Furlough Decision Reversed

Page 3 of 4

posted on 6/4/20

This has to be put into context - Liverpool only reversed because of humiliation.

Clubs like City, Utd and Chelsea dismissed furlough as a nonsense from the start.

So while plaudits are being dished out for FSG, remember what their initial intentions were.

Fans of other clubs should be grateful. We were the guinea pigs for what the executives of most other top tier must have been considering. Loads saying they’d turn their back on their own clubs if they did the same, now we’ve made pretty much ensured others will have to follow suit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You weren't the first club to do it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry, I meant big clubs. Should have been more specific

I was listening to TAW earlier they were saying that Frulough is more commonly used in America so maybe they didn't think it would be as badly received as it was, but you'd have thought they'd have gauged opinion in the UK first.

i was disappointed it even got to this stage, had a feeling they would reverse their decision as history shows they do actually listen to fans and have reversed decisions before like the ticket price increase plans. Still have to question why they didnt ask before, and prevent damage to the reputation, who advised them it'd be wise? needs sacking on the spot, poor very poor.

Some clubs might have no choice, but just like the ticket price inc our club theres no need, atleast not at this point. Some seriously poor decisions being made from them but atleast they've got the ball to hold their hands up and right their wrongs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
infact there was that much of a need for ticket price increases to cover stadium expansion costs that without even doing it in the end, it was such a success theyre already moving on with planning a second stand expansion sometimes you wonder who theyre trying to kid, kidding themselves.

We're well run in a lot of aspects but it worries me how they get some basic stuff so wrong.

Yes. United just announced no furlough. Same with Burnley. City announced two days ago. Very embarrassing if you’ve got Burnley not going down that road and they’re being threatened with administration.

Yeah American sports clubs get the tax payer to pay for loads over there. They do it all the time with stadiums.

Furloughing should be treated as the same as a club going into administration. Points deduction.

Won’t impact our transfers at all even if it’s say 300 people they furloughed , it would only be. Max of £7500 each which is c £2m - nothing in turf terms . That’s why the clubs decision to furlough was stupid. Fair play for reversing it
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you seen the last Financial Account? Go to companies house and go through the outgoings. See for yourself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes but the furlough scheme is capped at £2500 a month , so what the salaries are doesn’t make a difference .

Well, it certainly makes Spurs look alot worse to be honest.

Eh? They announced it like an hour before your announcement And they’ve already got players to donate 30% of their wages to the NHS. Stop trying to make out we are any way the same. You lot sold out and started to back track when the media turned on you.

An hour before, so still not anywhere near the same as dismissing it at the start, is it? And it’s after they’ve seen the reaction to our original decision. So you made it up so you could do your usual trolling.

A great gesture by your players to donate money, but nothing to do with this article.

Maybe United went through their finances and worked out that financially they are currently able to continue to fund non playing staff.

Liverpool obviously were not in a position to do so. Obviously they have had a cash windfall in the past 48 hours that has enabled them to reverse their decision.

Less money for next transfer window (whenever that is). The club is bleeding money but people prefer to get emotional without properly thinking of the repercussions. Oh well.

Yeah we should just let the public pay for it

You’re the one that Said it was an hour before, I’m going off the info you’re providing.

Who’s actually saying the club haven’t backed down due to pressure? No one, yet another thing you’re blatantly making up. You’re a terrible poster.
