David Newton has said that National League Clubs need financial support in particular to pay players on contract whilst little or no income is forthcoming.
"There is plenty of time to make decisions about how the leagues will
(or will not) be concluded, however there is real urgency around playing
contracts,"said the Boston chairman as reported by the Boston Standard.
"If the leagues are not to be terminated, some financial support will definitely be needed for clubs in the National League.
"We have no income but would still be forced to honour playing contacts for an undefined period.
"I understand that the football authorities are trying to find a way forward that is not open to challenge, but all the while we are trying to keep our clubs alive.
"I fully appreciate that all businesses are in a similar position and I do not want anyone to think that I am in any way implying that football clubs are more important than other businesses, they are not, but we do have a very specific challenge around player contracts – an issue that does not exist in other businesses but does need urgently addressing by the football authorities, if clubs are to find a way through this very difficult period."
