ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[Deleted member 38674]

@Keiran will be along soon to tell us this is good practice from a business perspective and that we should do it.

In more paragraphs than that obviously.

Nope. Utterly abhorrent.

Good to see seemingly the whole country, journo’s and even their ex players rounding on this announcement at once too. Incredibly poor judgement.

So they save around 4 million and will spend money on transfers this summer. They spent 75 million on a defender.

This is gross

And a mere £43 million on agents fees last summer!

Disgusting, how can any of their fans defend this.

The same set of fans who defended racism just a few years ago?

No idea mate.

There really are no depths that club won't plumb are there, blimey

A member of staff who works at Liverpool, and did not wish to be named, told BBC Sport: "The club call their staff their family - I'm not feeling like a family member.

"Why is a club that turns over [millions of pounds] using a government scheme for its staff when other businesses are more in need of it?

"I feel disappointed and I'm feeling that this government scheme could be used by businesses in trouble."

The member of stuff added that they were "disappointed, especially after Everton said they were not doing it".

I'm so looking forward to the on line cyber #Nullandvoid party, it's going to be ace

 

[H.H.]

Ahhh that’s ok then, they pay 20% but the British tax payer pays 80%, it is entirely indefensible for any Premier League club to be doing this! Puts them in the same low life bracket as Mike Ashley and Philip Green!
Can’t wait to see how the “red media” try and spin this!

I said two posts later that it was a sarcastic remark and also a dig at the disgusting person who runs the club I support.

Makes the timing of the Henderson announcement yesterday all the more cynical.
