Well done to the club for paying the additional 20% and for stating they are doing so!NEWS: Operational Update from Chief Executive Dave Boddy
All of the players and a number of full-time staff will be ‘Furloughed’ under the Government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.
Fair enough. If there's no work to do then no need for them to be working. Also worth highlighting the club are paying the 20% the government isn't paying so all staff will get their full salary.NEWS: Operational Update from Chief Executive Dave Boddy

Fair play that no staff will lose out whether it's players or admin staff.
Let's face it, League 1 players aren't on hundreds of thousands a week.

Not sure furloughing is going to work out like the government expected. There's an article on the BBC site that says the Treasury expectation was for 10% of private companies to make use of the scheme but polling results give 44% of companies saying they will furlough at least half of their employees.

Brilliant from the club, and puts those in the prem (Spurs and Newcastle that i have heard of) to shame!
The club should be applauded for it, hope it gets into the national media shortly.
You never have to wait long
You wouldn't mind if they donated 20% of their salary to the NHS, or other worthy causes.
This is pretty much a perfect example of what the scheme was designed for. People who have no work to do. What does he think footballers are doing at the moment?

Assume they would hope to offset lost ticket revenue by opening up ifollow to domestic viewers and / or extra tv payments to allow more games to be shown.just a thought does this make games behind close doors very unlikely as with no revenue coming in how could teams pay players who would be working
looks like this is going to happen, so fair play to them.
Coronavirus: Premier League players discuss pay and support options
I didn't think people could work on furlough?
Surely they can't see anything happening in the near future as they will just need to take them off again.
Player have probably been sent home with instructions for training alone as they would be at the end of the season to keep their fitness up.I didn't think people could work on furlough?
Definitely no work for your employer. Also, capped at £2500/month so some of the players will lose a chunk of wages. Mind you, the £2500 isn't too shabby.They can't work. Think it's a minimum of 3 weeks furlough, but might be wrong.

Most of the office staff will have nothing to do, not like we can even push season tickets for next year as we didn't have them on sale anyway and don't know what division we'll be in. If you take out the players, coaches, physios etc the club probably doesn't have that many staff.

It's a minimum of three weeks so presumably they've been told nothing is happening anytime soon and the players won't need to be back in training this month.Yeah I just meant if there was an announcement that they were needed to play again then everybody would need to be taken off again and back into training etc so it doesn't look good in the way of games being played.
