I think breifings and one-way updates work ok over VC, but always hated having meetings that require debate over VC, especially mutli-office or with some people in a room and some over the video link. There's always a delay and it's always hard to get a word in / get your point across. In my opinion anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck by the way! We arrived at Southmead at 2pm Monday and no baby yet!

Reducing the number of episodes per week from 4 to 2 also. Probably just as well. If it's still as miserable as it's always been then in the current climate it might push a few people who are feeling down over the edge.

Mr Popodopolous Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) 20 hours ago, Bristol Rob said: There is an assumption that because footballers earned more over their short careers they are in a position of disposable cash they can spare. If you have an (say on average) ten year career, you'd not find a lender who is going to give you a 25 year mortgage on your 3 million quid house. You'll be shelling out a fortune on repayments and critical illness cover so that if you career comes to a premature end you aren't homeless, likewise trying to get a suitable pension pot in place for the end of a short career is going to be a stretch. Yes, there will be some players who can probably afford it, but a lot of players already give strongly to charities. I don't think it's for players to do anything. Often agree with you, but tbh we're in a national emergency- indeed, not just national, but a pandemic FFS. I understand business imperatives but deferral- and clearly the further down you go, the less feasible this is, but deferral at minimum should be something they consider for a while. Because remember as well as the symbolism, that there will be low paid or below average paid staff at the clubs who don't necessarily get paid during this- staff on matchday as well, often low paid- catering, cleaning, variety of others- plus beyond football, pubs, restaurants in the vicinity of the clubs will be very hard hit. Either we all make sacrifices or we shouldn't bother- that Stranraer player led the way tbh. It's a cliche but those with least can often do most.
