Is this an indicator of what is on the way after all of this has blown over?

Taxes will be raised no doubt to pay back all of the money spent on this debacle.
I suspect austerity will be reimposed.
Environmental policies will fall by the wayside.
 

Bottom line, a shit storm might be on its way.

On the bright side, I'm expecting BCFC to be promoted in the next millennia or two.

It'll be interesting to see how the government tackles the post-coronavirus tax problem. The Tories have historically always looked out for their own, which means tax cuts for the rich, but with so many people heading to unemployment, the money will have to come from somewhere. I don't think austerity will be a serious option either: if there are no jobs, you can't hammer the unemployed with ever greater cuts. We may see a significant change along the lines of introduction of universal basic income, where everyone gets paid a minimum salary. It'll cost a fortune of course, but it might be the best way forward

How can I put this,three years ago some people were wishing elderly brexit voters dead,that was monstrous as well.

Agreed. However as some mitigation, that was a hugely emotive and bitter issue. This is someone gleefully writing about elderly people dying to save money. There is a difference.

As expected, there is always someone seeking to make money out of a crisis.

I guess that's where all the panic shopped hand sanitiser goes

What a monstrous paper the Telegraph is. 

Disgusting comment, although it is bemusing to read some of the comments on that article from people who would normally call others 'snowflake' for taking offence

One example to give which might explain where the money goes, was the purchase and sale of Hayles. The directors loaned the club £250,000 for the purchase. They had a sell on clause of 50%. So, when he was sold, the club got £1m and the directors got £1.25m inc their original investment back.

Is that true?! 

Good point. What's the legality of this? Could a Wael forget his financial investment and close down the club? 

Too many aimless punts forward from maggs and pack

Bobby has had a cracker today

Fulham have looked just like last season so far (atmosphere to match)

YESSS BOBBBYY!

 Mags looking pretty solid after coming on so far
