You must understand that football is a business sadly above all else ,clubs are run tightly and many will be in dire straights sooner rather than later .Not all have the resources of the Prem and therefore you should not judge our club too harshly if it happens ,the club has shown its true worth with other work it does but it still needs to survive and will do what it has to but be assured it will not go down that line unless there is no other choice .

Any club that does this and then has the gall to splash millions on transfers and agent fees this Summer needs booting out of the league.

Wonder of PFA will make a hard decision before the new season starts.
Can clubs who save money will have an advantage over clubs be allowed to enter the tranfer window or points docked.

Not sure if it's been posted already but a good article on DBB and the Everton response on the Athletic yesterday.
Claims the club have been planning what they would do if the virus hit the UK/Liverpool since January. Which includes (pay attention Kopites) paying all staff, including casual matchday staff to the end of the season.

Or cap their transfer spend at their inflation adjusted spend last season minus what they scammed off the tax payer

She should be the prime minister
Read that, but don't know how to do links on this kindle. Good article though, it's on newsnowEverton.
These digs at Liverpool FC and kopites are a waste of time ,they have no pity ,no concern and no interest in anything but the shirt/club ,they don't even think twice about calling ex-players .Time will show again how they are ,we all know where they are -at the bottom of the social barrel.
Highly unlinkely. PFA are garbage.

Ridiculous comments. Take Tottenham for example. Non playing staff furloughed, they’re probably on max £20k a year. So we have to pay for them through our taxes, Yet the management team are still paid at approximately £7m a year. Is that good business sense? It’s staggering that anyone can try to defend the stance of some of the EPL clubs. Proud that my club isn’t doing it.
I heard it on the radio while in the car on Friday.
New research but with the Corona virus everything is new.

This won't be popular, but I've just been on RAWK and I estimate that at least two thirds of posters on there are angry with their club's decision on paying their staff with our money.
That being said,, the remaining one third are grovelling around trying to excuse LFCs despicable behaviour.
I'd like to think our fans would be three thirds against any such move by Everton - but I can't see Everton stooping as low as the vermin across the park.

The past few weeks have shown what some are really like hasn’t it.
From the article
Sounds like a very impressive CEO and a more impressive person.
The club’s level of preparedness prevented staff becoming infected and led to the swift roll-out of the Blue Family campaign, which is now a lifeline for hundreds of people in the city.
Barrett-Baxendale will represent the club today in the Premier League meeting to discuss, among other things, wage deferral. When she speaks, her peers at the top table listen.
“She is very well thought of among the Premier League chief executives,” a source from the top flight told The Athletic. “I think there’s a recognition she’s not in this for egotistical reasons.”
It is her sense of social responsibility that also sets Barrett-Baxendale apart. She was instrumental in signing Everton to the Covid-19 Business Pledge, a commitment by some of the biggest companies in the UK to help employees, customers and communities get through the crisis.
Everton are the only football club signed up to the pledge, launched by former cabinet minister Justine Greening, and Barrett-Baxendale was swiftly invited onto its steering group to provide guidance to co-signatures such as BP, Experian plc, National Grid and DLA Piper.
At Everton, she brought forward pay-day and ensured that all casual match-day and non match-day staff will still be paid throughout the lockdown.
It means stewards will still be paid until the end of the season regardless of whether football returns. If it does, they will also be paid again for working the extra nine games.
“As an organisation with a workforce of full, part-time and casual staff of nearly 1,000 people we have a duty of care to every single one of them,” she told the club’s website.
