Re: Rest of the season?

Read White’s press release. He’s a very unhappy bunny threatening more action. Maybe he should find another league to play in which he could win every season.

Re: Rest of the season?

I wonder why the NL even considered it, appeasing certain club chairman I would imagine. I will wait to see how many redundancies will be made at Dorking as Marc White claimed would happen if the league did not continue. I’m guessing none.

Re: Hampton’s Heroes

The book is about the last 20 years so not really covering players from before 2002.

Re: Rest of the season?

One suggestion I read, was that all the clubs should ask to play so that it is now a 43 team competition. We can put out a scratch team and bung up the works by having too many games to play.

Re: Rest of the season?

Can’t think we would as there is no funding. Just for the rich kids I think.

Re: Niko Muir

I believe the top eight in the eight team mini league all get promoted. Could be a close run thing.

Re: Niko Muir

I think Gary is doing some scouting for Dowse so there is clearly a good relationship. It is only a loan but if Dowse was keen to make it permanent then a fee would be payable.

Re: Rest of the season?

I struggle to see how a team can get promoted in competition where a large number of teams are excluded on financial grounds. Would everyone be happy if Welling were promoted having won the mini league after being in last place at the end of season? Recruit players spare due to their own clubs inabi...

Re: Rest of the season?

It makes no sense to me to allow promotion when more than half of the NLS and NLN sides won’t be involved. It clearly gives a massive advantage to clubs who can afford to carry on. If the league were to even think about supporting that idea then I would hope clubs would vote it down. How would a vot...

Re: Rest of the season?

Marc White is now backtracking from legal action as I suspected he would have to. Doubt if all the continuation clubs want to end up suing their own league and potentially the FA as well. Listening to Mark Ives on Ollie Bayliss’ Non League show, there doesn’t seem to be any leadership about what hap...

Re: Rest of the season?

It’s a pressure tactic. Mark Ives, NL acting CEO, who is ex FA legal/compliance is probably not going to be fazed by a lawyers letter. I doubt the FA are going to delay the ratification of the vote so Marc White may have to injunct the FA who won’t be terribly impressed ( see South Shields attempts ...
