ecto Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Isn't that what has happened though? They can't play and can't train.Since the majority of Scottish football clubs are part time, would suggest most players already have an alternative income 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hk blues Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Won't the government only pay the 80% for people who would otherwise have been laid off? Some clubs will be able to make a case but not all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some clubs will be able to make a case but not all. They'll just put the players as furloughed, which the government pledged to pay upto £2,500 per month to.

hk blues Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Just now, Dele said: They'll just put the players as furloughed. Yep...but some players may refuse to agree on the basis their club can afford to pay 100% of their salary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitbafollower Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 2500 a month will be a pay rise for most full time players in championship and other full time clubs 80 percent would help support all clubs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regard to the SPFL, half the clubs are full-time and another couple are hybrids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so that pushes the number of full time clubs in the SPFL to just over half (23). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
