Interesting piece from F365 this morning who has tapped into an existing relationship with an unnamed Premier League footballer in an attempt to get some clarity about what the players themselves are thinking at this moment in time.
The results are explosive and yet frankly unsurprising. Much of what this player says cannot be debated. To thrown over 500 employees over for the State to pay for, to increase the burden upon the body that finds the NHS is unforgivable.
One problem defenders of big business have with the objection that they should be excluded from state aid, is that they are only availing of an offer by the state, and not manipulating the system. They’re not doing anything wrong.
In which case, change the system so organizations as ludicrously profitable as THFC cannot pass their problems onto the rest of society via a legal backdoor.
This an identical situation with tax avoidance and tax evasion. One is deemed to be shrewd, the other can win you a free stay with the Windsor Group hotel chain.
Mr & Mrs Average who have constantly been just a couple of missed pay-checks away from the kerb – they need looking after. Employees of a football club that turns over the sort of money that would make a Cartel blush – do not.
The players need to be goaded like the truculent cattle that many of them are and simply told what to do, for the good of the nation; any of them seeking to protest should engage the services of a good QC and brace themselves for the sort of publicity that is normally reserved for serial killers.
If you are at all undecided in this matter, then I urge you to read the Football365 piece.
