The threat of Coronavirus to ECFC

[edwin_price]

So if the players gave say 25% of their wages to the NHS for PPE that would be a win win situation. The players look concerned, the billionaires are effectively paying for PPE and less British people die.

Without a functioning and healthy society there will be no football, in fact ultimately society will break down to lawlessness.

My friends in America are telling me things are getting nasty pretty quick over there. No national support network means people are resorting to mugging and robbery, couple that with queues round the block at gun shops (deemed an essential business and allowed to open) and you can sense the possible outcome.

I think something along those lines has been in the pipes. Btw... Not sure the players should be paying for protective gear for healthworkers. As I understand it, the issue isn't a cost issue, but an availability issue. One thing football could and should do would be to protect the grassroots. Make sure clubs at a lower level with tight margins are taken care of. The industry involves competition between clubs, but they also rely on each others existence. You can't be a monopoly business as a sports club.

But it's hard to set all this stuff up quickly without it ending up a shambles.

I was led to believe that the money was there for the NHS for PPE but it was more a case of the supply of it not getting through quick enough?

Yes I agree.
But I think in the long term a gesture by the Premier league players could benefit everyone. I hope they can organise something soon.

I would also make clear that I believe the responsibility for a well funded and equipped health service lies with the govt of the day and no individual should shoulder the blame for the mess we find ourselves in,without PPE or testing for frontline staff and a huge lack of ventilators. This will become only too clear as overworked health workers are forced to make impossible decisions about who should get the chance to live and who will not get a supported bed.

Only today I received a mail appealing for help from engineering firms in Bristol to 3D print some vital plastic components for the Hospitals in the city. They have to use new components for every patient and only have 50 left. Desperate times and thankfully the industries capable of producing these parts are still around. You couldn’t do this if we all sat at home dealing in shares or were even incredibly talented footballers!

Something odd there as directors cannot be lawfully paid under the Club Articles. Does this relate to reimbursed expenses and include Mr Tagg's arrangements with his holding company ?

This particular "oddity" is widely known. It is regularly talked about at Trust AGMs and director remuneration is published in the accounts published at Companies House.

Directors remuneration is not shown in the accounts though (click on link) and is unlawful under the Company Articles anyway. The payments to Julian Tagg's company are disclosed.
