    [Football] Liverpool are the next club to announce furloughing non playing staff.

    In the current business climate all of our staff have agreed to a 20% reduction in their salary. Some are on furlough through no fault of their own. Some are classified vulnerable some are not essential. This allows the business to continue to trade on a turnover of 40-50% normal turnover. We...

    [Football] Am I missing something here ?

    But if the club isn’t making money anyway the owner is already propping it up. Surely there are several issues here, why should players be immune from shared hardship and they benefit from a free market which in bad financial conditions means that there income naturally drops. The level of the...

    [Football] Am I missing something here ?

    The money is the clubs in the first place. If it ends up as profit on the balance sheet they would need to pay corporation tax anyway.

    [Football] Am I missing something here ?

    Surely the issue is that football clubs shouldn’t be furloughing low paid staff that the tax player will have to fund when ridiculously overpaid staff aren’t affected at all. It’s about a shared burden. The players don’t get the sharing bit. They also don’t get that when they don’t play in front...

    [Football] Liverpool are the next club to announce furloughing non playing staff.

    I don’t subscribe to this rich owner thing. When the TV companies want their money back because this season can’t be finished or even if it is us numpty’s don’t consider it important and don’t pay, the players will find there isn’t any money. At present I don’t care who wins or who gets...

    [Other Sport] Virtual Grand National NSC SWEEPSTAKE Saturday 4th April 17.00 ITV

    More than doubled my £20 stake today despite paying for my wife and daughters bets that didn’t come in. Going to supermarket tomorrow to spend the lot on stuff and put it in the food bank basket. Probably round it up to the £100. Not buying anything for a few weeks anyway. I Had hoped to bee at...

    [News] Premier League wage cut 30% ?

    i'm sorry but its just massive ignorance and self interest from the players saying it's not their problem. Its just plain economics before we get anywhere near morality. Clubs are businesses and their income is linked to the Tv revenue which is also linked to the advertising income of said Tv...

    [Albion] STHs - are you renewing?

    I wholeheartedly agree with pretty much all of what you say BUT as it's not my intention to renew I do contest that not having a season ticket doesn't make you not part of the family. I imagine there are many on here that don't but still consider themselves Albion thru and thru.

    [Albion] STHs - are you renewing?

    Quite possibly not. Circumstances in my personal life last year mean that things just aren't the same. Nothing to do with which division we are in or if I find the football enjoyable.
