It's fucking sickening, int it?
It really is mate .
You've got all that greed in the game , i started work as a self employed painter in January after 20 odd years on the books , earning decent money for 10 weeks then along comes this virus.
Great time to go it alone !
Didn't have any work whatsoever as it was all put on hold indefinitely ,then found out i was exempt from the government 80% scheme for self employed as i started after last years tax return so was facing having to live on £94 a week Universal credit (if i got it.)
Fortunately i have found some alternative unskilled work for around 40% of what i was earning but i'm grateful just to be getting that at the moment so my savings don't evaporate in the next 2 or 3 months.
I just hope i can pick up where i left off when the dust settles.
However a lot of people have been lumbered in far worse scenarios than mine , then there is all the healthcare workers that are literally on the frontline working ridiculous hours in difficult conditions and people are seriously ill and dying so i won't feel too sorry for myself .
But when you see the greed at the high end of football it makes you wonder if you want to give them any more of your hard earned cash at all.
I seriously think attendances will plummet when football get's going again.
Football is cutting it's own throat.
