Let’s get behind the club as they create worthwhile distractions from the fact that a large number of low paid club employees are left 20% short of their wage.

Is that true? Aren't they topping up the 80% to 100%, that would be appalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is not Roy, but I may be wrong. Even the Gumps down the road are doing the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for being a 'family club' then. Anyone know how it is wages-wise at DCFC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I've not seen that mate. I must have missed that announcement while looking through the latest news section on the club's official site. I've seen some other championship club's have also furloughed some staff, but would make up wages to 100%, surely we'd do the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IslandExile Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Southampton - admittedly a Premier League club - are paying the full 100% of the staff's pay - not even claiming the 80% off the government/tax payer. The players are deferring their pay. We should at least be paying the 20% shortfall. Shamed by both Forest and Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie20 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 IF this is true then either Mel Morris or Stephen Pearce should explain the reasoning behind the decision. I hope they have a re-think and commit to paying the 20% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, stuff your fitness videos and personal interviews (i suggested they do these more informal things months ago to improve spirit around the club), I'd happily go without them if they'd pay their bloody non-playing staff.

i-Ram Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Just to say, my information is based on a John Percy Tweet posted on here Monday 16.10 (Are Derby deferring wages). @David offered his views subsequently, along the lines of “wait and see - a club announcement is to follow”. The announcement today did not cover. David and Owen are now both offline. My instincts are that Percy is right, which if so would be most disappointing.

I hope so too, then they can knock themselves out with all the videos in the world, but until then, seems like a distraction to take focus off the furloughing of staff.

Parsnip Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Must be skint. We've struggled to get wages paid even when the gate receipts were coming in. It'll be a case of asking Uncle Mel for some more of his personal stash of cash if we want to avoid this PR faux pas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
