FC Halifax Town manager hits out at lack of communication from National League after season is ended

The league said there was a "clear majority of clubs in favour" from the returned votes across their three divisions to finish the season, with around 90 per cent of clubs having their say.

Talks are continuing over how to resolve promotion and relegation.

For their part, Halifax have expressed their disappointment with the decision to end the season, with Wild unhappy about how the league have handled the situation.

Wild, who believes that a play-off format is the best way of finishing the season - the Shaymen occupy sixth place in the table - "As a club we are disappointed for various reasons.

"Everyone seems to be looking after their own agenda and I understand that. But it is just the way that they (league) have gone about it.

"There has been very little communication and to come out with a conclusion to a vote which has not been concluded...It is disappointing.

"On the flip side, I can understand because as the weeks have gone on, it was becoming more and more apparent that the implications and practicalities of finishing the (regular) season are way beyond finances and the means of the leagues.

"But for it to come out in the media, seven minutes after was announced to the clubs, is wrong because I should be telling my players - not my players telling me after seeing something on social media.

"I found that very frustrating and with the way it has been communicated and handled, I think there will a lot of questions when we come out on either side of this on the administration side of the league."
