Fully expect the clubs who have said they’ll do this will announce a retraction and apologise for their “error of judgement” in the coming days.
Too much fan pressure for them to continue down this path now. Worse still, the government may yet deny them the ability to do this as they can still adapt the furlough system.
It would be quite the poetic justice if these clubs paid their employees on the basis of recovering the cash from HMRC and the government changes the qualifying criteria lol (which really should be a priority anyway).
In fairness to this government, which haven’t got a lot right, they rushed that rule out to immediately support small businesses and halt redundancies, probably without considering some of the implications that bigger business may take advantage of, this being a very clear example of that unfortunately.
For clubs like Liverpool and Newcastle, this decision will ultimately cost them more in good will amongst their own fan base (which ultimately converts to ££££ anyway). At best, it’s ill-advised, foolish and poorly timed, at worst it’s greedy, selfish and insensitive at a time when the country is at it’s most vulnerable.
Shame on them.

"Us propa reds dont agree" They want their glory but not the shame
Just under a year ago , Everton donated funds to pay the staff of a struggling North West football club . There is only one club in the city of Liverpool with any grace, class and dignity
They deffo will , their brass necks are a sight to behold .
may as well be renamed Taxpayer FC

To be fair there are a couple of them on twitter saying it is comparatively euquitable with compensation for the use of their 'anthem' without their permission, sort of making out it is like a kind of royalty payment.

Nah , I don't believe anyone would say that . That's the worst strawman I've ever heard .
Bolton
That's who it was . Bolton Wanderers . Everton organised food parcels for the staff , too

They also said they cannot understand why people have not stood on their doorsteps to give Liverpool FC a clap yet either, when is it our turn they said.

I don't think they are entirely against the RS decision to rip off tax payers here . Very mixed messages .
