Howards back Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 They will get paid maybe not when they should have been paid but they will be paid.As for would I give 100%? Yes I would because I have some self respect unlike some of these players but I’m from an older generation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, given we are more than likely going down because of the 6point deduction then really it’s the Chairmans fault we are going down. So I’d be off to pastures new as soon as I could. I’d play as well as I could without putting my body at risk. I’m pretty sure that’s what’s happening as SWFC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you’re in the middle of a relegation battle that is significantly due to the actions of your boss. You’re going to be all out committed to that relegation battle? 7 hours ago, Big Malc said: Also bearing in mind that if you were out of contract and being offered a new one for the following season - knowing that whatever you agree to, the owner is then going to half whatever you’ve signed and you’ll have to lump it or find another club. You’re going to give your all to a relegation battle? Itk? 1 hour ago, 4evaowl said: Genuine question. Who in the first team is on £550 a week?

I would double down and work as hard as I can to avoid relegation so Sylvia the tea lady/kit washer who is on £250 a week doesn’t lose her job due to redundancy from relegation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's May day, a traditional day when we celebrate workers rights. Seeing people on here defend a billionaire owner delaying wages to contacted workers is very sad. Seeing people, supposedly working class honest hard-working folk, side with a billionaire that has taken things from our club and put in his own name, all in the name of business, rather than the side with the people who wear the same badge as the fans. Billionaires rely on plebs like you. You are the useful idiots that do the heavy lifting on the ground while they retreat to their mansions. You are the ones that would rather a foreign owner take everything from our club and community than see a fellow fan have a biscuit in a meeting. True. I agree with the principle of what you're saying. But by the same token you wouldn't have any of those players not giving their all and disrespecting the club in your team would you.....? Be honest. Managers, players and owners change. The fans and the club don't and they are who the players should be playing for. None of these players will be out of pocket at the end of the season and they can toddle off and leach off another club....if they'd have them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the players SHOULD have a relegation clause written in their contracts stating that upon relegation their wages will drop by a certain %. I would have thought that is standard practice in football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
