Squiggle tips Saints at 51% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
I posted this about a week ago. But unless someone steps in - I don't think the weaker clubs will survive this. I just think this is alot more serious than we anticipate.
With what money? There is zero coming in.Wouldn't it be prudent to pay the players to keep them happy and in the long run, loyal?
i don’t think this is a club issue, it’s an industry issue.The AFL has (and should) take control with the club administrators. Players should receive their base payment directly from the AFL, less a % salary reduction across the board for players and administrators.If we are asking them to take leave without pay, I would hope every single person at the club from the coach to the CEO etc also takes leave without pay.
They all will be.Any news about other clubs doing this?
This makes me worry that we could be the first club in danger of folding.
Suspected this, read somewhere the AFL is taking over this element.They all will be.
It's not that simple. typically younger players would be on less money, older players on more money. however as a generalization a younger player would also be more able to survive on less money. No house (with mortgage), no wife, no kids. a player in his mid-late 20's... higher income, but higher expenses.I hope it’s not a flat 50% pay cut. The ones on less should keep more of their pay.
