Should’ve been done weeks ago but now is the time to accept our fate, furlough hurst and all the players and at least have a war chest for a playoff push in non league next year.

Honest question: What would happen if we couldn't afford the rest of the season and sent the team on furlough?

I suspect we could be booted out the league like Macc were


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Would it be only one league down? If so, then do it. Force the relegation, save the cost of the players wages and save us some money for the conference.

We could furlough pretty much everyone like we did with Ohman. We’ve spent god knows how much in January and got worse. In hindsight we should’ve given it to Moore / Davies / any one already employed and not signed a shot load of new / excrement players.

It's totally disrespectful to the integrity of the league and a disgraceful suggestion.

You can’t furlough Hurst as I doubt he’s been employed long enough.

I fail to see how a national scheme to keep hold of jobs is barred because it's football?

It’s also total abuse of a publicly funded scheme designed to combat mass unemployment. That’s not to say that others haven’t abused what is essentially a ‘no questions asked’ initiative, but it still doesn’t make it right.

We’ve already had the benefit of a significant grant in the form of the EFL rescue package - we just spunked it up the wall.

A number of businesses I work with have been investigated by the HMRC for making claims when there was no reason to do so.

Given what's happening in the NL integrity doesn't matter anymore. If it did the FA would do something about it.

I don’t want to be paying for years to come through my taxes for these fu.cking losers . Make them play on and have the ignominy of being the worst players in the history of gtfc.

Football and integrity are long gone. It's a business and you do what have to survive, unsavoury, or not. You work within the legislation. You don't hate the player, you hate the game. Money is paramount and I hope the buyers get themselves towards it.

It doesn't sit well with me seeing clubs furlough players and then make signings.
