Levy pushing the we need to find away to get fans back in the stadiums!

Yep no fans means bank loans fit most clubs or there owner to put his hand in his pocket!

Problem is even s % of the attendance say 10% ain’t paying the bills plus the planning and the time those fans getting in and out of the stadiums would be a nightmare! So unless there is a vaccine or by some miracle the virus just dies away bit like SARS has football clubs are going to struggle or even go bust.

Exactly what I was saying a couple of months ago during the furlough discussions. I think some people are only now beginning to realise just how big a financial hit clubs will take. Spurs have said that they expect revenues to be down by some £200m over the coming year. On the basis of the most recent financial results, that equates to a 44% reduction in turnover. That's huge. Especially in the context of costs remaining largely unchanged.

You were claiming that Spurs were attempting to furlough staff in the same way that parents are persuaded to sort their own oxygen masks out on a plane before their kids. Still waiting for a clearer explanation on this.

Happy to clarify the analogy again but I don't want to start going over the same arguments. There's nothing new to be added.

Parents = Companies
Small children = Employees
Oxygen = Furlough Scheme

Were it not for the furlough scheme, a significant proportion of UK companies would either have rapidly gone bust or had to resort to wholesale redundancies. Companies had to look after themselves first in order to protect jobs.
 
Spurs have played Norwich in a friendly and it transpires Norwich had a player test positive for covid. Apparently the players do not have to self isolate. Isn't this double standards and against the whole idea of test and trace which Matt Hancock called everyone's civic duty?
 
Eric Dier given 4 match ban and fined £40000 for climbing into the stand and confronting a fan. I know it's spurs so fuck em but I think that's harsh from the FA.

If the ban is immediate then the 4 games he misses are largely irrelevant anyway. The FA regarded his conduct as threatening behaviour. If he did that on the street he would now be regarded as a criminal with a suitable criminal record. Don't forget that both Bernardo and Dele Alli both got a one match ban for un PC tweets.
4 games is a suitable ban in my eyes.The punishment serves as a deterrent to future transgressors who may decide to have a go at fans in the stands.
If a City player was given a 4 match ban for a similar offence then I would not feel too aggrieved.

Spuds had zero shots on target against bottom club Bournemouth, agent Mourinho doing a fine job there i see.

But there media darlings so nobody will say anything .

Within the space of a week, they’ve had a goal disallowed because of a ludicrous handball decision that only the VAR official thought should have been disallowed and denied a penalty from a corner after a blatant foul. Both decisions possibly cost them points.

Isn’t karma a bitch?

This karma stuff has been said more than once, we have been screwed plenty of times. I think we can all agree as football fans its a farce, I much prefer human error rather than seeing it and turning a blind eye

Well there was much chortling when Jesus had his last minute winner ruled out against your lot, so no sympathy from me.

I think we can all agree though that VAR has taken the game we all love backwards, along with the handball and offside Laws which need serious looking at including consultation with fans groups. If they also adopt water breaks and 5 substitutes as a permanent measure that will be yet another nail in Football's coffin.

Sorry, I’ll remember where I am before posting from a City point of view next time.

I'd be surprised if he was still there in August. Surely they can't give him the next window.

think the only relief would be selling a couple of players and then poaching talented lads off clubs who are struggling even more, I can see them rummaging around for the next Alli, Walker, Davies etc. for pocket change this summer.

Levy has really balls'd it up though, which is nice.

I can't wait for the Amazon documentary. Not for the disastrous season they've had, the Maureen appointment and slide into mediocrity or the board meeting where furloughing was discussed you understand, that would be childish of me. I'm in fact looking forward to seeing another clip of Europe's longest bar and those fancy plastic pint pots.
