Ah! The great non league family at its best! Will they allow a Twitter feed?

Dulwich have announced they will not play until the League resolves the original reason for suspending games. They make the very good point that the League is forcing clubs into taking risky financial decisions when their own policy is designed to prevent this from happening. There are obviously som...

Billericay have just announced they will be fielding their U23 team on Saturday to keep contracted players on furlough. The madness begins..

As I said previously, seems that the NL are putting pressure on clubs to play with either threats of fines or expulsion. Given that their own set of resolutions includes the prospect of calling the season null and void, this looks very heavy handed. So if the decision is null and void in a couple of...

That has to be considered of course as we know there will be significant cost associated with ground grading upgrades and higher playing costs. Although the loans being offered are long term and low interest, they still have to be serviced so it just adds to the overall financing requirement. The lo...

I think the club are trying to work out how they can continue in the league and what options they have around finance. The picture seems to shift daily so they are not going to rush to conclusions. Some clubs such as Concord and Oxford City are slashing budgets so as to avoid having to take loans. T...

If the NLS was declared null and void, would he be that mad to consider an approach?

Seems like the NL is applying pressure for clubs to resume games this week without the the various votes being resolved. NLN clubs in particular are not keen to carry on so we could be heading for a bit of a showdown. The NL executive really need to see the outcome of the voting before they ask club...

The nightmare scenario is if clubs in NLN and NLS get forced to continue against their wishes. Legally can they be forced to take loans if the directors do not believe they could repay them? They cannot knowingly put their clubs into an insolvent position. The only option would be to resign from the...

Maybe get Marcus Rashford on the case!

Not sure of exact rules but seems that you would only be allowed to pay less than current furlough level of wages and hence where players are on a contract at higher levels the clubs would have to fund the difference. So roughly 30-40% still needs to come from club’s own resources. My own interpreta...

A bit more information. It seems that even if clubs take a loan, one the conditions is that wages are capped at a level below current furlough levels. This could cause some difficulty for many clubs.
