Andy Holt has said this morning that allegedly some clubs already not paying wages so if made to play behind closed doors some of these unpaid players will probably refuse to play also if Stanley told to play after June 30th would be a weakened side suggesting out of contract players will have been let go or won't be paid to play beyond that date.
it just shows now how many clubs are really living on the edge. just cannot see how long this situation can continue especially with no light at the end of the tunnel. just get the impression that if the premier league and the champions league are ok then its sod the rest.
Dutch government have banned any sporting events or similar with crowds until September 1st Dutch league are expected to finish season as it stands, our government needs to do something similar then football will have to tow the line however unpopular it might be in some quarters, but at least we would have some clarity personally think it would be towards end of year if such an announcement were to be made.
Although I don't think there's a Stanley fan alive who doesn't share the same feelings about that certain club from Hertfordshire, their league survival ( or not as the case may be ) doesn't matter a jot to me in the present circumstances, to be honest there's much more to worry about like for instance, will Stanley survive if the EFL insist on us playing the rest of our season behind closed doors
Mark,
Is this correct ?

Trying to work the squad out if we play beyond 30 June. 10 players plus non contract players. Of the 10 Hughes and McConville injured, and Finley suspended ?

Now that the National League has seen sense and finished until further notice Leagues 1 and 2 will undoubtedly follow reports coming out that 30 out of 47 league 1 and 2 clubs apparently want to follow suit to have a chance of survival. Even Andy Holt has said if made to play with no financial aid would cost £500,000 and the possibility of next season behind closed doors Stanley would probably fold so to me any Stanley should support Andy on this front.

FIFA Law 3 Exile ! 7 minimum - bring yer boots !
With the government announcing yesterday that without a vaccine or medicine to control the illness unlikely to be available this year social distancing measures expected to last until next year at least, football needs to act now and make a collective decision on the next steps so clubs have at least something to plan on.
Troubled times at Oldham FC owner wants to furlouge players but doesn't want to make up the 20% meaning they get £2500 a month maximum some players claiming that's a 2 thirds drop in income. Owner says if they don't agree they come under normal employees rights and could be made redundant he doesn't want this to happen but wants to protect the club. Also some players have said they haven't had last month,s salary yet. As every day passes another club or clubs will face similar scenario,s.
as long as its something positive and not straw grasping like they did at the beginning of the outbreak. plan for the worst ever scenario and anything that happens better would give everyone a real lift. please, please no false hopes for fans and clubs.
Here's some interesting numbers from 2018. Ironic that Radford at Mansfield is leading the fight for a salary cap ..............
Mansfield’s players, with an average weekly salary of £1,490, earn four times as much as their local fans, whose average earnings are said to be £372.90.
Stags players are also said to have the third highest weekly pay in League Two.
Using the same data, promoted Luton Town have the highest wage gap, their salary average of £2,101 five times greater than their fans’ total of £446.40.
Lincoln, who made the play-offs, have the second biggest gap with players earning £1,712 – four times than their fans’ average of £384.40.
Promoted Wycombe Wanderers’ players are said to earn an average £1,137, twice that of their fans’ average of £470 while Notts County, like Stags, are said to be four times the supporters’ average with players’ figure of £1,428 against fans’ £364.10.
Interestingly, champions Accrington’s average wage is said to be only £635 – the lowest in the division – and twice that of their fans’ £378.80.

Assuming this is still the case, it explains why we often struggle to attract players.
And clearly the budget is going to get cut further.
Every clubs budget will be cut maybe wages cap and for some maybe no budget as they have gone.
