Kid Dynamite 7179 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Tbf, we were as close to a money ball club as anyone else in the league in the days of Carr. Cabaye, Tiote, Perez, Wijnaldum, Sissoko, Mbemba, Thauvin etc. All cheapish purchases that had flown under the radar of other clubs because they didn’t have headline grabbing stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 14058 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Tbf, we had to fight off severe competition for Joelinton which is what drove his price up- oh wait no we didn’t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7179 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Definitely a dodgy deal. We lost out on Aubamayang and Lacazette because we didn’t want to spend more than £15mil. Yet Ashley was happy to drop £40mil on a striker no-one else wanted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl 175 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I didn't realise that even though Newcastle has the lowest staff numbers in the premier league with by far the lowest paid Chief executive, Ashley still has some staff on furlough.

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Company i work for turns over about 30 billion and has people furloughed.

I think football clubs are an easy target for virtue signallers. I think that's a fair point, however the furlough scheme was brought in to save jobs. Your firm is using the scheme to do just that as most of it's employees will be on the same or simliar wages. When the scheme ends 31st oct hopfully no body ill be paid off, but some might. The reason football clubs or certainly Premier League clubs are targeted for using furlough is because most of it's staff are on 50k,60k plus wages per week. Then they use the scheme to pay the rest of the staff on normal wages to penny pinch, well ashley does. The rest of the Premier league clubs don't. ( I think relagated Norwich are using it as well ) When the scheme ends I doubt very much many any staff will be made redundant. If a Premier league club can afford to pay those type of wages to many footballers, how can they possibly pay people off when the scheme ends ? Ashley is using the scheme because he can, legally but it's morally wrong imo. I can understand lower league teams like sunland using to scheme to save jobs of course. I think the JTS will for sure save jobs in the lower league, but not all them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
