Non-league and lower-league football clubs could go out of business if the coronavirus outbreak leads to a prolonged shutdown, according to the Dagenham & Redbridge managing director, Steve Thompson.
So what? Money. Money. Money. Ridiculous.
That’s really interesting. Really interesting to see what will happen to the crazy amount of money flying around in the business. No more ruining talented kids’ life by being manipulated by the clubs.
A lot of them operate in the arrears , unprofitably ...
Better a club is put-out of business, rather than, it's fans being snuffed-out of LIFE.
Stop paying footballers so much then, starting right now. And make them all sign a force majeure clause in future & do something to reduce salaries, transfers, agents et al which in turn requires fans to stump ludicrous amounts of money to support the game.
And I am sure all the fans want to thank Piers Morgan personally.
Can they sue anyone who has ever eaten bat?
Humanity is facing a plague, your worried about Football clubs , can you tell your theory to those who have lost loved ones, or about to lose their lives
Good. They might start playing football again.
Good, too many silly clubs and far too much money wasted on silly ball games.
Not that I give a shit - actually I think it’s brilliant - but how about those clubs rolling in cash bail them out instead of giving it to Ferrari & Spearmint Rhino via their players?
If coronavirus doesn’t the EFL certainly will 😉
The UK is set to become the next Hubei, but worse.
Spain situation....
It sounds like the Dagenham Director didn’t have a catastrophe managent plan or a risk mitigation policy in place. The risk of losses due to pandemic are cheap to to insure against (in a non-pandemic scenario) but some Directors prefer to go buy a new Jaguar instead.
Sending thoughts and prayers.
Turn the stadiums to quarantine centers.
Will.
Oh well. Come and support Arsenal instead.
Yay
