You still pay on tax whilst on furlough tbf, not that I think it is practical to expect the government to be covering obscene amounts of wages for footballers. I think a lot of footballers are going to be in for a bit of a shock in the post-covid world, as their artificially inflated wages are going to crash for a period of time as the amount of money ebbs out of football. In non-league and the lower echelons of the lower league, I don't know how playing football with empty stadiums is feasible whilst soaking up the player wage budget, even if drastically reduced. I hope to be proven wrong but I am not expecting any form of non-league football until gate receipts can be collected otherwise the cashflow problems for almost all clubs is going to be too much. I think until then the most prudent strategy for us, and indeed other clubs, is offering players a 'retainer' wage until the game can start with revenue streams for clubs to be in a position to pay wages. Furlough has a limit of £2500 a month so the tax on that is on par with the 2p down the back of my settee in comparison to the £150k a week of a £300k a week wage. Yeah I know, was referring to if the furlough scheme wasn't capped. It would be a non-starter anyway. |

the scheme or lack of it will only concern few players after the end of june when many will be out of contract anyway. they,ll be looking for clubs or leaving the full time game. their problem is who are going to sign them without any date for resumption of football with fans can be given. have our present part timers contracts run out anyway by this time. will the club go back on going full time for next season. so many unknowns.
