Yes quite, but at least they still did right in the end. The same can't be said of Spurs, Newcastle and Bournemouth, yet.

How do I invest in that! :lolol:

I'm sure Liverpool have done much the same, but nobody is talking about that. Such a massive own goal from the scousers:- 1247137499689992192

All that shows is 120k people were right.

My experience of furloughing is drastically hammering the top and middle earners while us drones are left to carry on regardless. If IF companies come out the other end of this I guess a consequence might mean a lot less middle managers. I have no idea if that's representative.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2020/apr/05/what-would-shankly-do-liverpool-furlough?CMP=share_btn_tw Six months ago the Liverpool chief executive, Peter Moore, was asked what distinguished his club from other European football giants. “We had this amazing historical figure: Bill...

Did he not screw over the NHS a couple of years ago, as well?

There's also the question of timing. It's one thing to say:- 'I tried to make this work, but the open ended nature of this means the club can't carry on any longer' Verses 'Wow free money, where do we sign up to get even more?'.

When the Tories and their gimps start demanding players money, instead of their billionaire employers, it strikes me as more than a touch of:- 'these working class thickos, who didn't go to Eton and OxBridge, don't deserve all that money'. and when us paupers do it, it has a similar ring of...

Naturally I don't know the inner workings of the tax system let alone footballers tax liability, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's not wrong. Premier League footballers are all resident here so I assume they must pay the highest rate of tax. The same can't be said for all the sport stars...

The only slight mitigating circumstance for Mr Bloom is the club lost £20m last season. It's only made a profit once, last season. Was running at huge loses for the previous x seasons, granted that was Mr Bloom's choice. Sure TB didn't sign up for a global pandemic just as he was on the verge of...

For me it's the juxtaposition of (in Spurs' case) 'only' 550 people furloughed with Joe Lewis' £4.2bn personal wealth. I appreciate he, and now FSG a mere £2bn company, has his fingers in a lot of pies all effected by Corona, but a decent chunk of that wealth comes from not paying any tax, so...

I can't be bothered to rake up the Spurs thread. Unfortunately I also can't be bothered to find the specific maths either, but it goes something like this:- 550 people furloughed. Average wage £30k For 3 months (I think it was 3) Their combined wage would cost Joe Lewis 0.015% of his wealth...

You'll Never Walk Alone... ...Unless there's a global pandemic and UK tax payers are handing out free money to American billionaires... ...In that unlikely scenario JOG ON.

It's a shame everything is pointing to the club (Mr Bloom) following suit. I'd love to spend 90 minutes singing:- "we're proud of you" - But that don't pay the bills.
