Certainly not saying any scheme is perfect, just suggesting that other schemes seem preferable to ours. I'm not seeing any reason companies would take up our scheme when it means them paying more for every hour worked by an employee. Maybe you can explain the benefit to employers of the type of...

Its very imaginatively called the co-operative. Biamou has property there I think, seem to remember the club posting something about it. The flats seem pretty expensive for what you get.

Great news and love reading this.

The fact that our scheme was more generous to start off with is irrelevant moving forward. Just highlights yet another failure of the government to properly manage the situation. I already pointed out the French and German schemes existed pre-covid. The fact our system wasn't up to scratch...

Completely agree. The talk before the announcement was of a scheme modelled on the likes of Germany and France. This scheme seems fundamentally different in that it is in part down to employers to pay for the unworked hours. I've still not seen anybody explain why employers would take up this...

Spot on, people are busy arguing about the figures put out by the government but really you need to look at the ONS figures. There you can clearly see excess deaths, and in numbers that are substantially higher than the governments covid death figures. If the excess deaths aren't covid what is...

She posted on twitter that it was the other two that took them down.

That could be a post from here when SISU were threatening to leave the Ricoh for the first time.

Hopefully it will work but I'm struggling to see how to be honest. Seems to rely on employers paying for hours employees haven't worked instead of just paying them for the hours worked. What benefit is there for employers to do that? Personally not confident that relying on employers to 'do...

How can you refuse anyone entry or kick them out? If someone says they have an exemption you're not allowed to question it. From what has been said on here in other countries its been wear a mask at all times when you leave the house. Simple, easy to follow and totally unambiguous.

Absolutely agree that everyone has to follow the isolation rules. The report the data is pulled from seems to suggest that childcare and not being able to afford time of work as being two major contributors to the high numbers. Would seem to indicate that we don't have the right support systems...

When is their next interest payment and update on the state of accounts due? Thats the next hurdle to get over. Also have to assume lack of events will mean the valuation of the Ricoh will nosedive given that increased business was the explaination for the way the value surged after Wasps...

"The conditions will be set out in guidance which will be published shortly, then over the next few weeks the further details will be worked through with businesses and unions." Why does this sound like they're making it up as they go along. This is something that has been flagged up for months...

The talk going into the announcement, which given how this government operates presumably was 'leaked' to the media, was that Sunak would introduce a similar scheme to Germany. From what I can make out, and I could have this completely wrong as its going off a quick google, the German scheme...

Quick google says the average length of employment in the UK is 4.5 years. Given you don't get redundancy pay until you've been employed for 2 years you've got to imagine most companies could make a significant number of redundancies without paying out.

Seems they're talking about clubs in general losing £500K a month due to covid so you'd have to add that to their existing losses and then also factor in that the conference and exhibition business will have completely collapsed. You also have to wonder if fans will return as quickly as they...

Wasps are surely the example the government can point to if clubs go to them asking for money and claiming to be an important part of the community and therefore worth saving. Can't claim clubs are important local assets when happily letting them move around the country.

Reads that way to me. An important point here is that a lot of those who are employed in salaried roles, as opposed to paid by the hour, had to sign amended contracts to allow them to be furloughed. A lot of those amended contracts also allowed employers to reduce hours, and therefore pay, if...
