Devil-Dick Willie Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 Id rather watch the Euro 2008 qualifier or the world cup semi final

Administrator Stan Posted March 31, 2020 Administrator Posted March 31, 2020 Barca players take 70% pay cut https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52092809
Lucas Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Footballers get loads of bad press but I should imagine most, if not, 98% of players would take a cut or defer their wages in the current climate. Always going to be a few selfish ones that think the world owes them everything but this kind of behaviour should hopefully be across the board now. Clubs are bigger than players after all.

Levy raked in £3m bonus for stadium completion (albeit late) on top of £4m salary. I understand this would have been decided way before COVID19 struck. However he's now furloughed all non-playing staff (550) for April-May so he can now claim that 80% back that he's paying them...

It's Furlonged Stan, not Furloughed... sort yourself out
Rick Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Think its discusting that a club like Newcastle or Spurs even have the cheek to think about using a government scheme for their employees. Fucking players at both clubs need to have a word with themselves, even sacrificing 20% of their wage would be able to pay those staff. I'd be seriously pissed off if Liverpool did this sort of shite
Smiley Culture Posted April 1, 2020 Author Posted April 1, 2020 Oh, we’re back to slating footballers for their wages. I did think the whole “give doctors and nurses footballers wages” gang had gone quiet at the minute.

Surely you can't argue against the fact that footballers could take a small pay cut during this time to help pay those who keep these clubs running on a day to day basis?
True Blue Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 A month wage from the top teams would cover the staff for months. It means nothing to them if they are on 50k-150k per week.

I understand the circumstances now but where do you stop with all this? Without all that’s going on at the minute, food banks were heavily relied upon before the virus, the emergency services have had the backside ripped out of them over the past ten or so years, kids are living in poverty and going to school with empty stomachs etc etc.

Devil-Dick Willie Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 Half baked shitouse prem footballers make 50-90k a week. A staff member would bite your hand off for that for a year or two. If the whole team earning over 10k went a week without a wage that would be the staff paid + shitloads for donations. Just 1 week without pay for the 1st team. half pay even.

The 80% furlough arrangement wasn't set up so Premier League football clubs can continue paying their players their full wage of thousands upon thousands each week and then claim 80% of their non playing staffs minimum wage.

Apparently this was mutually agreed between the players before the board even got involved and questioned if the players would want to do it.
