Season Ended.

The way I see it is no ones got a f00kin clue what will happen.

No that is right but as a forum it us perfectly normal to have an opinion.

Of course I might be wrong and I hope I am we'll have to wait and see.

Point taken and I'd like to apologise for using virtua(ish)l bad language.

Yes I have read what they said but I must have missed the bit where it said we will keep our best players.

They might keep us as a club but ALL clubs are losing money so need to still balance the books still and they may not want to stay if league clubs come calling.

I see what you are saying but ALL clubs regardless of level are impacted. So who could afford to come in and say to Notts here is 100k for Roberts? Also we can’t simply sack the player as we would still pay out on the contract, which wouldn’t save money. The reality is that in the summer most players will leave the club with the exception of those under contract. Unfortunately we could lose some good players like Lacey.
I can see a point where Notts place those remaining at the club under furlough. If we don’t, that would actually give me more confidence if the financial position at Notts.

Yes all clubs are impacted correct but the players mentioned will be gone if a club offers them good terms and the days of transfer fees are likely gone in the lower league for a while we will need to save money regardless of what the owners have said they don’t strike me as being daft.

If you furlough players that is totally legal but I think if you do that the players can go for free whether that is Harry Kane or Callum Roberts the further down you are the more vultures can take your players.

Someone said the virus came in the wrong year could you imagine if this happened with Hardy ?

The only way out of this is if clubs lower down the leagues are told the season can start in September for example and have crowds of around 5000 in the ground (I’m using that figure as Ireland have mentioned that as under a mass gathering)

What is annoying is you are told cancelled, then no it’s not, now suspended then a second vote there is no clear leadership if the NL want to void the season then have the balls to do it yourself.

Voted to cancel the rest of the season

You posted on the thread started by countygump, then started this thread!
Didn't you like gumpy's thread?

[Notts78]

I see the national league have voted in favour of cancelling the season, but haven't decided on promotion etc.

That’s probably more to do with what happens further up the pyramid

[BigFatPie]

No relegation from the league and Barrow going up seems the likeliest outcome. Relegating teams based on an incomplete season would guarantee legal action, even if they seem like the certainties that Stevenage appear to be.

Typical Notts, f00ked over again.

Use the Plays offs as a 'Pre-season tournament'

How would that work? Replace normal pre season games with these? How would teams budget? Would you be happy paying League 2 price for a season ticket in advance of knowing what League we would be in?
