"It is as a direct result of this extensive consultation and our own internal deliberations at various levels throughout the club that we have opted to find alternative means despite our eligibility to apply for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.
We believe we came to the wrong conclusion last week to announce that we intended to apply to the Coronavirus Retention Scheme and furlough staff due to the suspension of the Premier League football calendar, and are truly sorry for that."
Bullshine! It's because of the poor publicity that's spewing over from their own fans and the disgust from the public generally. Wasn't there an article in The Echo the other day bragging how they could compete with anybody for wages? They got it wrong and just didn't realise the opprobrium such a decision would heap on their heads. Canutes from top to nearly bottom!
