Evans is going to be very badly hit given his business focusses on mass public meetings.
He may let the club go into administration. It’s his perfect cover to get out and in any event he may simply not have the money. Lots of clubs could go this way.

I was thinking the same. People say he would never leave due to the bad impact on his business record, but this is the perfect excuse. |  |

Not just Town but football itself. Which might not be a bad thing. |  |

Indeed. And he won’t have a business to worry about.
He’s not going to have a spare £6m a year lying around so the club will go into administration. | | | |

It's funny really.
Footballers get paid vast sums and the usual argument is "well, they're very good at what they do and there's not a lot of them.".
It's a fair enough argument really.
But now, thinking about it, I wonder how much we should be paying epidemiologists, virologists etc. after the global economy had just absolutely tanked. You'd think, right now, they have the most important job on the entire planet. |  |

There's a genuine discussion to be had about what real 'value' we should be placing on things.
Doctors, Nurses, Researchers (as you say), Teachers etc.
Our values, as a society, seem extremely odd. We value vloggers and social influences (both in money terms and what people seem to believe in) more than properly trained and qualified people. I've never understood why those that look after our children get paid so little or why we are even in a situation where we have to pay others to bring our children up.
I hope we take a long hard look at what we value as a people after this. |  |

If value is linked to economic output only and supply and demand then teachers and nurses will earn less than bankers, doctors and lawyers because they create less wealth and there are fewer people capable of doing the latter.
I agree if it comes down to other forms of value then this system doesn’t and shouldn’t apply.
But our capitalist free market economy is based on the former. For as long as it lasts that is ..... | | | |

The elite are extremely good and talented, but lets not forget there is also a lot of mediocre throughout the game that earn vast sums. Certainly, when you look at what we are going through currently with this Coronavirus, it just goes to show how skewed society's values really are. [Post edited 19 Mar 2020 8:53]

Very good at what they do?
We havent had a player who is very good at what he does for years.
If I was being paid to produce what our lot turn out I would be embarrassed, I mean let's say chambers is on 8k a week, 8k to produce that level of ineptness ,lack of pace,constant mistakes.
Not saying he doesnt care but he just isn't good enough to play professional al football anymore. |  |

Footballers are paid the going rate.
Looking ahead the going rate for a third tier footballer is going to be significantly less than it is now. |  |

I would suggest to you that doctors preserve life rather than create wealth, and the same goes for nurses. That is why we look at the latter as a vocation. A description that fits teachers as well, they do not create wealth directly but they do enable wealth to be created by, some, of those they teach.
Bankers, lawyers and accountants can also be viewed as not creating wealth but do enable others to create. At best we are satisfactory at distributing wealth.
True wealth creation comes from those who extract resources, grow crops and farm livestock, plus those who manufacture.
But we are now at the point where to continue to create wealth we must mine, forest, farm and manufacture in a sustainable manner. So the enablers and those with a vocation are of equal importance to effectively do that.
Quite where footballers fit in to this I do not know, same category as pole dancers I guess. |  |

Our council have told us our bins will still be emptied and the recycling will still be collected.
Imagine if these guys stopped working.
I believe everyone will have a rethink on what actually matters and what doesn't and we might be a better society for it.
But then again, once it's all over most people will revert to type cos they're basically ar*eh*les. |  |

Can we add the Armed Forces to that list as well.
They will be the only group NOT getting overtime for extra work they are having to do. |  |

Yes. I recommend living on a small island if people really want to find out how interdependent we all are. I lived on Orkney for best part of 3 years in the 90s, and the MVPs (most valuable people) are, you quickly discover, mechanics, road-menders, bin-people, farmers & growers medics etc. You get to know a lot of them personally & they become friends. Without any of them, modern society would break down. |  |

Very thought provoking. A crazy world where couples have a child, then both go to work with one parent working to pay for somebody else to look after child. I fully accept that for the last two generations in particular, house prices and rents have moved ahead of wages, but couples now dont seem prepared to sacrifice "things" to spend more time with their children | |

It should not have taken this to realise such people are so underpaid and that money was not going to the right places. They had been warned.....
