Spurs thread 2019/20

if I were a player earning £100k a week plus I couldn’t watch this happen without doing something about it.

Fucking shameful but not surprising from that prick.

As predictable as it was Mike Ashley being first to take advantage it was obvious Levy would be first to mention players wages. In many ways he's right though, 99% of all professions have all taken a hit, the best paid people in the country shouldn't be above suffering financially too, at the very least they should be doing what Barcelona players have done and make sure no ordinary member of staff is out of pocket. That goes for every premier league club.

The Rags will be asking for the state to bale them out at some point - just watch.

Think you'll find that most football clubs will be going down this route within the next few weeks. Norwich are the latest. We have no idea how long this is going to go on or when football will be able to start up again. With a predicted second and even third wave to come, it might even be two years or more before we can be sure that we have beaten this virus and crowds are allowed back in stadiums.

Many far bigger and wealthier companies than even the biggest football clubs will be turning to the furlough scheme. The alternative is mass unemployment on an unprecedented scale.

The more I think of it, the bigger disgrace it is actually. Why aren’t the players taking a 0.5% weekly pay cut.

Spurs’s average player weekly wage is £75kpw.

If every player took a 0.5% pay cut for a short period, that would save £3750 per week and more than cover all the non-playing staff, they could even take a 0.3% pay cut for a few weeks and it’d work.

Instead the tax payer is paying for them. What the fuck!

I guess they all will be eventually. Even city.

As close as they're likely to get!

All players in the Premier League should give up all or some of their wages over the next 3 months and take a view after that. Shame on Spurs Norwich and Newcastle applying for furlough.

Its not the virus which is the problem.its the global financial crisis.Football will be very very different when it returns....The financial crisis has been predicted by experts for years now.anyone not really understsnding why the usa added 2.5 trillion dollars to an already ailing economy has got a big shock coming fheir way...thats why everyone is on lockdown.

They’ve asked staff to take pay cuts, but not the players. Laughable

All players should have reduced wages now
