I am not sure that football clubs that employ a few staff will be top if his list when the whole hospitality industry and their suppliers are on their bottom at the moment - and they are in the top 5 or 6 employment sectors in the UK. Rumours already circulating that national name supplier to the food and drink sector is on the brink of administration.
And then there are those in the gig economy, those that rent, neither of which have been given much help at all yet but are massively important part of life.
Football can afford to help itself if the rich clubs did something for the less rich ones....

If small bankrupt clubs who can’t make ends meet because of years of mismanagement go under then so what
And what the **** has it got to do with the Chancellor if football clubs choose to play non league players £2000 a week

Having said that football in particular is less deserving than most. Anyone relying on the FA and big clubs coming to the rescue are likely to be dissapointed. Just wait to see them retrench when the TV revenue dries up.

As regards football, a club like Belper Town which has only one or two contracted players, and those not on much, may well be able to ride this out better than National League clubs with their squads of contracted players who need paying whilst no punters are coming through the gates. I wonder if we will see clubs in the National League + North + South (plus one or two divisions either side) going pop but the ones above and below them managing to survive?

I feel for you in the travel industry, being in hospitality. We are broadly taking more net cancellations a day now than we would expect to take in net bookings....

In think so, those with the lower cost bases will get through it far better than others.

So, spending £200k a month MORE than what is coming in (whilst in full operation) is being 'lean', god knows what the 'prop up' will need to be now we've got £0 income!

Shame it's taken a national crisis with the possibility of millions needing that facility to do so, though.
Yeah, okay, football as an industry is awash with wedge.
But the Sunak and Johnson who've pledged to address this issue are yet to put money where their mouths are: https://www.msn.com/...ocid=spartanntp

Must be some of Boris de Pfaffel’s love children (politely put) negging you. I know you don’t care about this trivia, but I did re-address at least one of them

Not a time for political points scoring. Not sure that its possible to design a complete new way of working and implement it for those affected by something like this in the time it takes to complain they havent done it. Especially whilst trying to also resolve how to deal with the health crisis too...
Do you think if SSP was much higher that suddenly sick leave will increase dramatically? I do.

That's a very Victorian attitude, Ian. Infact I can picture some bloated mill owner declaring 'If we offer enhanced benefits to the lower classes it'll just make them lazy and workshy' back then.
And it's not political pointscoring to demand the government stand by their own pledges. Health and wealth are inextricably linked, none more so than during the current crisis. Scenario one: bloke wakes up with CV19 symptoms, decides ninety-odd quid won't even pay his rent, so goes out and spread the virus. Scenario two: bloke wakes up with CV19 symptoms, decides he can just about manage on the temporarily boosted benefits so isolates helping to stop the disease.
Same applies to employees of Barnet FC, CFC, or any other business in Britain...
