Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

My answer was in reply to Stu and his too much at stake financial comment.

Weird how Lpool fans have a different mentality to the Cups than the League.

Not really the fans .
More about Klopp attitude towards them.

Eh! Is the CL no longer an important Cup then?

It was earlier in the season but has become much less so after the Athletico matches.

I think the name gives you a clue.
It’s a league with a cup at the end.
Look at the teams he put out in the domestic cups.
Until we got Chelsea it was the squad players and the kids.

Which part isn’t true ?

Which part isn’t true ?

That you don’t class it as a Cup.

 

[clubchamp98]

That you don’t class it as a Cup.

It’s a Trophy .
Call it what you like .
But since Klopp took over the domestic cups have been second string ,

Get in. Come on you whites

Separately sad to see Kenny Dalglish has now contracted corona - https://www.skysports.com/football/...kenny-dalglish-tests-positive-for-coronavirus and given how it affected Boris so badly hope he gets only a mild form and is fit and well again soon

Stu didn’t make a distinction and if you’d of beat Atletico it would be a totally different pov.

I believe our club have decided to watch what others do and judge the response before announcing their plans

Very PR savvy for this one the old Dave's.

West Ham United can confirm that a series of measures - led by the Board, first-team players and the manager - have today been agreed to ensure the Club can continue to support our staff, fans and local community through this difficult time.
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented the entire nation with a challenge the vast majority of us have never experienced in our lifetime. It continues to impact all of our lives, both personally and professionally. Like many organisations across the globe, the Club has been looking at every option possible to achieve continuity and to ensure that we can protect and safeguard all of our staff and the future viability of our football club.
The Board of Directors have been working tirelessly behind the scenes exploring every possible avenue, with our main priority in these unchartered times being to keep those around us and their families safe. We can confirm that a number of measures, including the following, are now in place:
• The first team playing squad, led by captain Mark Noble, are supporting the effort by deferring a percentage of their salaries during this period of postponement
• Joint-Chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold and fellow shareholders have agreed to inject £30million cash to help ensure stability
• The Joint-Chairmen, who have not taken a salary or dividend throughout their 10 years at the Club, are deferring interest payments on shareholder loans
• Manager David Moyes, Vice-Chairman Karren Brady and Chief Financial Officer Andy Mollett taking a 30% reduction
The savings created by the measures above will support the entire infrastructure of the Club and enable us to retain jobs and continue to pay 100% of staff salaries. It will also help us to continue to support the most vulnerable in our community. Through our award-winning Foundation, and the Players’ Project we have delivered, West Ham United has pledged £28m and saved the NHS £1.4m in the 150-Club diabetes programme alone – and these vital life-saving programmes need to continue.
Vice-Chairman Karren Brady said: “I would like to say a big thank you to David Moyes and his backroom team, our captain Mark Noble and our fantastic squad of players for the commitment and determination they have shown to offer their help and support.
‘’I would also like to thank the shareholders whose support through this injection of equity once again demonstrates their commitment to the future of the Club.
“The Joint-Chairmen and I are truly proud of how they and everyone at the Club has stepped up to play their part in this situation – we are in it together to support one another, our community and our Club. That is the spirit of the West Ham United family.
“There is still a long and difficult road ahead but we remain committed to doing everything we can to support those most in need, and together we will come through it stronger.”
Captain Mark Noble said: “As players we have been in constant dialogue with the Club since the situation around COVID-19 emerged and I am proud that our entire squad have made clear their strong desire to play our part in helping to support others through this situation.
“At West Ham United, we are one team and our priority reflects the Club’s aim to help ensure the staff get 100% of their salaries while we are unable to play our matches. We continue to do all we can, collectively and individually, throughout this period for the benefit of those around us, our colleagues, our supporters and our community.
“On behalf of the players I send our best wishes to all of our supporters and their families, especially those who have been directly affected by the virus, and I look forward to the day that we can all be back together again.”
The thoughts of everyone at West Ham United at this time are with all those affected by COVID-19, particularly the more vulnerable members of our community. Please continue to look out for yourselves and for each other.
Stay Home. Protect the NHS. Save Lives.

Yes I think so but it was already won.

I'm not sure if thats correct.

I think the rump of the league games were finished but think they split into another format for the last part of the season, which they hadnt got to yet, like the way the Rugby league season does......I think.

Spurs reverse their Furlough decision and directors are taking the strain instead of the economy. Well done Spurs.

A few spurs supporting friends are not impressed,

"Levy shouldn’t be praised for making the right decision and using some commonsense. The fact that he wanted to do it in the first place and took this long to change his mind speaks volumes.."

I agree like Liverpool, but to actually change their mind should be applauded.

It could’ve been quite easy for them to justify using it by saying “we’ve paid into the pot,were entitled to do it as it’s a decision to help the business protect jobs in future“.

Morally, it’s wrong. How many businesses decisions bare in mind morals? Not many I reckon.

Here's to hoping Levy makes another sensible decision, and shows The Poison One the door.
