Any news on who is the new Unley coach?

[hollywood7477]

any truth to the rumour both Athelstone and Unley offered the opportunity to go back to Div 2. Apparently Athelstone accepted the offer but Unley didnt.

No truth. The league is doing no offering for clubs to be relegated. It is entirely up to a club to approach the league and seek to be relegated for 2021. It's then up to the league to assess that request and if OK with it then go about offering the spot to a club in the next Division down. If a club in any Division asks to be relegated then one assumes the Premiership club in the Division below will get first dibs at being promoted.

I don't believe this to be true, from my understanding clubs have inquired from lower divisions about promotion and in turn the league has asked the question of lower finishing clubs in the above division. So the league aren't taking initiative but they are following up for some successful clubs about the possibility.

I think you both have a bit of a 1 + 1 = 3

The last email to all Grand Finalists and 9th and 10th on the 30th September read;

From the pen of the CEO

Hi all.

To be in receipt of this email would suggest your club has completed the 2020 season as a Grand Finalist or in the last two positions on your respective Premiership Ladders.

In any other year, that would indicate either Promotion or Regulation as per The League’s Rules and Regulations.

To reaffirm, The League in consultation with all clubs, froze promotion and relegation for 2020.

However we also left the door ajar for any club who based on their own circumstances or knowledge of their club could seek relegation on the proviso there was a willing member club to be promoted.

Some Grand Finalist clubs have indicated a will to challenge themselves in a higher division in 2021. Those clubs are cognisant of the fact that the opportunity may be lost this year for the reason stated above. The general narrative is some are willing to be promoted however if a club is to seek relegation, that collaboration is not open ended i.e. They will not enter conversations in February 2021.

The League remains open to those clubs wishing to enter discussion even if only informally however we will not continue to drive this discussion point rather from here on, rely on any club to seek the League out for discussions.

Consistent with Club and Team Nominations, we propose October 31 2020 to be the deadline for any further discussion to this matter.

There is no promotion/relegation this season due to covid. Athlestone requested to go down anyway, but this has been known for a while anyway, just officially confirmed.
