Players should be offering to save these peoples jobs, at the top level anyway. They'd probably happily see the people who work hard at the club lose their job if it meant they pick up their 100-200 grand a week.

It's a fucking joke.

Yip. But if they do I hope every one of them tell the clubs to fuck off when offered their jobs back. That also goes for cunts like Branson at Virgin and the cunt in charge of Weatherspoons.

Why can't the players at the biggest clubs not help out?

It is a disgrace that the PL clubs are paying diddy players £100k+ a week and claiming money off the government for folk on £20k a year salaries. I’d like to think this sort of thing would be a major wake up call and this should see the end of such ludicrous wages but we all know that’s not happening.

Are these people still working and taking salaries from companies? Ultimately that’s where my argument would be, footballers aren’t able to work but seem to be expecting to take home their full wage, so what’s the difference between them and the non-playing staff?

Rofl  They might need to pay the players next seasons money as well as this to get that over the line. Who is reportedly the braintrust of this idea?

How can that possibly be feasible man Warnock

Even if games were played behind closed doors, the players would effectively need a month long pre-season to get back up to speed. That's assuming a solution is found to the mess that is players contracts expiring before July/August.

Yeah fuck knows how contracts etc would work

Best just to fuck this season off, if we can get next season played fully then that’s a bonus.
