Indeed. My point, though, was this is likely for genuine need, as opposed to the piss taking by Spurs, Norwich, Bournmouth and (for a while) Liverpool, absurdly furloughing those in recipt of less than 5% of the total wage bill while leaving the players on full pay (that's what they did, isn't it?).

I wondered which club would be first. A club that has rapidly tumbled down the divisions while still carrying one or two players on unfeasible salaries would have been my guess....

OK. Cheers for that.

What do you mean by 'pay cut' though? Less money for the same work (a 'pay cut' in my understanding), or less work resulting in less money (not a pay cut as such; if you suggest this is a 'pay cut' then being sacked, changing job to one that pays less, and retiring are all 'pay cuts')? Did you...

My point was mainly about ambiguous use of language resulting in confusion and rancour. As demonstrated by you (and understandably so). It doesn't matter how I define a pay cut. The point is that there is no common understanding of what it is, so whoever is demanding that players take a 'pay...

My point wasn't specifically directed at you. I just happened to make it after reading your post. I actually agree with your proposals and I expect that the players will cook up some sort of arrangement along those very lines; once all this talk about 'pay cuts' is kicked into the long grass...

I think there is a confusion here. Some are talking of 'pay cuts'. Someone has mentioned Gordon Taylor defending why there should be no 'pay cuts'. If footballers take a pay cut they will be the first group in society to do so. Nobody else is taking a pay cut. But people are being...

I presume you'll class Spuds, 'muff and Narwich as Satanly, then? ??? I fear the hyperbolic bile of outrage may have peaked too soon. Lest we not forget, there are many NSC posters in deep dire right now. Too classy, or too distressed (or both) to comment on the folly of a football club.

I have always had a soft spot for Liverpool, yet I was outraged by their craven decision. I was consequently cynical about the recanting. But to hear Ian Wright on R5 tonight. Bless the man. He sees good everywhere. Who am I to argue? Well done, Liverpool. Onwards and upwards.

Decision reversed. Shamed into doing so by adverse response. That's all right, then :facepalm:

Don't bash the players. Not yet. That's not right. As for BHA....sounds like you're looking for an excuse to pack it it. There is not the slightest sign that we will do that. :shrug: Normally a thumbsupper of your posts ???

And this. On stilts. To think I was hoping for a season finale so Liverpool could reap the benefit of their excellent form. They can kiss goodbye to all that, now. And hopefully wait another 30 years for a crack at the title. The fools. :shrug:

This. Fukkem Plus we live to fight another day (season).
