ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Fair enough to hiim ^

The amount of the mutants trying to justify it is horrifying though.

Don't know what I'm surprised - "Suarez is Innocent" after all.

One of the quotes there is exactly what my RS mates were saying earlier "They are getting paid 100% of their salary" without acknowledging that the club were only paying 20% of those wages.

I don't think they are entirely against the RS decision to rip off tax payers here . Very mixed messages .

A spokesperson for the Spirit of Shankly supporters’ group said they were in favour of the move to ensure all employees received their full salaries.
“The starting point of this was when the competitions were first suspended, we immediately contacted the club and made it clear that we expected all non-playing staff to be treated fairly throughout the duration of the suspension,” the group told the PA news agency.

“The club gave an undertaking to do that which they’ve maintained throughout.
“The use of the furlough scheme maintains that commitment and it ensures that all lower-paid staff who run a variety of contracts will continue to receive 100 per cent of their wage. That’s got to be seen as a positive.”

Seems like they are in favour of staff having to go through the furloughing process. Lfc puts their hand out to the tax payers even though they made a profit of £42 million last year.

All very very unsavoury

Move along lads, nothing to see here. Looks like FOOTBALL journalists and FOOTBALL pundits and FOOTBALL fans are singling out..... FOOTBALL CLUBS or one shower of Gobshites in particular at this moment in time.

What a surprise- nothing on the news about it.

 

[ramacca]

I wonder if the banner is being made. Stay on message, protect the brand, save Liverpool Furlough Club

Scum of the world

 

[KaiserEFC]

Vile club that lot, surely their cultish fans can all see it now

Good amo this to troll them hard on social media while we wait for the big one, the Void.

Just hope the other PL clubs get to vote on vetoing this season, they will realise then they really do walk alone.

I mean , this may not have any context in the club deciding on 4th April to send a load of staff home at the taxpayers expense with them only paying 20% instead.

Liverpool will continue to pay their casual workers during the suspension of Premier League football.

With three games at Anfield being pushed back as a result of the enforced break, the club could pay out around £750,000 as they attempt to provide staff with some stability over the coming weeks.

That was march for the record.

What a surprise- nothing on the news about it.

they’ll all have received the memo: ‘sweep this under the carpet’

 

[peteblue]

The worst thing that could ever happen is the league being voided. While we would find it funny initially, can you imagine the outcry from them. It would last for DECADES. The "denied champions", the miscarriage of justice. Seriously, it would be awful. Just end the season, give them the effing trophy so they can be tainted champions, and get on with next season.

I’d rather listen to them crying for decades tbh.....

 

[StreetEndBlue]

Ok, there may be a few defending the club, but the vast vast majority of their fans I've seen are absolutely slating LFC over this stunt.

Just hope our club doesn't go down the same route as them.

I wonder if FFP covers government grants for paying wages.....
