Clubs being run like that do not deserve to be bailed out by the taxpayers. That is just stupid reckless spending by those Championship clubs.RientO wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 4:32 pmIf there are six months of Coronavirus alert level 4 and there is a suspension of games for any period of time, I suspect a large number of clubs will go to the wall. From what I heard on Talk Sport earlier, many Championship clubs were running with player's salaries at over 100% of turnover; Reading at nearly 200%.
Ironically as Travis stated earlier, Teague and himself can afford to prop up Orient as the shortfall is only £1.5 million. Won't be the case for Championship clubs.
No, that is not what I said at all. It is not even anything near what I said.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 4:29 pm Spen, what you're saying is that the govt wouldnt bailout one company if their competitor has loadsa money.
I dont think they'd bailout anyone except their mates personally.

If they are bailed out by the taxpayers they will just continue reckless fiscal policies.
Will the taxpayers bail me out if I choose to spend several times my income?

Following the extraordinary events of today do you still think you were right and the club, RE, medics and our chairman were wrong? Or were you simply mislead by the factual statements you obtained from journalists and other ‘well informed’ people.BiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 10:54 pmKeep your head in the sand.Winchesterfan wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 10:03 pm BM.

Until proved otherwise I’ll accept what the club, RE and the medics have said. They were present but you weren’t , nor was I or the journalist from the Guardian.

If any of our players, or anyone close to them become seriously ill as a result of this, LOFC is in deep doo-doo.
I found it slightly odd, before the positive results, that he was ultra keen to stress that it wasn't covid in his post-match interview. Literally the first thing he did. And as you say, why say that in such a confident manner knowing that no one had been tested yet? really strange.OyinbO wrote: ↑Wed Sep 23, 2020 9:32 amIf any of our players, or anyone close to them become seriously ill as a result of this, LOFC is in deep doo-doo.
Look at it this way, if your employer had required you to come to work in the middle of a pandemic, when you were showing symptoms, and didn't require you to be tested - you'd say they were seriously negligent, wouldn't you?
Eighteen players tested positive! Eighteen! We are riddled with it. And Fumbleton is on public record admitting there was illness in the camp, assuring us that it wasn't COVID - *even though none of them had been tested*. If this had been in March, you might have been more sympathetic, but this is after the world has been talking about little else for half a year. Absolutely cretinous. This will cost T&T a lot of money one way or another.
We don't know how much pressure was put on the players to turn up for work regardless. But given the vibe coming from Embleton, what we're hearing about Ling & Patel, and the general pressure on the sport to "get on with it", I'd say it was significant.
Perhaps they couldn't get one locally and didn't fancy the return trip to Cardiff.
It is not as cut and dried as that though is it?OyinbO wrote: ↑Wed Sep 23, 2020 10:07 am Some players had flu like symptoms. It was the middle of September and it was sunny and warm. The pandemic has been in the news for 6 months.
I mean, you'd have to be a special kind of dense to not even think "maybe we should organise a test, or just send the guy home", wouldn't you?
If it was a Leicester sweatshop (or your own employer) that had behaved like this, you'd all be screaming blue murder.
I personally have had 2 tests ( ongoing illnesses ) All clear , my wife can't even get a flu jab cos she's 64 and they reckon they only have a flu vaccine for over 65s ☹ they say they have run out of under 65 vaccines , apparently there are 2 different vaccines Really? I don't think so. We're not into cold & flu season yet, and people haven't been in as much contact with one another over the last few months as in a normal year.
