Between a rock and a hard place, with no guidance at present.


And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot.
No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all.
All that was really there was still more misery

Another NL club thinking of furloughing or closing shop. Interesting they say a number of clubs are considering the same.


All Town aren’t we

The chairman of Solihull Moors is quoted as saying :-

These are undoubtedly complex issues to resolve but I would like to place on the record this club’s thanks to the board of the National League in trying to look after the interests of the whole league and to finding an equitable solution

“Dover have already indicated that they will not complete the season without further financial support, and it is likely other clubs will follow. Whilst I have sympathy for this position, I do not think any club can unilaterally decide not to fulfil fixtures, and accordingly, I think there have to be proportionate penalties for such clubs.

“Otherwise, they are gaining a financial advantage in a season where there is no longer relegation, and they are also negatively impacting the integrity of the competition for the remaining clubs.”

I have read such selfishness from a chairman about the league his club is playing in. His obviously thinking about promotion and doesn't give dam about clubs with no money.

The integrity of the NL disappeared weeks ago, now confirmed by no relegation. So what penalties will he want for Dover. Can't fine them as they have no money, can't deduct points as no relegation.

With a chairman like him their is no wonder that league is a total mess.

What financial advantage does a club with zero bank balance have. The next step is to go bust.

This issue is far from over. I am finding it harder and harder to see this division continuing to the end of the season.

Didn’t all league 2 clubs vote on relegation from the league last year? I think I read that 20 of the 24 voted no relegation. Ironically honest John and Phil voted to have relegation as it wasn’t going to be us. Could come and bite them on their backsides this year if they have another vote.

Edit
Found it

I agree. All I can see now that as their is no relegation that all clubs with money problems will play until the cash runs out, or before if they've got sense and then shut shop till next season. Eventually the league will have to end this season null and void. The Board of the NL probably don't want to take blame until its fait accompli, and then say what could we do. Very weak management.

The NL could sanction a points deduction for next season.

You’d imagine that Dover, and anyone else that ends up not fulfilling fixtures will end up with points deductions starting from next season, which will probably see the sides currently at the bottom this year (who will avoid relegation) simply being the same next season...delaying the inevitable I guess.

It’s becoming a real mess and I’m not sure anyone team or person/league is to blame. The conference has always been a bit of a basket case and makes some bizarre decisions. I guess, as a football fan, whilst we’ve looked worse than conference and our club has been operating well below conference, we’re not down there. The thought of Day/Fenty being involved in this is terrifying.

I am uncertain of their ability to furlough and then play new players - the intention of furloughing is to keep staff employed when there's no work for them. I can't furlough members of my staff and use someone else to do their work. Surely it can be argued by the HMRC that replacing players who could play is not in the legalities of furloughing...
Could any employment experts/ HMRC representatives care to clarify?

Barrow have done this. And with our ridiculous squad, I'm surprised we haven't. Clubs in the NLS did this too.
