[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Low paid staff like the 'tea lady' to get 80% of their usual pittance. While nancy boy players (but not playing) who average £70,000 a week, still receive 100%.

I'm sure they are worth every penny.

They have a lifestyle to maintain. Mortgage payments of £50,000 a month are not easy to find. 

Let's look at this from another angle: If tea lady earns £200 a week and is furloughed, the government will have to find £160 a week to pay her 80%. If footballer is still paid his £70,000 a week, the government will collect about 60% of that in income tax and national insurance, that's £42,000. Enough to pay a lot of tea ladies.

Slightly less tax and NI than I thought, but nevertheless......

Spurs are using the 'bail out' scheme to pay their low paid staff 80% wages. Then using their own money to pay the players 100%.

Something not right about this.

Pretty sure there are more whippet/ferret/pigeon owners per square mile in Barnsley than Milan. Could be wrong though.

[Doctor Gollum]

Probably. Now. Not so sure a month ago...

Football expert Al 
I think you'll find the wage bill of the two Manchester clubs and Liverpool dwarf those three together.

[Rangie]

Footballers have been overpaid for years, can't see why it upsets people anymore,  bloody daft in my opinion but it won't stop can't bear to watch the game at all now.

If clubs can pay the wages they do, and still make £500 million, the the demand must be there.
Also remember, the wages people hear about are for players at the very top clubs. Lower division players get paid a very decent wage, but nowhere near what the top players get.

I believe that the Barcelona players voted to take a 70% pay cut last week. This was to ensure that the lower paid staff will still get their full wages.

Yes, I read that. I believe others have done similar.
