    At that level, its pure corporate greed. Its taking advantage of a system intended to support those at the bottom end of the food chain. Disgusting behavior.

    But any player worth his salt will surely embrace appropriate training plans. As 'advice' if not 'instruction'

    Quite frankly Taylor, should have retired years ago. Someone stuck in 1970’s ‘Union’ (ish) politics. Created a job for a younger person with a fresh perspective (he should be in total social isolation given he is 75 years old). Allegedly on a £2.2 million salary. Also the PFA ‘may’ have been supporting his son. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/04/01/pfa-found-part-funding-organisation-has-paid-160000-gordon-taylors/
    This is where football becomes an utter disgrace.

    Fordy give over. Comparing us to Liverpool is frankly laughable. They made a profit last season of nearly half of our owners whole wealth. In one year!!! The group who own them are worth billions!
    They will probably make more from the champions league group stage than this club will in 5 seasons and they are furloughing staff? Absolute shocker and I hope people don’t forget this.

    Jon, you and Simon are spot on but whilst Comrade Taylor is still at the PFA on salary of £1mil plus there is no chance of them doing anything. Best thing he could do is call a strike which would be illegal, render players in breach of contract and allow Clubs to terminate contracts.
    This business of players training whilst on furlough is academic. As I said on another thread many days ago, in my humble opinion the season won't continue. Wimbledon in June/ July, off. Edinburgh Festival in August, off. French tennis next month, off. No cricket until beginning of June at earliest. Lower leagues in football and rugby stopped now. Leeds Rhinos furlough staff until June as a starter, it goes on and on. Think the SFL have stopped and heard from a mate up there the SPL will stop any day soon so training or not training is academic in my view, get planning for Season 20/21 to start November 21st I say.

    Would that be the same Richard Branson who on the 16th of March decided his employees take 8 weeks unpaid leave?

    I can understand this at the lower level, at the level of the Premier League it is pure greed, especially when the clubs expecting the Gov to pay their staff will table multimillion pound bids later in the year without any sense of guilt.

    That’s because saving £2.5k from a Premier League players wages is peanuts. And all they can do without breaching contract terms is to let the gov pick up £2.5k and pay the players the rest.

    It either needs the PFA to change its tune or all players at a club to choose to ignore the PFA and approach the club as a group proposing cutting their wage so that it’s the players choice not the club trying to force it

    Can you provide any evidence to back this up? Some link to a credible source of information.

    I am not sure what your income is, but have you given yourself a pay cut? Have you given your employee's a pay cut? Have they come to you and said we will take a pay cut?

    Are you donating the saved pay, subject to some profit after a reduction in income, to some form of Coronavirus Charity?

    Nope. The only way the players can train is if they aren’t being Furloughed but rather they take a voluntary pay cut (which the PFA is telling players to decline any such move)

    Behind closed doors would kill many clubs more than no football at all though. Most of the expenses of running the match still exist when it’s behind closed doors but you get none of the revenue. Atleast with no football the clubs don’t have some of the expenses and as we are seeing can try and find ways to reduce others to allow them to get through

    Agreed - including a normalization of ticket prices.

    Get rid of the carabao cup and leasing.com trophy since less people care about them.

    Remove replays from the FA cup first and second round where its predominantly L1 and L2 clubs playing each other anyway.

    More evidence that the PFA aren't fit for purpose:



    Especially embarrassing when you look at what the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig, Barcelona and Juventus have done.
