Kopparberg Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Depending on when the released players contracts expire, we have a small squad. Would be scary if it made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirksandallowl Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 You can’t put an employee on furlough purely to cover their annual leave, seeing how all the players are now on holiday I suspect it’s highly unlikely. Secondly the maximum claim on furlough is £2500/month so doubt many players would be happy with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All player contracts end 30th June, any player hasn’t secured a club by the end of July is also paid for July. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the team last season. Thought furlough had ended, probably just another made up club bashing rumour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I cant see this being true. Thought Chesterfield were a bit cheeky to put it mildly with they use of putting players on furlough who were out of favour with the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think that’s quite accurate I understand that there is a one month severance payment as standard at the end of contracts Not linked to a new contract, rather the expiry of the old one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shezzas left peg Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Can't see it, imagine the governent coughing up hundreds of millions for player wages even worse imagine that across all divisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Furlough is a maximum of around £2,600 per month isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 This is what really wee wees me off with “ rumours” and not just football. Why don’t people use their brains or google, if you don’t have one,to look at how realistic it is. If the answer is “ highly unlikely” why bother repeating it? “ ooh heard we are signing Brian Deane. Dem baldeswill be right pissed off” No they won’t he’s 62 years old, they will think Wednesday fans are morons for even considering it. Please think before you write. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaping Lannys Perm Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 So, to sum up: If you ignore the fact that football clubs are not allowed to furlough players (at least at our level) And you ignore the fact that the maximum monthly furlough is way lower than any player's weekly wages. And you ignore the fact that football has specific contracts that guarantees them pay until the end of July. Then there might be some life in this rumour. I'm sure there'll be some twitter 'journalist' with 150 followers reporting this as facts coming from anonymous sources within the hour. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
