Let me guess, they’re trying to convince themselves the conference is stronger than League Two? It’s adorable when they do that.

Yes :lol: there are still posts saying it is now stronger than league 2 because of all the ex league clubs "trapped" down there due to lack of promotion places :lol:

It's true, I've heard Pep Guardiola is terrified of Stags reaching the Premier League.

Yeah all those clubs who finished 24th and 23rd in L2 make it so much stronger than L2. How does that work.

The FL club's would have to ratify the promotion places increasing (the relegation places increasing in L2). They ain't goon add to their risk of relegation and loss of funding.

I think it should be 2 because teams shouldn't be rewarded for slipping that low. There is a 'glut' of 'quality' at the top of the NL but you could argue that wouldn't be the case if it was easier to get promoted. The other reason why it's tight at the top is because several clubs have gone under new ownership with owners getting a cheap club (non-league and all that), never have we seen this happen to so many at the same time and they all invested at the same time in the same thing. This is the exception, not the rule.

While some club's adapt well to life in the EFL and NL, some don't. NL is not stronger than L2. Chesterfield got a double relegation from LQ to NL so by that logic, L2 is stronger than L1, and L1 stronger than the Championship?. It's just not true.

It's good for the NL that you have to be good to get out. It breeds quality from the bottom up.
You've got to go there and come back, to know where you've been.

Let's face it, once (if ever they do) the sheep return to the FL if a vote is needed to increase the number of teams up from t'pit which way will they vote?

Just like turkeys voting for Xmas all FL clubs'll put an X in the no box.
The loss of funding, lack of away fans and stigma of NL makes a vote a non starter unless stupid amounts are paid out in parachutes.

There’s also a reason it’s called league and NON league. If it was four up four down then it would just be another bit of the regular league with the same rules. It’s supposed to be hard to get into and you have to earn it and I think two is probably about right.

Let them sit and rot down there. It’s a horrible league and we went through some miserable times so I’m enjoying it being the same for them. Let them implode and get battered in the playoffs.

I’ve spent most of my life in leagues below Chesterfield and County, if we end up being 2 leagues above them both I can’t tell you how much I’d love it.

Stockport hitting form at the right time which is nice to see. County and wrexham etc will all take points off Chesterfield in the coming weeks.

The slide starts now.

Leagues tightening up nicely even earlier than I'd have hoped. Gonna be fun watching it all fall apart for them.

I'd be interested to look into how dominant the eventual promoted teams have been through the course of the season vs. how many got promoted having gone into top form in the final third of the season, over the last, say, decade.

I personally don't care if the sheep get promoted back, just as long as it takes them longer than our 5 years. CBA with hearing them sing "we did it in four, we did it in foooooour, you did it in five years, we did it in four" :D

I think right now would be a very appropriate time to return to the old system, re election.

With some big spenders in that league, this window could see squads strengthened. I fully expect the gift that keeps on giving to, well... keep on giving :lol:

He's got a buyout of £350k. For any team with that to spare, he's worth a punt, and I'd rather play SPL than NL. Doesn't really say anything about the quality of the Scottish game.

Yeah it does. That a player in the NL is interesting SPL teams says a lot. Calum Butcher. Look at the example of him. The SPL is very poor. Apart from the Old Firm, it’s L1 standard

Despite all the money they've thrown at it this year, the money they're paying to / paid for tshimanga,l it's funny that they're struggling to run away with the title.

A couple of bad results and they could be 5/6/7. Add in other teams adding to their squad and they're trying not to lose their top goalscorer, it could be interesting for them

Hanging on to Tshmanga will be key to their season. Although I don’t think he would pull up any trees at league level, he suits the conference perfectly. He’s big and strong and has enough about him to beat slow defenders and push them around.

If they keep him they will probably go up via the playoffs, if not they can look forward to another season in the pit of misery.


Says on today's red button football text that a premier and several championship teams are interested in him :shock:

They even mentioned him on TalkSport, the Hawkesby and whoever is with him these days show.
Saying it would be a less expensive gamble for most clubs rather than paying bigger money for Championship and League One goalscorers.
From what I've seen he'll struggle higher than League Two, but if the price is right he's worth a gamble when you consider the losses some clubs are willing to take.
Just look at Pompey with Marquis for example.

Spireites seem to think they can get closer to a million for him :lol:
Jamie Vardy at Fleetwood, he most definitely aint.
