Look at the difference in tone, Wasps heroes for not cutting jobs.

No mention of CCFC covering the difference.

Yeah it is.

Give the club some credit, the staff and fans are. They wont.

Here's another one, look at the tone of it. Drastic.

Compare it to when Wasps did it after giving their players a pay cut and staff on 80%.

Someone needs to challenge that robustly. It absolutely is and most of ccfc employees will be under £2500 a month including some though not all of players

It's obvious that people won't like that the club are going above and beyond what they need to.

Between the Telegraph playing it down and strange accounts appearing it's too obvious.

I’d be tempted to get Dave Boddy to add some figures into the ccfc article. Potentially missed out on huge pay days last few games. What will it cost ccfc to do this? It’s clearly screwed our ability to be self sufficient. Such a shame

Yeah it will be costing massively. I'd guess into the millions the more it goes on

I wonder what will happen about performance related bonuses? I'd bet most of the players will have a promotion or even a winning the league bonus in their contract.

If old Lego head is put on 80% he would still be paid too much. Fooking useless at best and why he is still in a job baffles me. Its not like the telegraph sells like it used to.

That's what happens when you get freebies.

Its fucking embarrassing.

Forcing their staff to take a pay cut is a good thing?


Hope the telegraph staff all get fucked off.

Yeah I’m sure that’s the plan and not to be an off shore tax haven.

It’s got no likes and 11 comments. It’s challenged. We out far too much stock in random twitter posts. It’s not reflective of anything but one guy.

Only if you make it mate. Clearly the view has no support on Twitter among City fans. The most prominence it’s got is us talking about it.

It doesn't now.

They still get support from the media when they get featured there though.

Its funny because not long ago I was making a conspiracy about the trust by pointing this sort of thing out and I was "paranoid"

How the fuck are the telegraph pushing that a pay cut is a good thing?


At least it shows they get a free dinner there as well as the other freebies.

Still, Andy turner might find a way to be negative about the club from players who left years ago.

Fair play to CCFC, at least staff will have some relief they'll still be able to pay the bills.

I actually feel sick reading that. Aren't they by law supposed to put "Advertisement" somewhere on that page!

I do however agree with their community message. I think they should extend it to include when the season re-starts....

If they're not allowed to work, does that mean they're not allowed to keep fit...?

Does it stop at freebies? I think the bias is so strong there could be some pay as you go articles being written by some. If anyone is tech savvy and has any spare time at the moment please do make a basic word press website highlighting the bias of the CET and let's do our best to tweet it and promote it across the city and beyond.

Well done to the club for paying the additional 20% and for stating they are doing so!
It's not obligatory to do that and it doesn't appear that our friends at Wasps are doing that for their staff.
Wonder how the Telegraph will report this!?

Reason number one - a game devoid of any skill (ref Wasps)
