I would think you could furlough all of the U23 and U18s players and staff and just keep on you first team squad. Also, there is so much grey area around what is work and what isn’t. Could you technically send them away with a training pack at home and have them check in once a week with their stats. Not sure. Keeping fit isn’t working.
The grounds man isn’t off yet. He posted on Twitter last week pictures of his latest pattern on the Mem pitch.

I wouldn't blame Rovers too much if they did like a lot of clubs in our league have already done so. There's certainly a business case for using the scheme it as it would save us a lot of money and could serve to protect a lot of jobs. But morally, it puts a strain on public finances and possibly puts footballers in a precarious position when it comes to paying expensive mortgages, it would be quite a big pay cut for them if the club isn't topping up the rest. So fair play to Wael if he decides to cover wages for the affected period himself, he would certainly go up in my estimations if he choose to do so. Of all the shameful things about this club there is some pride to be taken in the fact that Wael continues to fund the club in this time. A cursory glance at Otib shows their continuous delight in what a basket case we are but the big elephant in the room is their refusal to look at their own house which contains a billionaire tax dodger relying on the tax payer to pay his staff. You literally couldn’t make it up. What an absolute sh** house of an owner. I hope all these billionaires asking for bail outs and relying on the tax payer are the first put up against the metaphorical wall when all this is over and we figure out who the real pillars of our society and heroes are. I don’t spend as much time on here as I’d like so if the question has been asked before I apologise but you do know where Dwane Sports Ltd is based don’t you? And do you know why that is? |

I wonder how this issue impacts on financial fair play? Potentially clubs taking advantage of the government incentives could benefit from having more money available next season than other clubs. I hadn’t thought of that & you raise a valid point of concern. That will not be an easy one to sort. |

If they cant afford to pay the ones they have got, why should they be able to bring more in? |

Just repeating what was on the BBC News a week ago That said they'd made non playing staff redundant, not playing staff, which I doubt they could if they#d want to! Anyway they've changed that decision to furloughing them following the Governments decision. |

Hopefully Premiership football will get hit with a windfall tax but lower league football was hardly profitable pre CV19. |

Absolutely, could never happen, but it will take the water when Sunderland will come out of this spending more millions having furloughed all their players. |
