Some people just have a negative outlook on life and some don’t. What will be will be and I will make the best I can of the situation that presents itself.

He's made massive mistakes we know that,but he's been bank rolling the club a while now and lost millions. 1.I dont think DM would have come here. 2.I dont think BB would have signed a new contract. 3.the transfer targets are real we have been linked with. All of the above would be gash if he was skintos flintos.. So do we hound him out and put him down at every turn and be very careful what we wish for,or let it roll and hopefully bounce straight back..... Im as confused as any one. A DC statement of intent wouldnt go a miss at moment to calm every one down... UTO.... Thank you. In DC I now trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crikey. Didn’t know that. Sheffield Wednesday problems aside, it smacks of something when EPL clubs have been claiming tax payers money despite getting 100s of millions in TV money. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sponsorship is an odd one. I sort of get the principle of over-inflating the revenue by sponsoring and agree prices between yourself, but surely outside investment would complement and take the pressure off DC having to fund it all. I can only assume that DC get's a lot of tax relief back in Thailand for doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly the complexity is what constitutes ‘training’ Correct but training in the office is completely different to a professional footballers training as that is a footballers day job so I would think that is cancelled out gym work, tactical work, football training is not like doing a health safety course And yes I’ve had 32 staffed furloughed non of them professional footballers mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modboy Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 We used furlough for support staff. Not sure those in the article furloughed players did they? Even arsenal sacked their dinosaur to much outrage I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwë Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 There's a big difference between furloughing staff in the ticket office when there are no fans compared to players who are playing. Likewise, community departments, hospitality etc The four EPL clubs works out at about 55 staff each. Quite plausible. At the last count, Wednesday had around 300 staff including players. Wednesday used the furlough scheme, we all know this. We just didn't use it for the players. Until recently that is, or at least tried. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why people are trying to make out it's a competition between clubs It's not It's a dilemma about a billionaire wanting to come to the UK taxpayer to bail him out of a financial mess he's created himself, being rejected by players who he hasn't been paying properly for months and months and months, time after time after time Nothing at all to do with what any other club is doing 4 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I'm just shocked the players didn't go for it... What with them having all been paid on time previously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Yes, that’s one of many things I don’t get. So according to some on here, the players haven’t been paid for “ months and months”, and yet an offer for them to be paid £2500 towards the missing wages has been refused?
