Most of them. Sadly, having skimmed the forums, there were still a minority who were incapable of removing the red specs and taking a step back. Justifying the original decision in their minds by saying that other cash-rich big businesses were making use of furlough as well - as if that somehow...

Shamed and embarrassed into a swift u-turn after reaping the reaction. They've belatedly made the right decision, but not before their true colours had been shown. What a monumental PR disaster.

We are football fans. We follow the game, we follow the clubs, we are invested in it financially and emotionally, we know a lot about the clubs, the owners, we talk about it. So when a high profile club does something that stinks, of COURSE it causes controversy. And any other large successful...

ANY business that is cash-rich enough to continue to pay its staff over the next few months should do so. This emergency fund is not in place to keep balance sheets looking healthy - its there to stop businesses laying off staff and going to the wall. Its there to make the difference between the...

Couldn't agree more, well said. The speed at which some of the biggest, wealthiest football clubs on the planet have handed out the begging bowl for public funds is absolutely sickening. We are (hopefully) talking about 3-6 months of this before things start returning to normality. Yet we're...

Just for some perspective. Liverpool raked in around £70m from UEFA for winning the Champions League last year, and in 2019 received just short of £300m from broadcasters. Thats not including sponsorship. So the fact they've now got the begging bowl out to plunder emergency public funds to pay...

Indeed. And I'm not saying that clubs won't eventually have to succumb to furloughing staff, depending on how long this crisis goes on. But to do it at this stage, to be at the front of the queue with their hands out for emergency public funds right from the outset, when the likes of Liverpool...

Thieving, grasping scum. There are plenty of other words for it, but it won't get through the swear filter. What utter, utter filth some of the owners of these PL clubs are proving themselves to be. It will not be forgotten.
