Beeb now reporting scousers are to furlough non-playing staff. Does that include the media,?

hahahah

What a surprise the most sanctimonious club in the world.

Still will not be their fault.

But that mean they are now classified as state sponsored so open to more FFP , guess the answer

Just remember this and it is very relevant at this time. All of those Scousers getting on "Have your Say" on the Beeb, or in the press getting on about City oil Club, emptyhad etc. Every day , every week giving loads of neck about Oil city -thought they had it all signed,sealed and delivered.

The owner of our club and his management have shown impeccable manners, generosity and patience in this difficult period. Made all facilities available to the City , and the Government. And what have the Scouse done ? At least the Rags chipped in with City this week.

And Sleezeball clubs like the Scouse are looking to get tax payers money to help them out. Furlough my Ass , you are the owner , stump up the cash in the bad times, like you take the cash in the good times - That's what Capitalism is.

To think that our owner made more money out of Capitalist based Barclays banks absolute cockup in 2008 than the Rags are worth is , well laughable.

Not surprisingly those cnuts at the Beeb haven't opened up a HYS on the Scouse Article about Furlough.

At least ex players are having a dig.

No, but it must include PGMOL.

Has VAR checked it yet?

I kind of get one of the players' points about this - they want to have some measure of control over where the money goes when they give it up - can you imagine Ashley at Newcastle being altruistic and handing over a 50% saving (or whatever they agree to) on first team wages to the NHS? Because it will be the clubs that benefit first from any saving. The players were apparently trying to set up a 'pot' that they pay into with the proceeds going to the NHS and some other good cause (I think it might have been research) before that cunt of an MP chimed in with his bandwagon comments riding public opinon like the greasy little shit that he is.

You’re exactly right and the reality somehow seemed to be lost in the clammed to get at football players. Clubs should not be making a profit from this and if the players want to donate part of their wages, a charitable donation, then that’s what should happen.

Wouldn’t surprise me to find our players have something in place already.

The stat below was a good one. There have been 9 hat tricks against the traditional top6 since 2011. Aguero has 4 of them with five other players on 1

If all leagues are cancelled and the season restarts - what happens with Bolton? Do they start on minus points again? Technically it will be a different season.

And - possibly even more of an issue - what about Bury?

Good shout! It could get messy all this.

I see the players are starting to get lawyered up regarding pay cut, also they will be joined by pundits too -:

This is starting to get interesting

When I've said I am done with football I wasen't thinking of this.

Fuck, how I miss match threads.

Sane says he wants to see the season finished behind closed doors.

Unacceptable, sell him to Bayern.

Jordan Henderson is planning to build a multi million pound cheshire mansion, with a trophy corridor.

One comment was, surely a small shelf ( in the basement ? ) would do ?

You can hardly attribute his views to a fear of missing out on accrued appearance/goal bonuses if the season is declared null-and-void. It's very odd for him to come out with this.

"Istanbul, Istanbul , we're NOT coming ..... at the end of May".

Just watching daily briefing, 980 people sadly died past 24 hours, yet football elite still talking about playing behind closed doors to finish the season. How callous, you know what fans should tell the fuckers to play all future games behind closed doors.

They are quiet clearly treating the fans with complete disdain, perhaps the fans should return the compliment.

The Irish government have issued a statement saying the lockdown will continue until 5th May minimum, I suspect we will follow this given that part of the UK (Northern Ireland) borders the Republic.

Surely the sensible action to take is to void this season and plan for the next season, otherwise two seasons will be affected instead of just one.
