Player Valuation: £6m
I read Millwall have done this yesterday, so already seeing it in the championship. They do say they will top players up to 100% though so based on say 20 players at £2500 a month from govt this is only saving them £50,000 a month as a club which puts into stark view just how tight finances are even in championship if this level of monthly saving is seen as necessary given likely PR impacts.Credit to making a donation to the nhs, but they're not giving up 30% then.
I thought the whole point of this was to keep clubs afloat and keep non-playing staff in jobs by allowing clubs to survive financially. I wonder wonder which premier league/ championship club furlough their players first, because lets be honest its going to come down to that. See how they get by on 2.5k a month then.
Be interesting to know what the remaining monthly player wage bill they still have to pay is. A quick Google suggests average championship weekly is about £8000 so on this and 20 players it will still cost about £600,000 a month.
