A lot of clubs do things differently to us as well. My mate's daughter was working in hospitality at both goodison and anfield at the time, Everton paid her during COVID because she was employed by Everton, however the RS outsourced their hospitality so she didn't get a bean off them (or the company providing the service).
We outsourced our hospitality decades ago for Goodison to Sodexo. It's Aramark now for the new stadium.
Wyness many years ago outsourced everything to save on the overheads.
Short term gains and bad deals is what we done under Kenwright.
