will take 2-3 better players and we'll survive.

Your personal comments are very demeaning and I can add to your 55 years. The reason Town is in this mess is solely down to 2 people F & H the reason of which have been listed many times on this site. While I admire your reasoning for football to be judge of a league I don't recall a fist full of managers shouting Covid, Covid we can't play football because of covid. F & H destroyed any hope of Town playing football as we know it before a ball was kicked; and points on the board. And their is no point in us trying to score points against each other. You are fully entitled to your view on this subject, which I respect; likewise you should respect the my view and others who want Town to stay up, regardless of how. UTM |

So the options are... 1) Saddle your club with debt. 2) Saddle the league with debt and then clubs get nothing from the league anytime soon. 3) Suspend the season (which is code work for abandon because if they stop through lack of funds there's no way it would restart anytime soon). Whichever way they go it's probably a good time for a forward thinking league club to try and buy some of the best young talent in the National League (you know how Peterborough have been doing for years). |

Other garbage teams will do that as well though, won't they? We aren't the only ones desperate to get out of trouble. We cannot mount an attack let alone score enough goals to win a game. I am not optimistic at all; I had hoped that we would have got more players in by now to give us a chance, with whoever is pulling the financial strings well aware we might actually need to shell out a bit of cash to get our number one targets. I have only seen one team worse than us in terms of overall performance - Scunny - and we are asking a lot to improve sufficiently to be safe. |

Would concur that to get the right quality players in we may need to pay transfer fees for a number of them and as we know the Conference has some excellent players who will at the present time have concerns over their futures as will their respective clubs.
Let’s be honest if we consider the income we will lose by going out the league we must be willing to spend a significant sum to try and ensure this doesn’t happen.

In the event that the National League chooses option 2, it has far reaching consequences.
Option 2 involves the National League taking on the loan and the liability for that loan. Subsequently then distributing this loan to member clubs by way of grants that do not need to be repaid.
But the National League intends to repay this by holding back future central funding that the NL member clubs would have got. So essentially clubs would be voting to take money now, that they would have got later. Just to enable them to finish the season.
What will they do in the future when a big part of their central funding is held back? Back to square one.
What if central funding changes in the future?
Will the FA even be happy with the NL for holding back central funding to repay government loans, that ordinarily should be passed on to clubs,
Here is the biggie though. If they choose option 2 with the significantly reduced future central funding payments, this has an affect on clubs that are promoted or relegated to the National League. Imagine if that’s us, relegated and having to cope with reduced central funding because of the votes of member clubs in the NL prior to our arrival.
In the event that they choose option 2, there will be moves from the EFL to deny promotion/relegation from EFL/NL. Why would any EFL club want to welcome any NL clubs when their fellow EFL clubs risk dropping into a league with reduced funding.
Interesting 48 hours ahead
