I think it would be an idea if players particularly at prem level and many at Championships level all got together at their individual clubs and payed the wages of the none playing staff this as I see it would have 2 benefits it would deflect some of the criticism being aimed at highly paid players not wanting to give up any part of their pay, and of course it would help the none playing staff many of who will be on NMW or NLW whatever it is cllaed now.Not happy about this at all.
All clubs doing so need to take a good look at themselves.
Players should volunteer a portion of wages too IMO.
Sad day for football & NFFC.
How many of the non playing staff earn that figure? If a non play staff is earning.2k a month the club will be saving 1.6 a month on a person that might be handy doing some maintenance work. If the club saves 2.5 k a month a someone doing nothing but playing play station ( it's not as if they are training as a group), it's already an upgrade... after all the club is still paying the balance ... the truth is that it always the small that pay the price ...80% up to £2,500 a month.
That would cover less than a day for several of them

I'm printing the blue one on that link from pla.
Thanks for the link, the hole punch info is very useful!
This is particularly grim reading. Fortunately it's American and likely utter bollocks

We are well above Italy's curve and set to be the worst affected in Europe.
That is quite simply down to this government's shocking flirtation with herd immunity bullshit.
854 people died today. These people caught it 3-4 weeks ago- as the rest of Europe started locking down while Johnson did fuck all other than parading Cummings chosen experts who reckoned every other expert on the planet was wrong.
There is blood on this government's hands.
Worst day in Italy was 971. We are well on course to smash that and the peak is not even in sight yet.
Crewe,Sunderland and Portsmouth have furloughed their playing staff...You can't furlough players.
No one is going to disagree that it would be preferable if we could.
But because of the nature of contracts, the PFA and whatever, players cannot be treated in the same way as the 99.9% of mere mortal employees in this country
How? Surely they are being taken to court with that?Crewe,Sunderland and Portsmouth have furloughed their playing staff...

The IHME model is appalling. This government must be held criminally liable if it come anywhere close. Predictions of deaths;
View attachment 38576
The confidence interval on this is 55,000-80,000
This shows the curve. In a few days time we are projected to be at nearly 3000 deaths a day and won't come back below 1000 until late May
View attachment 38577
My hope that this is bullshit is based on two things:
1) we should know today whether we are already off the curve predicted. According to this, we should be seeing a sudden jump into the 1500's a day either yesterday or today. If we don't see that jump in the next few days we may well be off that curve. Having said that, we aren't even counting community deaths so we may already be on it.
2) their predictions for the USA. I fail to see why the USA would have so few deaths per population compared to us? Their president dithered longer; he continues to be a far worse leader of the nation than ours even in intensive care (and Johnson's hands are soaked in blood on this); their public health system is a joke, they have huge numbers of conservatives who will never take it seriously and their health system is not designed to even bother with those without insurance
I suspect the IHME probably have Federal funding, and are therefore making highly optimistic projections to please Trump.
One group I certainly don't have any faith in anymore is Imperial College London, who are the ones advising the government. Their models on herd immunity, suddenly changed to "shit we fucked up" have been at the centre of this fiasco..
Even yesterday these clowns were in the papers advising that schools can reopen because "it only makes 4% difference in deaths" and "schools can social distance".
Yeah, well 4% makes a big fucking difference to the teachers who end up in a box when they didn't need to, and you make have been able to social distance in your private school huge classroom for 10 students; bit when you have a class of 32 built for a maximum of 30....
I see Donald Trump is now criticising the WHO (US funded) for being too focussed upon China & that has caused the problem in controlling this elsewhere.
Most of its funding is from private bodies such as Bill GatesI see Donald Trump is now criticising the WHO (US funded) for being too focussed upon China & that has caused the problem in controlling this elsewhere.
There needs to be a public apology about herd immunity & then the subsequent change & denial & anyone involved needs to resign as they are lying, incompetent & responsible for needless deaths.
That is a very good article.Fascinating long read on the story of this government's fuck up
