They obviously feel that the club making the most profit in the country, should not be cutting the wages of all non-playing staff, many of them their friends by 20%.
They feel that the club that is making the most profit in the League, and that the owners, one of them the 9th richest Briton in the world, should not be trying to "profiteer" out of the global pandemic.
They will feel that if there is a short term cashflow issue, the owners should be propping up the club, however they would be prepared to help if the club reverse their previously made decisions.
Did the owners pass the record profits back to the players/staff, no, so why should they feel compelled to help out the owners, when the owners have shown that all they care about is money ?
So you are inferring (or imputing) their motives but don't actually know them? Have I got that correct?
Again I refer you to the measures taken in the Australian Rules Football League. A sport much better placed to resume some form of economic activity in the next year.
Our future is not under any immediate threat whatsoever, we have best balance sheet in the land, unless this thing is still here for the next 5 years, at which stage there will be no football, and the world will be in hyper-inflation and it will be survival of the fittest and battlefields on the streets.
5 years?
That's how long you think any business has contingency plans for? Has reserves in place for?
Are you fucking insane?
If this thing goes for more than 6 MONTHS half the clubs in the country will cease to exist unless they've taken action to reduce their outgoings and taken whatever Govt assistance is on offer.
Don't you fucking get it? No football = no TV money = no crowds = no revenue =no sponsorship = EVERYTHING DIES.
Smaller clubs are actually better placed to deal with this as they they have lower overheads but EVERYONE IS FUCKED until football can start again and WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT WILL BE.
So all this holier than thou shit is just simply useless bollocks screaming into the void.
Again I REFER YOU TO AUSTRALIAN RULES. Check out the measures taken there. See how they've recognised what the problems are.
If we have a short-term cashflow issue, ENIC need to (and will be forced to) step up and invest.
We already have a cashflow problem. It began the minute the United game was cancelled.
The very fact you don't get this, is part of the problem.
Unless something extraordinary happens in treatment or vaccine in the next six months the players will be taking a %100 pay cut because there will be no fucking teams left to play for. except perhaps in China.
