    football clubs on furlough

    If I am reading this right it's the non-playing staff that are being placed on furlough.

    The Tottenham chairman puts Jewish businessmen into a very bad light. Greed and selfishness are not the examples we need to see right now.

    Levy is not alone, non-Jewish chairmen like Ashley and the three muppets who run West Ham are equally as loathsome.

    Thank God we have a chap running our club who puts his staff and the local community first.

    I think BT is right. (Lord be praised!)

    It only applies to those that earn less than £250,000 PA.

    Full praise to BFC though

    they're passing on cost of paying non-playing staff to gvt. frees up cash to keep playing staff on full pay.

    should be playing staff taking the hit so that state doesn't have to step in.

    Agree with you 100% f_l_b. 50% of £150k a week would still help you to get by.

    Lots of contractual problems involved in playing staff taking the hit, although that would seem the correct way to do things if they are messing about with things. Not as easy to resolve as many think.

    I can see evidence of that in lots of other things too 59er. For example, it looks like we might start taking homelessness and child poverty seriously now.
