NL board to decide early next week

[Chinawhite1000]

The problem with the argument that Notts should be invited back as the 91st-ranked club in 2018/19 is that it rests entirely on what the EFL decide to do. The National League are probably about to declare this season null and void, but I would be very surprised if the EFL followed suit. And if the EFL ultimately resolve the 2019/20 season without null and voiding, then we weren't members during their last legally-completed season. Then the legal basis to reclaim membership (which sounds feasible if not moral) is gone and it becomes a slightly rubbish argument when the possibility to invite a club on footballing merit still exits.

I don't think the National league can afford to Null and Void the season - even if the play off's don't happen there needs to be a league table they can go to to invite clubs to the EFL in case EFL clubs don't survive this - and some like Macclesfield might well not.

Some good conversations going on here most to do with who will go up which is understandable, I want to again want to talk about the financial implications there was a piece in The Mail 9th April.

The Barrow manager is saying that the PL money will only cover the advanced payments for Solidarity,Parachute and Academy the NL teams would normally receive in August.

So if a lot of NL clubs have used that money to pay expenses such as HMRC PAYE what money will they have to spend when the new season starts.

I have a feeling that Barrow and some of the other teams will not be able to meet the financial requirements to run a professional football club.

the Barrow manager is actually just confirming what everybody who has read up on this already knows - the PL money is not new money for the National League clubs - it literally is just the clubs getting money they would have got in August a bit earlier. On the face of it it looks like the PL are being generous - but they are not passing any extra money at all to the National League clubs.

Unlike some fans from other clubs, I've enjoyed having you on our board me ode China. Can I ask if your board busy? Despite supporting a tinpot club, goes without saying your the sort of proper footie fan I love.
