I had to get your attention as you were busy pompously deriding other posters like you know every fucking thing which you clearly don't.
So you are absolutely sure they are following a collective agreement based on ensuring the best outcome for low paid full time staff at spurs while simultaneously refusing to reduce their wage bill in protest at Levy's actions - even though it's first team wages that are one of the largest expenses Spurs faces? Which is the biggest threat to those low paid staff having a job at all?
DO you see the problem here? Maybe you could explain it to your non first team mate who could pass it onto the guys who earn the big bucks?
It takes a minute of googling but if you're too fucking lazy to educate yourself rather than shitting on people who do here's a link describing how players will take a pay cut up to %70 depending on the length of the crisis.
AFLPA and AFL reach agreement on response to COVID-19
The AFL and AFLPA today reached agreement on a deal for players to take a reduction in their salary for the rest of the year of up to 70 per cent as a response to the COVID-19 crisis.www.aflplayers.com.au
I'll let you take the time to see how many staff Clubs have laid off just to hope the sport can survive.
And this is a sport much more "socialised" that EPL. Which is to say I'll be keeping my AFL club membership regardless of whether there is any footy played.
Daniel Levy's job is to make the club survive until 2022. That's not hyperbole.
This thing is here longer than July. The moment this reality hits the other clubs is the moment panic sets in.
You just ignore everything I wrote in my post. Our balance sheet is great in "ordinary circumstances".
These are NOT "ordinary circumstances".
Our wonderful new stadium is currently a massive fucking white whale which will not be used for the foreseeable future.
Do you get that? Everything we currently do - everyone we employ - is based on 60, 000 people coming to that stadium at least once a week.
At least ONCE a WEEK.
That might not happen for a YEAR.
I don't think you, the "rest of the football community" or "the players" have quite realised what is actually going on - and will continue to "go on" with this pandemic.
The only way football starts with fans attending in the 12 months is with the consent of the population that "people will die".
Do you see that consent happening any time soon?
The players will take the same cut as Aussie rules players have or never have a job again.
Unless they go to China.
And that would be very honourable of them wouldn't it?
We do know. It won't happen.
Aussie Rules might re-start sport again by the end of the year - but only behind closed doors. And Australia has been able to manage this outbreak far better (as in limiting deaths/containing spread). even that is a very optimistic outlook at this stage.
Barring some amazing breakthrough or the virus bizarrely burning out (it's not if you look at Singapore) all mass sporting gatherings are off until a vaccine.
Any club believing we are up and running in a few months is delusional.
And will go broke.
