As a club with no debt, 6000 crowds and having accumulated transfer fees and shedding wages from selling our best players over the summer we probably would survive playing a development squad in the Third Division.
I worry abart not evvin opponents to play. Maybe a regionalised Third Division North and South with 16 clubs in each, the rest tekkin a year art like Grimsby ev suggested
Personally I think what's happened could be a blessing in disguise for football?
The game will have to adjust accordingly and pay footballers a reasonable wage rather than the absolutely stupid amounts they get now, nobody who plays a game for a living should get £200,000-300,000 A WEEK! It's obscene and COVID will hopefully mean a wage cap is coming in?
These footballers could buy our club on what they earn it's all wrong! It has meant clubs struggling the lower down the pyramid you go.
Hopefully apart from wage caps a few other things will come in which will make football sustainable for the smaller clubs again so that everyone can compete with hope they can progress, rather than living week to week hoping that they unearth a gem that they can sell so they can survive.
You never know with a bit of luck we may see VAR scrapped, refs allowing football to be a contact sport again and players not getting booked for taking their shirts off to celebrate a goal............?
It's been on Radio Deedah this morning , they don't think any action will be taken against either Derby or Weds at tommorows meeting, it was mainly fans views though , the presenter gave no indication of what his thoughts were ,
