Not comfortable with League 2 closing the shutters on relegation (but still expecting promotion) and denying a 2nd National League team promotion as would have occurred via play offs. For me, if the National League are able to put forward a 2nd team eligible for promotion, either via PPG or hastily arranged play offs then one team should depart League 2. Stevenage have been awful and won just 3 (three) games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the management and staff are all on furlough who decides the retained list or bring in new players? they aren't allowed to work, not even voluntarily by law as I understand it. The only option would be to bring some out of furlough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps someone can clarify this? I quote this from Dino. 'When you are on furlough you are not allowed to do any work with the players or anyone at the football club'. My own view is the Dino and a handful will be brought out of furlough just before 30th June to make crucial decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know everyone is furloughed at BP but on BBC News the other night the Government stated that part time furloughing would be allowed enabling workers to return to work on an ad hoc basis.

I think it highly unlikely that the Legsamams will be taking a salary/ furloughed and let’s face it, they’re the only ones who will be involved in deciding who stays and who goes. Unfortunately. It also wouldn’t surprise me if Dino was not furloughed either and probably isn’t being paid. There’s something strange about his relationship with the Lemmys and it doesn’t seem to be on an employer/ employee basis. Regardless BP, ignoring the legal technicalities around the furlough scheme will be rife, particularly in football which operates to a code of its own in most dealings. There’s nothing to stop company directors talking to one another otherwise no businesses would ever reopen. Even companies where most staff are furloughed, there will be a few still working dealing with day to day matters even if the normal business activity is shut down.

You cannot work during full furlough thats the law. Already some firms are being prosecuted. Dino is officially on furlough, directors won't be. If the new season starts around September I foresee a last minute batch a free agents brought in. Just hope that they are Dino's choices. As I mentioned the answer will be to bring some out of furlough just before the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be impossible to police in small companies which don’t operate in the public domain. The current Latics regime don’t have a particularly good track record with employment law nor the corporate rules of Government departments such as HMRC.

There will be no promotion the season should just be made null and void and all start I. The same divisions next season I guess that's why promotion from L2 hasn't been confirmed yet.

LightDN123 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Does it matter if Dino has a say or not ? He’s just as clueless as the owners. He’s a terrible terrible manager, all words. Half decent motivational speaker at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half decent motivational speaker at best. now and again I suppose it matters in as much as we only have one person to blame for anything that goes wrong rather than the owner, his brother or anyone else on the payroll. I don't disagree much with your assessment of his managerial ability but would argue that with him in charge we wouldn't have been relegated, as that team probably needed a "kick up the arse" towards the end of the season.

Ive no doubt none of us season Ticket holders will be getting a refund of anykind. We can only assume that they are waiting for the decision to be ratified by the EFL at a board meeting this coming Wednesday before making any official statement. Also financially the club is on it's knees so I would imagine any decision on how to recompense season ticket holders for the five cancelled matches will need careful consideration. As a season ticket holder myself I would not expect a refund as these are extraordinary circumstances. However maybe in the fullness of time some recognition will be on the agenda. For the time being I’m just hoping we have a club to support when next season in a few months time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
