Interesting quotes from the Chairman.
Interesting quotes from the Chairman.
I can't help agreeing.I think he makes a lot of sense.
The game in general has lost all of its income. Staff have been laid off. Players have to take some kind of cut.
That was my thought too. He says do players really need £3k a week...he pays himself double that!Will Scally forego his consultancy fee or double it for saving the club?
The problem is that at the top it's no longer football but worldwide entertainment. Again, the finger has to be pointed to the FA. When it set up the EPL as was, I'm sure the powers that be knew there was TV money to be had but quite how much nobody could predict. I'm sure also they had no choice in setting up the breakaway league with talk of a European league rife. But they missed out on adopting the German model for running top clubs and certainly missed a trick when it came to ensuring a significant chunk of TV money trickled down the football pyramid. I have a feeling who will benefit if that bubble bursts.But he is right when he says that it’s about time the football bubble got burst and football returns to some normality.

Heavens sake, they're not on £5 a week! They are not playing, so some of their massive (relative to the general public) wages should be expected to be forfeited.
Rubbish.Didn't Scally say their salaries ranged from £250 / week to £3K / week. At the top end of that I don't disagree but at the bottom end not as easy.
I agree in principal but just not as easy to do if a player is on the bottom end of that scale.
Pensioners don't usually have two or three young kids in towRubbish.
Try living on £150 per week, 'cos that's the pension rate.
… and football players don't earn £150 per week.Pensioners don't usually have two or three young kids in tow
We won't know until the accounts are issued unless he mentions itDo we know that Scally hasn't taken a cut? Just saying
Do we reckon the accounts will appear before HS2 is completed?We won't know until the accounts are issued unless he mentions it
So what is your point?… and football players don't earn £150 per week.
Who knows? The Govt has relaxed the deadlines on filing accounts and, if it applies, I am sure our man will take advantage.Do we reckon the accounts will appear before HS2 is completed?
