How about the billionaire owners instead? 

 

By all accounts the players took the wage cut with assurances that it would save jobs, and now people are being laid off while they're giving a 3 year deal to ****ing Willian :lol: being run by some scumbag agent isn't a good look.

Also LOVE how Ozil is being singled out, the only one who really wanted to know what would actually happen to the money he was giving up and has been proven right. Football players such an easy target.

At top level you are correct but if you were a player you would do the same.

 

Short career and could be all over with one bad challenge.

 

Also if you earn 350k a week but the guys who are asking you to take a pay cut are millionaires would you do it.

 

Put that situation into your job

They are allowed to do other jobs after football. Apart from that I agree with your post.

Arsenal players had all agreed wage cuts of 12.5% before these redundancies so guess they have already stepped up to an extent.  I guess the club could have gone back to the players and ask they go for bigger cuts saying if you do that we can save these people's jobs.  Who knows what goes on behind the scenes though.  

Ozil refused the wage cut horrible little rat

Must be a daunting thing to be a pro footballer but then have to start looking for a new job in your 30's.

Hey, but I'm sure they've got some banners saying thanks to key workers & the players got on a knee to say black lives matter.

 

Enough of the criticism you lot! Some of these players & directors are probably toiling on as little as 100K a week! Have you seen the price of a meal out in Covent Garden recently!?

Certain companies will make cuts in specific areas that aren't necessary.

 

My company has made some our finance and marketing employees redundant, due to streamlining. But we've still bought a £50k excavator and there's a new guy started in the IT team. Its not as simple as everyone taking a 1% cut to save others jobs, companies look long-term and for a football club, a player is an investment.

It’s incredible how quickly people jump on footballers, there are plenty of companies making redundancies but I doubt there top earners get slaughtered for not taking wage cuts. I also find it staggering that people expect an owner just to pay out of his own pocket where was this demand when John Lewis, boots and many other high street brands announced job cuts in the hundreds/thousands?? The business needs to be self sufficient and it also needs to protect its assets so players are by far their main concern! 
 

Footballer and owners are an easy target for the press and this nonsense about pay nurses etc more is just a dumb comparison, again it’s not footballers faults that they are underpaid! I ask a simple question would you offer to take 12.5% wage cut from your salary to save someone in your work? I very much doubt so!

On the bright side, if Arsenal are moving towards a more agent-led recruitment policy, they will get worse.

Honestly are they really paying folk off and giving more money to agents.

Given that crowds are unlikely to be back in stadiums anytime soon, could it be that at least some of these staff have literally nothing to do for the foreseeable future and are therefore redundant in the truest sense of the word?

they've just signed Willian whose agent is kia joorabchian who represents a couple of arsenal players (David Luiz and Cedric Soares... aye) and is friends with their technical director and director of football. Coutinho is linked too, guess his agent? Whole thing is rancid.

As someone with socialist tendencies the knee-jerk reaction is to think “Ozil earns bla bla bla” but that really is missing the point.

 

Football is a business that earns billions upon billions. If the game has that much money emanating from it who should earn the money from that? That’s the thinking here. You don’t want to go down the Recording industry route where you have music artists writing and producing songs that bring joy to billions across the world but only see a small percentage of the profits of their creation. The highest % of royalties an artist has ever garnered from a major record label is 25%. 25% of what they themselves created, the rest goes to the record company and their employees and subsidiaries.

 

Why do people pay so much money into football? The game. The players that play that game make that game. No players, nothing to watch. Ozil’s earnings are huge but in terms of the money swirling around the football industry as a whole it’s a pittance. So although I understand the finger pointing at him I’m sorry that’s short-sighted and not seeing the bigger picture.

However should they continue to employ people whose role is no longer necessary

 

There are no matches being played at lower levels and no scouting for example can take place...how long do you keep them on the books ?

 

New technology means new ways of scouting players and should that be ignored ?

 

How long do you keep staff on when there are no ticket sales, corporate work etc ?

 

Simply put it is not as easy to just say others should take pay cuts or players should not be signed to keep others in a job

 

To believe that football is immune to the current pandemic is just madness. It is a business and there needs to be money to run a business or it goes bust.............not forgetting that the income they generate also comes from success and not making signings and paying them the salary they require can lead to less money coming in and bigger cuts

And Aubameyang will probably get offered over 350K a week to stay.

 

I Hope football collapses, as the wages are just a piss take now.
