No complaints there from me.Defer means they still get all the money at a later date?
Rooney hit this square on the head when he asked if bankers , fund managers actors and other major earners are being hounded like football players, yes players get well paid but not the only people who do, a top footballer will be on 40 or 50% tax off their money right away.
Not impressed. They are being paid huge money to do nothing. They could sacrifice a portion of their wages to pay the other staff. Pretty pathetic to be honest.
We know they’ve agreed to collect some of their money a few months later. That’s about as much as we need to know. I mean you’d imagine the idea of small but temporary cuts was discussed because that really would benefit the club much more, and well we can fill in the blanks.
I’m not having a massive go, they have contracts and they’re entitled to the money, I just won’t be massively singing their praises or kowtowing to them for agreeing to collect some of their cash a little later than usual during a crisis, given they’re all very wealthy individuals.
it's on our website and RFC TwitterThe right move if true.
Eases the burden for the next 3months,season ticket money will be available after this period.
Aye very good, I don’t care what Rooney says and what other people in other walks of life get.
The players in my opinion should have took a wage cut and not a deferral.
I was replying to the point you made in your earlier post that players are not taking any cut but that staff will be furloughed and only receive 80% -neither of which has been confirmedDoes that make it all right that the players are effectively doing nothing and will still be picking up their £££.
And what’s the issue with them being paid what they are due?But they are not saving money in the long run, the high earners will get all their salary at a later date .
How - they are not playing and are not training.No complaints there from me.
I see they are furloughing staff. Morally reprehensible. Utterly disgusted by my club.
But you're agreeing with a guy who was having a snidey dig before we really know anything.
You can't really fill in the blanks when you don't even know what blanks need to be filled. Do we know if the club approached the players for a wage cut? Do we know if they approached them for anything at all? Do we know if the players accepted or rejected anything? What if the club said 'LADS! What are yous like?! Thanks for the offer of 99% wage reduction but WE WILL NOT ACCEPT! Let's do 3 months 50% wage deferral'.
We don't know anything. This could be a nice touch from the players, it could be shite from them or it could be neutral.
Surely the time to make snidey digs (or equally, heap praise) is when we actually know some facts.
If you haven’t been to work in 2 months and did not contribute as per the contract why would u be expecting a wage at the end of the month!And what’s the issue with them being paid what they are due?
And so they should. Are you unhappy with this or something?
They are using the deferment to ensure no-one is out of pocketNot impressed at the furloughing at all.
Use the deferment to cover the non playing staff.

Exactly what are they being paid mega bucks for just now?Agree with your sentiments here. There is NO football being played in the next few months... a salary cut until football resumes is what all clubs and players should be looking at.
What’s the alternative? The furloughed staff aren’t any worse off than they would be if the club didn’t use the scheme.Putting staff on furlough is piss poor from football clubs that are paying substantial wages to senior players.
Correct, in which I think is wrong.
Furthough the staff who will lose 20% of their pay yet the players will still get their 15k plus salary a week eventually.
It may, but given the club will still owe them a hefty wage in the near future, I personally don’t see that being the case.
Edit: and indeed that wasn’t the case, as confirmed by the club.
Yes, you wouldnt be expect to be paid if you are sat at home and not ablr to work?If you haven’t been to work in 2 months and did not contribute as per the contract why would u be expecting a wage at the end of the month!
Non playing staff furloughed too, correct decision. Let’s see if the double standards are applied on here.
So, we're doing the same to non football staff as Celtic did to theirs.
But in addition, the high earners are taking a deferred pay cut.
So overall, everyone ends up getting the money they should get, but the taxman pays 80% of the non football staff money for a while.
Fair summary?
By deferring wages they are in effect giving nothing other than a three month interest free loan. how Gallant
If you haven’t been to work in 2 months and did not contribute as per the contract why would u be expecting a wage at the end of the month!
How brave of them not taking a pay cut.They are using the deferment to ensure no-one is out of pocket
And by not taking a pay cut hmrc will get all their dues as well
Furlough staff at still getting 100%, whats the problem?For me players should have taken wage cut to pay for staff. Don’t agree with the furlough.
How brave of them not taking a pay cut.
Does that make it all right that the players are effectively doing nothing and will still be picking up their £££.
