WalthamOwl Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Very good from DC. Let’s now hope he learns how to run the football club on the pitch as a business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest timrud Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 He is a good chairman - he has got things wrong but you do see him trying to learn and improve. We are lucky to have him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using tax payers money to pay everyday staff while continuing to pay players obscene amounts in full doesn’t sit with me. It's his fiduciary duty to protect the club taking the furlough is good business sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer to anything relating to what the public has to pay for is simply to get Amazon, Facebook etc all to just pay their taxes. If the huge businesses out there paid their taxes in this country we wouldn't even have to worry about stuff like this cos the country would be minted.

But in the post you quote, I never mention furlough, and the only question you ask is if he can cut wages to which I said I he can with deferrals. I can accept when I’m wrong, in this instance I am not. You never spoke of furlough! Quote the post I wrote about furlough if that’s what you wish to discuss. Plus it is not your right to dictate who can or can not post. I was wrong about something earlier and am big enough to hold my hands up and accept it. Doesn’t mean I can’t still have my say or opinion on things about the matter. Where have I said who can and can’t post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that’s in a perfect world. But specifically football related, I just don’t feel it’s right when in 2 months time these teams will be wanting to bid millions for players yet can’t afford to cover the cost of their non playing staff, when in reality the wage budget of non-playing staff will be minuscule in comparison to the players. This is more than Sheffield Wednesday of course. I’ve seen many people such as Gary Neville and Preston manager Alex Neil calling for a transfer ban imposed on teams who furlough the non playing staff.

Reading your reply all I could think about is 'yeah that's right' but then immediately thinking that no matter what decisions are taken the big clubs will immediately call for their solicitors and start legal action over it Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole Coronavirus situation gave football the opportunity to do a lot of good. Yet it will probably be remembered for legal disputes and financial fall outs. Shame really.

Guest LondonOwl313 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I’d be surprised if he can furlough and then pay an extra 20% on top. Surely the government will say you can afford 40% of the wages so we’ll top it up. Otherwise what’s to stop people abusing it and claiming the max amount while the firms pay wages in full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And two hats like Gary Barlow who goes on television to get the public to fund the NHS whilst avoiding paying his taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
