Gonzo79 13,601 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) I see Arsenal have sacked 55 members of staff, a week after winning the FA Cup. https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-health-coronavirus-soccer-arsenal/arsenal-to-sack-55-staff-as-covid-19-hits-revenues-idUKKCN2512BK Modern football is constantly moralising to its 'customers' about diversity, inclusion, equality and other societal matters. What a joke. Edited August 7, 2020 by Gonzo79 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I don’t think it’s a joke at all. A lot more clubs will need to follow suit if they want to avoid long term damage .... or worse. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,601 Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Just to clarify, I don't think people losing their jobs is a joke. It's the lecturing about morals and sheer hypocrisy of football clubs and authorities that are a joke (and not a funny one). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 6,129 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Not nice when you see them paying a dud £350,000 a week and supposedly considering offering an out of contract Chelsea player £170,000 a week and their owner increasing his personal fortune during the virus lockdown. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is a clusterfuck of too much money controlled by too many people who lack either wit or principle. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malangsob 1,203 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Yeap...expect more of this. You are gonna start seeing more lower level teams filing for bankruptcy (or whatever the hell you call it over there). Administration? Yeah that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
