Best – how communities have come together to support those who are the most vulnerable. And that I haven’t lost my plumbing skills!
Worst – how my senior management have struggled to work from home, and insisted on taking a space in the socially distant re-configured building to micro-manage whilst sat behind a 4g laptop, meaning less producers can be productive.
Possibly by extending the length of the contract, but reducing the weekly wage?
If someone is being paid £10K a week and his contract expires in June 2021, offer him a £7K a week new deal until June 2023. Immediate saving. If player refuses, there’s a 90% chance nobody else will be offering £10K a week in June 2021, so he’d be unemployed, or on even less
Obviously this only applies to a player the club would like to retain.
The rent is a % of the matchday income so………One of the upsides of being fat gravy-stained cuckoo lodgers with no assets is that 100% of the upkeep of the stadium that nobody can use for God knows how long is the responsibility of the landlord.
Hope those Royal boys have deep pockets….
And with news coming from the barcodes mutt life must be hell for you. Imagine how insufferable the feckers will be when the takeover goes through. Hope it’s a false dawnFrankly, I couldn’t give a shit about them at the best of times – in the current climate, I really couldn’t give a shit about them!
We’re two divisions apart and wont be playing as evenly matched equals for many years – in my eyes, we are no longer rivals and they are as relevant to me as Man Utd, Everton or Leicester.
On a separate matter – welcome back Bullitt who seems to have broken back in after a few months of exile. I note that a national emergency hasn’t affected your petty mindedness.
I’m on a rota to go into work, which is on skeleton manning (about 12 on my floor instead of 50). I was in the week before Easter, last Tuesday and my next time in is next Thursday, then 1 May. I have bits that I can do from home, but there is not much demand for what my organisation produce at the moment, so I am on a health kick, walking around 15,000 steps a day, PE with Joe Wicks, fixing my fence, keeping the garden tidy and burning meat on my BBQ that I got for Christmas. We all sit together and eat each evening which is quite novel.
Oh, and we got a puppy seeing as my wife is furloughed and my daughters uni is suspended until September.
Do you seriously think cross-border travel is going to be as it was come September? Countries are dealing with this on an individual basis. Some will still have bans on entry or at the very least quarantine procedures. How would playing, for example, Spartak Moscow, work if Russia has a 14 day mandatory quarantine for any non-Russian entering the country? And before you say “play away/neutral”, is that fair on the non-Russian Spartak players who would either not travel or be back in quarantine after the game, and would then be unavailable for the next match.
I know that there’s a lot of money, but its only for the select few clubs, and if the Olympics can be delayed for 12 months, a competition for very rich football clubs can be binned.
Maybe the length of time available to complete this season is dictated by how much football we want next season.
If all internationals & European competition were binned, along with the Checkatrade & Carabo cup, then the 20/21 season could theoretically start on 1 October and finish on 31 May, which gives until around 31 Aug to finish this season.
However, the way its going, the season looks more and more like it will be voided.
Not me. This is what I said when there was a rumour of a loan deal 15 months ago:
Happy to have him on loan, but wouldn’t be happy to sign him permanently. There’s a reason why Brentford loaned him out when they got promoted, MK Dons didn’t sign him when they got promoted and he spends all his time on the bench for you in the Championship.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52168692Still a good idea mutts?
Yes. I’m talking about reducing the average PL monthly wage from £280,000 a month to £2500 a month for the next 2 months. That’s £277,500 per month to the Government for each and every PL player. As squads are 25 and there’s 20 clubs, then that’s £277,500,000 to the Government to help the country through this crisis. That would pay 111,000 people £2500 a month for the next 2 months.
When I see what Kyle Walker blows £2500 on, I am even more hardened in my view.
Just to be clear, I’d be going after everyone not currently working but drawing a salary in excess of £2500 a month, not just footballers.
Plenty are taking pay cuts similar to what us mere mortals are in order to help club staff be paid, but when players have bills three and four times the size of ours you can’t restrict them to 2.5k you have to average it out.What bills exactly? I don’t recall gas, electricity, food, water, fuel costing 4 times as much because you earn £70K a week. If you have a mortgage (and I doubt many do at that level), then take a payment holiday, like the rest of society is having to. My brother is self-employed and doesn’t get a brass button until June at the earliest.
£2500 a month net is more than enough to live on when all you are doing is staying at home. If the likes of Liverpool paid every staff member the lower of 100% of their salary or £2500 a month, they wouldn’t be going cap in hand to the Govt for a bailout.
Watched it myself Mutt and seriously hope our owner and his sidekick have a little more acumen about them. As a fan mutt how did they come across to you. I think the chief exec is bonkers.Too much of it about the owner and Chief Exec. I was expecting a bit more dressing room coverage, but I guess the manager wasn’t as keen on the 2nd series (and the money) as the owner. O’Nien comes across as a very pleasant lad – the sort you’d like your daughter to date. But TBF, that’s exactly how he comes across every day and every game. First into training and last out. First to come to the fans for selfies and the last to leave.
Owner comes across as naïve. Chief Exec comes across as a “don’t bullshit me” guy, which is exactly what was needed after the last Chief Exec who had a £100K cryo chamber installed that only he used!
This season, they’ve been found out and exposed as a couple of southern chancers who bet the parachute payment on going up and flogging us for a profit. Charlie has already walked away and Stu is trying to sell up, but is still deluded enough to be asking £40m for a club he bought for significantly less, using parachute payments to part-fund it.
It wouldn’t surprise me too if it were a biological weapon experiment that went wrong.
As for it being China’s fault – it wouldn’t have got out of China if non-Chinese citizens had been prevented from leaving. Trump needs to look at the US citizens who were in China then came “home” if he wants to blame someone.
