Even taking morals out of it I’m just shocked Levy could get this so wrong purely on a business level. I know loads that were borderline renewing because of the football we were playing and Mourinho but this is the last straw for many. Many sponsors present and future will feel the same. Who wants to be associated with a brand that’s morally corrupt. I’m personally finding it hard to believe in and support a club that can be so lacking in compassion.
Would these be the same big sponsors who are also using thr furlough scheme. How many of these big sponsors will be paying the full amount if the season gets voided or will the be asking for a refund without caring about the repercussions. If we are going to have a frank discussion about the whole situation please use the correct figures people. The club stands to lose up to £200m because of this. We have probably lost 40-50m in just matchday revenue and from the gigs and other events. We make 4m on matchday weve lost concerts boxing etc etc. Coupled with losing a quarter of all sponsorship and prize money/TV revenue. So to say its only 3m when you look and say weve lost out on £200m then 3m is a big chunk to save if possible. Business wise it makes total sense. Morally maybe not but we dont know how many of the 550 are actually being furloughed. The article i read was ambiguous. We can all judge next march when the accounts are published. If we dont make a big loss then its shameful but if we make as big a loss as i think we are then it will sit fine with me. You all forget our net spend for this season and we are the only football club in the world in £600m of debt. Lets not talk as if we are cash rich like Man City or Chelsea
