BFC a community club my ar$e
Tight fisted beyond belief.
They're doing FA to support the non playing staff who can't work because of the corona virus. They've let them go and leaving them to fend for themselves.
I thought the club was at the heart of the community. Absolutely disgusting.

Re: BFC a community club my ar$e
I think this was a good opportunity for companies to really show that caring side of the business, unfortunately so many are doing the same thing.
I understand there will come a time when pay cuts and redundancies will need to happen but those doing it already, that aren’t short of money is really disappointing to see.
This isn’t a dig at Burnley by the way as I haven’t a clue what they’re doing. Just businesses in general

Re: BFC a community club my ar$e
Cheers, well that is absolutely disgraceful. They should be ashamed of themselves, but doubt they will be.
Whilst it's not a charity, they are not short of a bob or two and could help them out, even if it has to be
repaid when things get sorted.
BIG QUESTION HERE :- Will the players be getting paid for doing nowt ?

Like all the Covid 19 scare stories. True until shown to be false. (Hopefully.)
Re: BFC a community club my ar$e
The club like to peddle this community club mantra, but in reality it's a complete myth, particularly in recent years. Despite having more money than we've ever had, they seem to be getting greedier and greedier. I'd hazard a guess that all catering staff and people doing similar will be on minimum wage.

Re: BFC a community club my ar$e
I presume that those people who have contracts will get appropriate support when the club ceases 'public facing activities' at close of business tonight.
Others, such as those employed as 'gig economy' workers (eg programme sellers, match day staff and stewards) will not get paid when they don't work. Difficult to see how the club could legally pay them as they aren't official employees and so the laws preventing back-handers come into play I would think, as does their fiduciary duty to shareholders.
I thought the government had a scheme for paying gig economy workers affected by the shutdowns?

Don’t know what you expect employers to do. I work 25 hours a week with adults with learning disabilities. All employees have received an email stating that there can be no promises about continued employment after April 30th. That is where we all are at the moment. Get over it. People are dying. There are going to be lots of people suffering all kinds of hardship over this. Get on with it.

IF BFC are laying off staff that is a business decision, rightly or wrongly.
This has nothing to do with the outstanding work BFC in the Community do. The OPs title is out of order.

Re: BFC a community club my ar$e
Wish people wouldn't be so judgmental. We know this is catastrophic to the economy and Burnley FC is a high turnover business, not a rich one. It would be great if the all businesses could protect all types of employees, but first and foremost more information and guarantees is needed from the government. People also need to remember that cashflow could be a huge problem for Burnley. It's not like clubs get ~£120m of TV money at the start of the season, and those players worth tens of millions of pounds still need to be paid huge salaries.

Not just us, but it's a shame that many players will be picking up £50,000+ salaries each week, despite many others in the country struggling on a fraction of that.
It's a pity the FA haven't put a little emotional pressure on PL players at least to ask if they'd be willing to take a 10% pay cut at least, with the 10% going into a charity to support the most needy who are currently affected.

Re: BFC a community club my ar$e
I would imagine that the running of the match day activities is a completely different business to the playing side and both have to stand alone in their own right. As there is no match day activity or revenue at the moment then decisions have to be made about staffing levels. This decision will be made on cashflow projections-or the lack of it. Owners of football clubs are in the main wealthy business men-they only become so by being ruthlessly efficient at what they do.

The players have made contributions and at many clubs. Players get paid a fortune, but they have lifestyles and bills based on that income. They also face an uncertain future. There's no violin out for them, but it's wrong to think that they are the solution to problems like this.
There's a lot of rich people in Britain and many of those have a lot more maturity when it comes to managing finances than footballers, yet it's always footballers who are the easy target.

Re: BFC a community club my ar$e
thought I just read in the last hour that BFC and players were contributing funds to help with the virus, different ways to help but continuing to pay staff for long periods is unsustainable but there should be something planned, can't comment on what it is as I have no idea regarding what there intent is.

from the Independent - What are Premier League clubs doing to help casual and matchday staff during the coronavirus pandemic?

EDIT - the relevant section
"Burnley
Discussions are ongoing with the club committed to doing right by their staff."

Re: BFC a community club my ar$e
Hi Billy Balfour. I drive the adults to their day centres in the morning and drive them home again at night. From tonight’s bulletin I may or may not be able to continue in that role, although I imagine the centre will close very soon. I anticipate the centre workers will be retained, as they can be used as drivers should the numbers fall, either before closure or after reopening. I’m sure the majority of the general public will muck in and perhaps recreate some of that wartime community spirit to look after those less fortunate than themselves. But let’s not be offended on other people’s behalf when we know have to face up to a difficult future for the majority of us who will hopefully live through this pandemic. Not a support worker by title but we all support as a team in our different roles. I do understand that individuals will in some cases struggle badly financially, but I wish everyone good health over the months to come. Some of us won’t live through it.

That's good news for all concerned. Interesting to read that the Leeds players have taken a wage deferral. It's good when everyone can come together and think of others.
