Well done? F*cking hell some are easily pleased. The club is claiming taxpayers’ money to pay furloughed staff while the players and execs get every penny coming to them. And you say well done?

Shame every footballer on more than 10 grand a week doesn’t forfeit a % of their wage permanently.
The greed of football & footballers is being shown up in its ugly putrid glory during this virus.
Fans realising there are far more important things in life.

Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Whilst I do find clubs furloughing staff to supplement players wages distasteful they have to do it to keep the clubs afloat. How many clubs will fall short of ffp when theIr accounts are released? Clubs were given no advanced warning of this situation and if the board had run the club with this scenario in mind then we’d be bottom of the championship right now by some distance as the other clubs would’ve continued to spend willy nilly. Good on the players for agreeing it, they didn't have to but deeper cuts will have to be made seen as it looks like we won’t have bums on seats in stadiums for some time possibly 2021.

And does football affect my life?....I thought it did....then I was kicked in the balls by CV19. Do you know what.... the people working on the tills at supermarkets...the binmen...the Swansea market stallholders who are prepared to deliver their produce to my family have a far greater impact on my life than any football player or any football club. Look up what defer means regarding wages. My fvcking heart bleeds for them.....really it does.

The fckers should have taken a 40% pay cut.
How does letting the club keep 40% of the normal wage bill help people?
The club needed to defer wages due to the cashflow issues (new and old) but the idea wages should be slashed for owners benefit is just bitter people wanting to punish footballers for being wealthy.
Until Sky and BT lose subscribers (those who say they don't want or need football any more) there will be loads of money flowing into football and the players themselves should be taking home the bulk of it. Competition among clubs for the best players drives up wages, not player greed (in most cases).

I was going to post something similar to this when I read other clubs players were deferring wages. Players should be forfeiting wages or get furloughed themselves but they are too self important unlike those workers who are earning their keep and possibly risking their lives. I know they are also easy targets to pick on as well as we are are going to be envious of what they earn but they are, in some way, now parasites of a clubs lifeline. Even if they make grand gestures like Gareth Bale, they are still sucking the profitability and viability of the clubs future if this carries on for the foreseeable.

If there’s loads of money flowing into why are we having to constantly flog players to replace them with cheap gambles?

Look what this total bell end is saying.
Yep, tell that to the people in the country who are furloughed on 80% pay and others who have little to no income at all with this situation we find ourselves in.
There have to be sacrifices made in the present climate, taking a cut in your pay is a lot better outcome than sacrifices others are having forced on them.
We all know that the money in top level football is obscene before this virus outbreak.. It was all forgotten about on matches when players were lauded. Supporters were part of the problem calling for multi million pound transfers etc. This was at a cost which was ignored. Let's hope that owners change their views but also supporters.

We need to very careful with who is setting the agenda on this one.
Footballers on big wages already pay big taxes which greatly helps our public service provision like schools, pensions, social care and NHS.
Rees-Mogg on the other hand has a company called Somerset Capital Mgt that has made £105 m profit over the last 5 years and has paid zero corporation tax. Why ? Because he has based his business in the Cayman Islands.
He did however get a govt grant for £6.7m to refurb his 300 bed ancestral home.
Dont be fooled by the big money men. This is another dead cat.
Beware of the Risen People

Keane is a w@nker and a bitter one at that.
What difference would say, Paul Pogba taking a pay cut make to a factory worker who has been furloughed? Unless he had written guarantees from the Glazers that it would be used for charity/support, I wouldn't take a paycut either.
Sure, some footballers probably are doing naff all with their wages during this, but some are giving to charity or supporting the communities they represent. Asking all Premier League footballers to take a pay cut (which will probably just end up in the owner's wallet) is silly - I think it's best to let players get their wages and hopefully use it for the right reasons.
