keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted April 15, 2020 1. We are contractually obliged to pay the players contracts. they could leave us "on a free" and sue us if we didn't. We can only cut players' wages with their consent. Blimey. I never realised it was that difficult to ask them. And in my post I did ask if we could refrain from hiding behind that because that only applies if we tried to enforce the players. I envisaged the club calling in the PFA rep amongst the players and putting it to them, much the same as others have done, that it would be in everyone's interest if the players would take a 20&% pay cut the same as most other people who are not working at the moment. The club has little if no income and may not have any past 30 June. How is that illegal, threatening, demanding? it is just common sense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellow_belly 226 Posted April 15, 2020 The players state that they are to be paid in full so that can pay more tax. That’s why they are not taking cuts.  it was said that our players were more against the cut because their wages will be cut when we are relegated.  but who knows. I would struggle to look ‘normal folk’ in the eye after this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenny Foggo 1,116 Posted April 15, 2020 2 hours ago, All the Germans said: It is most definitely outrage and the kind of outrage that people revel in and want to have. As Ricardo suggests, if it wasn't this furlough, it would be something else. I am not telling you anything; I simply do not know and neither do you. I find little value in guessing what may be going on behind closed doors and making assumptions - that almost certainly reinforce preconceived opinions - without the actual facts. If you want to make assumptions and be outraged, go right ahead, I will not argue with you, I just won't join you. No it is not outrage, its a question of whether it is right or not. You clearly believe that a club still paying hundreds of thousands to players, who are not playing, should then demand tax payer's money to pay for cleaners etc. You have no facts to suggest that NCFC needs taxpayers help, yet you just assume it is so... I'd rather the offered help went to the small businesses that need it, not a premiership football club about to receive £180m from sky. I will let you continue to be outraged at those that wish for higher standards from the club we love.. I won't be joining you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted April 15, 2020 TvB announcing that he's off, and expecting any notion other than good riddance has exposed him as the narcissist I always believed that he was. Now all we need is Trump to do the same, they can slap each other on the back all the way to hillbilly Hickdom where he who shouts loudest is the boss....then they can fall out with each other over misquoted quotes, unreliable info and who knows more about lesser spotted saharan tree frogs. You will be in good company TvB and we wont have to put up with your endless " I am right" posts. I never once laughed with you chap, only at you. Humourless and self regarding , your departure is a good thing. See ya and defo wouldn't wanna be ya. Much love WCorko. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flying Dutchman 744 Posted April 15, 2020 I never understand why individuals feel the need to announce this sort of thing like all the people they've never met on the internet should actually care, in any way. Mind you, considering TVB's usual standard of posts, it's all likely just 'look at me, look at me, why aren't you looking at me?' 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When my kids were about 3, we used to crack up at them when they threw a strop ,, they didnt like it but the strop was soon over. When they were teenagers the same tactics usually worked just as well. Methinks no one laughed at TvB when he was a kid, hence he takes himself so seriously nowadays I just wish he'd come up with that Webber Quote before he left us . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,658 Posted April 15, 2020 3 hours ago, Midlands Yellow said: Says the man who at first questioned the club using the furlough scheme. I still do on a purely moral basis vs what I thought personally the furloughing scheme was for. We are a small business and have so far still managed to avoid furloughing. The government havent further clarified so I'm not sure. However I raised the point at the time, the majority of those who are morally outraged at this situation seem to coincide with those who have been shouting for new ownership with complete disregard for any factors other than how big their wallet is. Which is why the moral argument falls flat for the majority who have been most vocal about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
