Nope. BRFC 1883 LTD are British based business, trading in Britain, employing British workers and paying British taxes. They are entitled to claim government help just as much as any other business is, in order to keep itself afloat. Just checking before I give up on football altogether. How does Dwane Sports come into this then? Appreciate they’re based in CI but never really known why (or bothered to look into it tbh)

Furlough caps at £2,500 per month - so when it says Rovers will top up the additional 20%, I assume they mean the club will pay the difference of £2,500 and their monthly salary? There is a far as I'm aware no duty for the employee to pay anything in these circumstances..... I'm not getting it, I'm on 80% of * all.... I disliked it because of the situation. I’m so sorry mate. It’s an awful thing to have financial troubles without the bloody virus. I hope you have applied for UC or whatever you can. Wishing you all the best

Just checking before I give up on football altogether. A great many companies are multi-national now anyway. The idea behind the scheme is to keep people who would otherwise be made redundant in work,at least that's how i read it. Surely our club are in trouble just like most companies are right now? So if we can make Bennett and Nichols etc redundant why aren't we given that they are unlikely to play for Rovers again this season even if the season restarts?

Think you would be on ropey ground legal making 1 or 2 players redundant

Think you would be on ropey ground legal making 1 or 2 players redundant Agreed, I think you’d have to show their position no longer needs filling. That’s why the EFL’s dithering could be costing some clubs futures at the expense of the favoured wealthy clubs. I believe if the league is suspended indefinitely then players could be made redundant and this could save many clubs. Maybe a HR person on here could give some guidance. Edit”: here’s the link www.gov.uk/redundancy-your-rightsSo if the football section is closed down redundancies can be made. This would need the EFL to act in the interests of the lower league clubs (1&2)

I think we all need to wait for Gasincider's take on this before we decide what this means for the club.
I suspect that if any of us have concluded anything but total disaster, we'll be wrong.
Swiss will also be along this evening to let us know that he's added together every single figure in the article and it's a big number ... which, in case you haven't got it yet ... is bad.

I see Luton Town are winding down, with Manager Graeme Jones having his contract terminated by mutual consent.
Sounds like they’ve decided there’s not much point having a manager at this time. Seems to make sense

Sounds more like they've decided to use CV19 as an excuse to dispose of a manager early, who's failed with his task of keeping Luton in the Championship.

This would need the EFL to act in the interests of the lower league clubs (1&2) Furloughing any employee is done to guarantee them not to be made redundant, albeit on reduced pay, whilst this pandemic is affecting business. The employee can chose not to take the furlough and the wage reduction but doing so may require them to take unpaid leave of have their employment contract terminated if the business cannot pay them their contracted wage. The business could also close as a “frustrated event” which means they would not be entitled to any form of redundancy pay. Even if the league is suspended, but the furlough scheme is in place and employees on it, the terms and conditions of the employment contract remain in tact from both sides. Of course you can make anyone redundant, but that would still cost the business, in this case the club, redundancy pay, or in effect a paying up of the contract, because the furlough scheme is in operation.

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52413053This is worth a read. Confirms what seems obvious, everything from the bottom up is getting wound up and those at the top are clinging on to wringing what they can out if the situation. In this context the top is European competitions. If UEFA’s plans were to be adopted it would would have a massive impact on the PL’s plans, squeezing out available dates for fixtures

Today's press states that they believe Boris wants sport to recommemce soon to lift the morale of the country and with businesses starting to re open with the blessing of the government so long as social distancing is observed, there could be a chance we will see the leagues re start in June. I for one hope so as I need something to look forward to, even if we are likely to loose most of our remaining games. Oh yes a good old meltdown or even a bit of jubilation is long awaited. Come on you blues. Now who is likely to play in our first game. I cant even remember the full squads names!!

Come on you blues. Now who is likely to play in our first game. I cant even remember the full squads names!! I think the plan has to be to begin sports again behind closed doors asap.Thats most likely to be in August- October.I cant see how normal footbal with crowds will happen for 12 - 18 months. We cant stop the lockdown until after we have a vaccine which could take 18 months,as if we do we will be straight back to square one. But somethings needs to bevdown as we are heading into a deep depression where 20% plus of the world will be out of work and the problems that will cause will make C19 look small fry.

Seems to make sense According to a mate from my village who is a huge Hatters fan (most of them are there) our manager is in the running to replace Graeme Jones.

Surely they'd have Nathen Jones back before taking a massive risk on BG?

Surely they'd have Nathen Jones back before taking a massive risk on BG? He's favourite but very divisive there apparently, a lot of the supporters hate him (my mate calls him Nathan 'Snake' Jones). Apparently Garner is third favourite 😱
