Im not getting confused with anything. What I’m saying is that what you are saying does not make sense in my opinion. You are saying nln ( 6th division) or northern league (9th division, assuming you mean northern league div 1 and I’m not using non league tiers) so if they think he is good enough for nln then it’s a waste of time to go down to the northern league, or they think he is northern league level at the moment and so then he will be well out of his depth in nln. The quality difference between those 2 leagues is massive and makes no sense to rule out the 2 leagues in the middle.
NLP to NLN is not much difference at all. Expect Macciesfield to walk that league next year as well. You really are getting confused because NLP is the league below NLN.. But no surprise 1more is liking your post
