All results expunged

Void every league from Premier downwards. Show a bit of solidarity with those at grass roots level.

Lots at Grass roots level are not happy with null and void either Marcus......many there feel they haven't been listened to also

My idea is to Roll 2019-20 and 2020-21 together and when a team plays a game (2020-21 Season) that was not played in 2019-20 it's for "Double Points".

Just going through some of the other clubs forum. I thought these two posts from a couple of Altrincham supporters just goes to prove, that whatever the decision and no matter which club you support, there are going to be differing opinions on this topic.

null and void it for me if you can't take it to a conclusion.......how can you promote kings lynn when their form has dipped and York are top???

The National League sees itself as an extension of the EFL so will do whatever actions are decided by the leagues above and won't give a thought to individual situations or clubs at Step 3 and below.

Interesting to read Stephen Cleeves's comparison of possible football season conclusions with the decision to not null and void school exams but take into account performance during the year.
Unfortunately there is also a football comparison, if a match is abandoned it is replayed!

King’s Lynn Town’s promotion hopefuls have accepted a wage cut.

The Linnets - second on the National League North’s suspended table – haven’t played a game since Saturday March 14 - two days before football was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Owner Stephen Cleeve said he could be facing a shortfall of £100,000 in lost revenue, but announced on his Twitter account yesterday that the players had agreed to a salary cut.


“All of our players have very kindly agreed to take a 20pc wage cut until the end of the season,” he wrote. “It gave me no pleasure to ask as I have always honoured contracts in or out the game, but I need to ensure that the club is still around for the start of next season whenever that is.”

The National League has like most others, suspended its season indefinitely, but as yet have not announced how they will resolve the issues of promotion and relegation: it is thought that may depend on what the Premier League and EFL decide.

Last week the National League said it was “currently obtaining specialist legal advice, is consulting regularly with the Football Association and other stakeholders, and is committed to involving its member clubs in a pending decision on how best to conclude the 2019/20 season”.

PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor says he will not take cut to his £2m salary

The chief executive of the Professional Footballers’ Association, Gordon Taylor, has said he will not take a cut to his £2m salary, as the continuing dispute over footballers’ wages appeared still some distance from being resolved.

Despite continued pressure from politicians, another meeting between league representatives and the PFA ended without any resolution on Monday, with both sides now looking to individual clubs to secure agreement with their players.

As Manchester United announced they would not use the government’s furlough system and Liverpool reversed their decision to do so, each club is increasingly taking their own route, with some adopting a wait-and-see approach until it is clear how the season, currently suspended, might end.

This goes contrary to the hopes of the Premier League, which suggested all clubs consider a reduction of up to 30% in their players’ wages after an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting last Friday. But it is closer to the approach advised by the PFA, which asked that clubs should reveal their financial situation before players consider a pay cut.

Speaking to the Guardian, Taylor said: “What [the players] are saying is that it needs every club in its own locality to work things out for themselves – you can’t have one suit fitting all sizes because there is such a variance in income and expenditure.

“It needs to be round the table with all the facts revealed and then I can assure you that players will come to a position that is mindful about keeping their club alive and in good health as well as their jobs alive.”

Asked if he would take a pay cut, Taylor said: “The PFA will make donations and the PFA is involved in the players’ charity. At the moment the PFA position is that we will continue to be paying all our staff of over 60 in full.”

As clubs continue to formulate their own plans in response to the coronavirus crisis, Manchester United have written to their staff to confirm that all of their circa 900 full-time employees are to be paid as normal and that no one will be furloughed. Staff who are unable to work from home or have reduced hours have instead been encouraged to volunteer with the NHS or in their local communities.

Burnley also confirmed they would not be furloughing staff or cutting wages, despite the prospect – according to their chairman, Mike Garlick – of a possible £50m hole in club revenues. Elsewhere, David Moyes announced he would take a 30% cut in his wages at West Ham, becoming the third Premier League manager to do so after Bournemouth’s Eddie Howe and Graham Potter of Brighton.

Personally, or do you mean the amount the PFA have apparently donated?

That's not how I read it.

"Asked if he would take a pay cut, Taylor said: “The PFA will make donations and the PFA is involved in the players’ charity. At the moment the PFA position is that we will continue to be paying all our staff of over 60 in full.”

Hi Linnet

I couldn't open your link, so re read the one I posted.

I've now read your link and I can see that its a personal one now.

Thanks. 

[Linnet]

Thanks B&G No worries

Mind I agree with your general point about being a tad hypocritical

Cheers
