Deferred payments are not cuts. At the end of the day Hibs players will have received full pay while they scrounge of the state to pay other workers.

SectionDJambo Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 We can only imagine the reaction of the Sun and Record, and others, if Hearts had furloughed the non playing staff to keep paying players full whack, before anybody else. It is unbelievable how Hearts are being attacked for trying to do the right thing, and not screw the government financial help, whilst Hibs and Celtic with be lauded as stand up people. It is beyond rational thought, and hard not to think there is mischief making going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky_26 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 it is despicable what they and currently english teams are doing. clubs like spurs furloughing their non playing staff with govt money yet still paying players 100ks per week. clubs doing that should be heavily taxed once things get better. i would say for EPL teams £100M maybe more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Furloughing staff is the correct business decision. Might as well use what assistance is available. However, given that this is a club who don't even recognise British Summer Time (they use some Celticky equivalent) its pretty ironic.

Locky Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 As bad as the EPL clubs that many of their fans are probably slating. They have players on £20-30k per week, but expect the government to bail them out in paying the wee guy who sells tickets for £9 an hour. I swear, this has brought out an even uglier side to modern football than I've ever seen before. As much as I miss going to see Hearts etc. I just feel so disjointed right now from the game.

Lowel is about as Irish as captain J T Kirk Of the starship enterprise. He's a tory donar (or was as well). It's a good thing the furlough for many reasons, but if a business can continue pay millions of pounds in other wages it should not be allowed to use the scheme. It's designed to help employees stay employed and have money to pay for things like food, rent and bills, helps employers with no business plan and stay a float and will also help the economy kick start. Companies using it to save a few Bob while still paying thier top earners are absolute *****. Just wait until all the shareholders get thier money and bonuses as well soon across the UK. Shambles.
