The National League Looks Like A Shambles Said Gowling

Josh Gowling

Hereford manager Josh Gowling is taking each game as it comes but he thinks it's about time the National League made a decision on whether the season is going to continue or not.

"It's about time someone made a decision," said Gowling after last night's game against Brackley.

"It's getting frustrating.

"We as clubs don't know where we are going. Obviously we want to play until a decision is made. Other clubs have decided they don't want to.

"Why aren't the League coming out and saying the decision is in 28 days and you've got to play until then. If you don't play until then these are the ramifications. If they had done that it's clear to everyone. But they've not done that.

"I don't want to speak ill of people on the League but it's bad governance.

"How can you have a board of people all connected with football clubs? How are they going to make a decision that is best for the League? They are not going to do that. They are going to make a decision that is best for their football club which we have already seen. So that's why no decisions get made.

"Good governance is getting people in around the board that run the league who have no affliation with any football clubs and then clear decisions will be made.

"Until that happens we are just going to get this all the time, it's a farce.

"We don't know if we are going to play Saturday and we've got training on Thursday.

"We trained last Monday ready for the Curzon game and then we finish training and the game is off.

"I should have been doing a running session with the lads to keep them fit but I couldn't do that because Curzon didn't want to play. It's not acceptable.

"Make a decision and stick to it.

"Until we get some clear guidance it's just going to be an absolute shambles. It's a mockery let's be honest.

"People look at the National League and it looks like a shambles."
