There won't be any social gatherings soon. That's how it is here in France and other countries. I'm not allowed to visit a friend's or relative's house for a social evening. I don't have any rellies here but I've got chums. Honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably won't happen, or at least not to this extent, but Chuck Schumer is proposing a $750 billion fiscal stimulus package (and what a package!), including direct cash transfers. That's roughly 3.5% of US GDP. Meanwhile over here, the Chancellor has pledged £12 billion, 0.4% of GDP, to help keep the country from tumbling into the shitter. No talk of direct cash transfers, but Richard Branson has got the begging bowl out for himself. We're fucked This aged well 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coooombe Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 The government are paying 80% of the wages of employees who can't work due to the measures they've taken, up to a max of £2,500 per month. Does this apply to footballers? If so this may save a hell of a lot of clubs from serious problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
