Any team with substantial numbers of players on more than £2.5k per month (Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs) need to get wages cut, not just deferred. This is one thing that Ann Budge was/is absolutely spot-on with. Totally agree. Deferring makes little difference in this unique situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top teams should have a different agenda from the part time teams though, as they are completely different businesses. TV contracts, European football, large wage bills etc are not a factor in the lower leagues. Most part time players have a main job and the football is a secondary job/ hobby. He talks about addressing other issues for reconstruction, not just the pandemic problems, but is the middle of a crisis really the time for it? Not for me. Concentrate on survival and reconvene couple of years after once the dust has settled if there’s a big backing for restructuring then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Budge may decide to take the relegation and expected next year promotion as a short term pain for longer term gain rather than be stuck with a ‘permanent’ reconstruction that she doesn’t want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcor Roar Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Not particularly surprised to see some lower league clubs trying to push their leverage right now. Fair play I suppose. A slightly more equitable spread of the prize money wouldn't be a bad thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And such a supposedly astute business person is truly expecting all the other clubs to fall in kine and accept a temporary reconstruction JUST so Hearts can be saved and sod the rest of you?

Pet Jeden Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Chris Whitty has just said he doesn’t expect social distancing restrictions to be lifted within the year. There might be a miraculously fast development of a vaccine or he might be over-ruled by politicians on the economy v deaths argument. But failing that, our debate about league reconstruction looks somewhat irrelevant. Maybe let’s just see which clubs are still able to field teams in Autumn 2021? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats been obvious for some days mate, and is why Dempster jumped to the "how do we keep football going" group immediately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
