The OFFICIAL Liverpool FC thread - Arne to Slot right in?

From what I can see, Scouse (and all other clubs) don't currently have an income stream to cover these wages, and even if they did, these staff would not be allowed to work by the government.

This is for an indefinite period.

Furloughing them is the only sensible option.

There is nothing to see here.

Exactly, the scheme is open to every UK business

so the club can afford to pay players on average 100grand a week but can't pay Lisa in the canteen £300 a week?

With regard to players, they'd be in breach of contract to reduce their salaries without agreement. It's highly likely that such as contract breach could see the contract dismissed, entitling the player to leave for free (or in some cases, sue the balls of them). Therefore the logical approach here is to put indirect pressure on the players to approach the club about pay reduction or re-routing.

Everyone else at the club is in the same boat as every private sector employee in the UK who is currently unable to attend work due to government guidance.


Surely, surely, surely anyone can understand this?

Very respected journalist Henry Winter has expressed his displeasure on Twitter. This is a tough one 4 Liverpool to ride out.

Spurs,Newcastle, Norwich and Bournemouth all doing the same so why not the same outcry when they did it.
Not saying its right what Liverpools owners are doing,but why the big furore now? I didnt see manfromdelmonte pull the todger off himself in the Spurs thread when they did the same.

The absolute fume and hatred against Liverpool, from using coronavirus as an excuse to do us out of a league to getting slated for this
Gonna make this league title even more satisfying! roll on!

Jesus mate, get over yourself ffs. Liverpool have won the league, it's not about that.

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Tbf if other teams have already announced this then yes the fume against the mighty reds is a tad unfair.

Hope the same fume meets the other teams when announced

[imtommygunn]

Have spurs not done this already?

[J70]

And just watch the rest of the clubs do the same in the coming days.

The sanctimonious hypocrites on this thread will not be so indignant and noisy then.

100% right. But they won't, because they're not Liverpool.

are you serious? Your club has scored a major pr own goal. Anyone defending this is so out of touch with what it means to be from the City of Liverpool its unreal. Look at the outcry from all sections of past players and fan groups as well as local and national media. This isn't what Liverpool as a city is about. Everton have said they won't be doing it and there would be equal outcry from Everton fans if the club did decide to do it.

Was J70 defending them? I don't think so.
As for the major pr own goal. By the time this bloody pandemic is over and normal life returns I doubt anyone will even remember or care that Liverpool owners were the 5th set of club owners to come out to say they were doing this.
Now, tell me how outraged are you about the other clubs who have done the same as Liverpool owners have or is it just Liverpool's owners that you are outraged with?

seriously mate, this is Liverpool we're talking about, one of the top 10 richest clubs in world football. Get your head out of the sand, Just because your a fan it doesn't mean you can't call out something that isn't right, in some fans eyes the club can do no wrong.
It's a shameful move, Liverpool is a city apart and this had gone down like a lead balloon in the city. Shows how out of touch some of the Irish based fans are, that they are defending it and refuse to critise the club, there's no defending it. It's a Mike Ashley type move, which says it all.
