It’s not Ozil’s fault tbf to him but it would be nice if the players tried to do something to keep the staff employed.
Its absolutely terrible PR for them, it’ll cost them far more in the long term if they follow it through. I’d love new players to turn them down for the way they are behaving.
Yeah, could be anybody really. Marketing, engineering, project management, ticketing, retail. I went fairly high as it’s London. As you say, it could actually be around 2 weeks of a player who they can afford to not even plays wages.
If the staff are on an average of £50k a year, then “carrying them” for 6 months will cost the club (and it’s billionaire owners) about £1.3m.
That’s about £100k less than what is reported to be Ozil’s monthly basic (which they offered him even though he was playing shit at the time). Joke club.
Also, how are they going to manage the PR if they sign a £50m player or 2 this summer?
I appreciate that clubs probably have a few people kicking around in the offices now that they can live without, but with the ludicrous amounts of money in the game and the billionaire owners they are taking the absolute piss making normal people redundant.
Did you book a package holiday, if so it will be protected by ATOL and get a refund.
If you’d paid on a credit card it would 100% be covered if it didn’t go ahead for whatever reason.
I’ll be amazed if they do not reverse this, a club can’t be seen to pay some players a million pounds a month, but then send non playing staff towards financial armageddon by making them redundant.
I expect they’ll get an absolute barrage of abuse for this on social media, and for once, I’d agree.
If it was in a movie nobody would believe it was realistic. Absolutely incredible blast.
The death toll will comfortably be in the hundreds I expect, there will be so many that were rushing to the scene to help from the initial “mini” explosion. Awful.
