Walterbear 557 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 If staff are currently working for the club they cannot be furloughed. Maybe that’s the explanation. Maintenance, ground keeping season ticket prep etc. I’ve no idea. Just a thought. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand If you have a diminished income and the club are asking you to stump up £400, it probably is quite important (particularly if you don't want to miss out on our first title win in a decade). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand You can only be furloughed if you were in post as off the 28th February this year , also there is nothing to stop a good employer paying their staff 100% of their income , bad employers imho , like mine , are paying the minimum, I took the furlough because some of my colleagues with young families simply couldn’t afford it . The world as we know it , business , employment have changed forever , who knows how long real life as we knew it will take to come back if at all . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make them a bad employer per se, but the circumstances obviously differ from company to company. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think players earning above an appropriate threshold should have wages cut immediately - I don't know what that threshold should be but it seems right that players earning lesser amounts should have relatively smaller reductions. Without sight of detailed employee costs it's hard to say what scope exists for other staff cost reductions but, while everyone would like to protect our employees, the club needs protection too or there will be no jobs for anyone. It's disappointing but entirely typical that football's ruling bodies are failing to provide any leadership in this matter. That said, responsibility for Rangers lies with the Rangers board. Expand It's a matter for the club and players to decide between themselves. People always talk about this as if footballers don't run up monthly outgoings like anyone else. Who is to say what any given football player can afford to concede? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
