Simon Jordan hits out at Rodri over his comments in a press conference pre Manchester City's first Champions League game, where he says players may want to strike due to the congested football schedule.
I applaud Eastleigh for taking the brave decision to withdraw from the newly created National League Cup . I only wish my own team, Woking FC, had done the same thing.I can say with confidence right now that it will provide no benefits whatsoever to National League clubs and will more likely derail the ambitions of many of us.
Eastleigh claim that National League teams weren’t consulted before the decision was taken to launch this competition, and I can well believe that. After all, there was no consultation over the scrapping of FA Cup replays which served as 'lottery wins' for clubs at our level and which gave English football huge once-in-a-lifetime moments which sadly are now history.
1. "National League teams currently receive no compensation or protection for our young players, some of whom would feature in this competition. Premier League and EFL clubs simply take these players that have often had many years development at our clubs, something they cannot do to each other. Providing these clubs with competitive games to then play these players or showcase more of them to be taken under these circumstances is completely illogical.
4. The fixtures are to be played between October and April which is a time in the season where the club would hope to be competing in the FA Trophy, FA Cup and mounting a challenge for the Play-offs/Promotion and to add more fixtures to this already busy schedule would be counter productive. A number of other clubs have made the decision to not participate. If we truly value our football pyramid, which is often held up as something we should be proud of and unique then it is incumbent on the clubs to push back against developments that devalue our national sport something which we believe this cup competition does.
