Pay cut

Pay cut

Our owners wealth is what exactly?

Yet he cannot afford 2.5k a month for his staff?

He would rather we pay for it through our tax?

How about my original suggestion the other day. Any club using this system should do it for all staff. Players, directors, groundsman, cleaners, the lot. The government can then give 2.5k for all of the players, work out what is left over out of the average 14k a week in the championship, and take the rest to fund other workers in other businesses that really are struggling.

Which ever way I look at this it stinks.

i don’t blame any business that follows the Government guidelines for now by the letter. The clarity and information isn’t there for the bulk of companies whilst all existing regulations remain in place. The Premier League teams are worried about the TV funding and various other payments, this then filters into the EFL where the only cast iron regulations currently in force include one that says clubs can only be funded by a beneficial owner up to a certain amount. It stinks I agree but if I was the owner of a loss making business that relied someone else I’d be considering my options. We don’t know how many other businesses they are also running so maybe they have had to do it with all of them.

We will have to disagree on the grounds of morals.

It stinks, really stinks, and won’t be forgotten.
 
They are still paid by the club, they’re entitled to full pay. You’re assuming the club are going to claim back 80%
If the club were paying them they would not need to be furloghed.

They only have to be sent home on the govt scheme and are not allowed to do any work for the club.
 
Plus
there Will be a good cross section of fans who have no overtime, bonus opportunity and probably reduced wages
so priorities will be mortgages, bills, food shop and if there is anything left maybe a holiday at sone point, a PNE season ticket will not be at the top of anyone’s shopping list when things begin to return to normal, especially at £400 to £500
i see very bleak times ahead for football and all of the posts about crows size will seem probably quite ironic
I agree with your sentiments Edgy, football at present is a pretty low priority in these difficult and horrendous times.
Keeping heads above water and staying safe, then when we are out of this horrible period of time it will be a long time before normality is resumed, football, season tickets, will be a very very low on the main requirements list.
