Why change the habit of a lifetime. They are not interested in the club or its fans, just the bank balance at the end of the month. The reaction of the players to Fletch's injury time winner against Charlton in February would suggest otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marro Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I can’t see many of the players who will soon be out of contract agreeing to a wage deferral / pay cut unless (1) they have a conscience or (2) want to try and negotiate a new contract!

matthefish2002 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Maybe Chansiri has guaranteed players will get 100% wages on time out if his own personal resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I dont think this is that much of a sacrifice by Sheff U players, still as far as I can see getting full wages just have to wait a few months for part of it. It came out in court the Prince didn’t have a pot to p**s in. A lot of clubs in the Premier League have wealthy owners who can cover the losses during this break from football, I’m not sure the Prince can. This may have been a straight choice between deferring their wages or serious financial problems for the club. As for our lot, I wouldn’t expect them to defer their wages as I often think the sole motivator for most of them is pay day at the end of the week.

With our lot I see a group of players who have very little pride in what they’re doing and as long as they get paid couldn’t care less. As much as I hate to praise them, they are the polar opposite of the players who turn out for the pigs each week. At least that’s how I see it.

I'd be interested in hearing what a neutral person see's I don't think they'd be able to tell any difference between 'our lot' and 'any other lot' Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanzaroteowl Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Deferring wages is no different to banking them. Pretty sure professional footballers in the top two divisions don't live hand to mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple O Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I know this topic has descended into a cat fight but can I just respond to Grandad's question. No not heard anything and don't really expect to. There has been some discussion on social media suggesting that any club who defer wages until the end of the year ,or use the furlough scheme to pay player, should not be allowed to sign any new players until everything paid back. (Some clubs not aiming to pay all what is owing to players for a year) The reasoning being that the clubs may use the money saved to buy players when other clubs cannot as they are still paying their existing players. If this makes sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
