Newcastle United

Bodd

I hope I heard wrong.

Newcastle United have laid off their non paying staff and referring them to the government furlough scheme to cover their wages. Yet the playing staff are on full pay....

If this is true then some people need to get a grip on reality.

Wouldnt be at all surprised with the "lovely" Mike Ashley at the helm.
 
There's a whole lot more to people to point the finger other than than that idiot

On the other hand Barcelona players have taken a 70% pay cut so that the non playing staff don't have to go without.
 
Sunderland should lay off all the players and when the season resumes get the ground staff to do the ball kicking - probably do better and get promoted
 
It's not just footballers ....


Danny Care (ex England Rugby Union player) said that the furlough money wouldn't even pay his mortgage, so he should be paid by his club .

I know its a different scale, but it's the same principle.
 
The Prem are desperare to play even behind closed doors but that will drag away Police officers, medics and ambulance staff. They might still attract crowds just as when PSG played behind closed doors.

There has to be some compromise - BT & Sky want the games to be played or the league to compenate them if the season is voided, the clubs need income to pay players and don't want to void the season and have to pay BT& SKy compensation.

Players want to be paid but then they also do not want to get infected or injured by playing.

I'm sure Danny don't Care earns a good wage. He should be exempt and care a little bit more for the future of his club
 
Nuts.

They are living in a different world.

How true..

I was pondering lotto wins the other day.
Specifically, that Set for Life one.

Ten grand a month for either 12 months or 30 years, depending how lucky you get.

£120 grand a year. Sounds joyous :):)

And then you realise that a lot of Premier league footballers are on more than that a week. :eek:

COVID-19 has presented a hugely challenging and uncertain time for everyone and our thoughts are with all those directly affected by the pandemic. The Government's message is clear - stay at home, protect the NHS, save lives.



We are all committed to getting back to playing the game we love - but only when it is safe to do so. Amid the current uncertainty, supporters will understandably have a number of questions relating to the season and the clubs they follow, and there are no quick answers to how and when we will return to what used to be our football normality.



The Football Supporters' Association (FSA), Premier League, EFL and The FA want to reiterate that clubs and their supporters have a vital role to play in supporting the Government's guidance and ensuring community strength and solidarity. While there is no football, our sport can still play its part.



Clubs and supporters have responded magnificently with staff, fans and volunteers supporting those most in need in their local towns and cities. Fans can keep up to date with how the Premier League and EFL clubs are providing wide-ranging support for their communities, including the provision of facilities for medical use and accommodation for NHS staff. Clubs are also supporting foodbanks, transporting medicines and food and telephoning the most vulnerable members of society.



Many supporters' groups across the country have also shown just how valuable they are. We have seen official supporters' trusts raising tens of thousands of pounds in their local communities, donating to local foodbanks, delivering care packages and helping NHS staff. Read more about the great work undertaken here.



The work of clubs, staff, volunteers and fans is making a difference to those in need. The FSA, Premier League, EFL and The FA encourage all clubs and supporters' groups to remain in contact during this difficult time and, where possible, support one another in their community efforts. We also extend our gratitude to those football supporters who are key workers, and those who have offered their support on a volunteer basis.



We urge fans across the country to follow the ongoing Government advice, to provide us all with the best opportunity to keep fans and communities safe.



It is also important to note that any official communications will come from the Government and football authorities themselves. Please follow our official channels for this information.



As the situation is regularly changing, the Premier League, EFL and The FA will continue to consult the FSA and keep supporters updated on the progress made as soon as is practically possible.



Thank you, once again, for your continued patience, work and support.

What a bunch of idiots... Do we really need them to tell us to listen to government advice.
