So you reckon a footballer at a lower league club been paid let's say on 20k paid by "your" club and for argument sake till next Spring without having to kick a ball (as some Scientist ave predicted Spring not me) and the clubs have no income then your happy to see the clubs go bump ?.
The only people who theyll dont give a flying have about EFL and non league clubs are the Premier clubs.Smaller clubs will go to wall.
Trying to draw comparison with a company 1000 all that , you can't. Were in unchartered territory business wise and laws are been changed and written as we speak.
What contracts they have now might be nothing more than bog roll by Christmas, torn up . You can't get blood from a stone.
Football will be lucky to get back before Christmas.
Prem will survive off tv , EFL clubs will drop like Bury. I hope the clubs see sense, laws are changed to suit, contracts thrown in the bin.
Lower clubs cannot sustain it, players will be laid off, contracts are worth fcuk all without law backing them
Let me guess, your a Utd or Liverpool fan Arsenal or Spurs
Bee in my bonnet
Cast harder m8 sh1te that
Im speaking logically, you're speaking passionately.
What do you want the player to do? He has a family to feed, a house to pay for, he's in no different a position to you! Just he gets paid more, so likely has higher outgoings etc.
Football clubs, are no longer clubs. They're businesses, and you run a business. Is it the employees fault, that the company is run poorly? Of course not. If the business goes bust, what do you think happens to the players(employees), they dont get paid! It's no different to any other business, when it goes into receivership, then creditors get paid first. That wont be the players/employees!!
"Trying to draw comparison with a company 1000 all that , you can't. Were in unchartered territory business wise and laws are been changed and written as we speak."
Yes you can draw comparisons, it's the same exact situation, you're just using football players/employees, rather than normal employees. Again, it's a business, it's not a "club". Those owners dont see it as a club, they see it as a way to make money.
Let me make another example for you. Clubs are bought by millionaires/billionaires, do you think those individuals pump their own money into the club, risk their investment, and get no return? NO, because that's not how a good businessman works. You loan the company money, that way you become a creditor, should it go bust. Ensuring that you take little to no financial hit, should the sheeet hit the fan. Much like the Glaziers have done at UTD, or the guy did at Leeds.
Do you honestly think Mike Ashley gives a hoot about what the barcodes say about him? Nope, because he's making money from the club, he knows its value, and he wont sell for anything less than what he values said club at. That's why he's a billionaire, and we're not. Bit like Jeff Bezos really, he doesn't care about his employees either, as he knows there is 10 more people waiting in the wings to take your job anytime he wants.
I like how you've thrown Bury into the mix. Bury didn't go under because of this, Bury went under because of bad management, and it's inability to make a profit. The key word here being PROFIT. If you spend more than you earn, then you're in the red. If you're in the red too much then you go bust. It's like running a house hold, if you get paid 1000 per month, but you spend 5000 per month, then you're going to lose your house pretty quickly. It's the same for a football club.
You mention contracts being torn up. A contract is a legally binding document, you know that funny thing "The law", im sure you've come across a few other laws in your time, are you suggesting it's ok to only follow the laws that suit you? You might want to review contract law before you embarrass yourself even more. If there is no break clause in a contract, and if both parties fail to agree then you cannot rip a contract up. You can of course, but then you'll be sued in court, and lose on the grounds that you've broken the contract unlawfully, which will lead to damages and other payments.
The reason lower clubs are in trouble, is because they rely upon gate receipts, and live week to week, because simply there is no money in lower league football, fans dont want to see it, and those that do want to see it, are a very small proportion of the population of said city/town. Majority of people want to see PL football, this is the sad truth. How many kids do you see walking around in their local teams jerseys, i'd say a very small %, simply because they want to experience winning and glory, so they support the bigger sides.
You'll need to cast hard
@silverdale, i'm none of the teams you've listed. I follow a Championship club, who've been through this exact problem and we had to buy the club back from the owner because he was simply taking all the money out of the club he could. We even had a film made about us
Have a read before you go off on your next little soliloquy.
