Who is the senior player calling for a strike.

Just seen the article. Was wondering the same myself!

Is there a link to this article. Thanks.

Some played like they were on strike last season.

Don't know but he wants to get into the real world, and then find another club.

In different circumstances, I might have guessed at Broughie.

Hi RC, please don’t read into this as a pop at you, but I don’t think we should be putting names to this rumour until we know if any of this is true

I'm 100% behind the players and their union on this.

If the sport cannot afford to honour contracts, then the sport is morally void and does not deserve saving.

We are currently one of six clubs who have not settled so no real problem. If we become the only club then yes it does because the question would be why. I know we are not the wealthiest of clubs but in this respect we are not unique and therefore it becomes a question of management. I expect we will claim the £1000 per furloughed staff brought back if they come back of course.
We will just have to see what develops but time is fast running out with training due to start soon. What I fear is another restart with players leaving to cut the budget to be replaced by cheaper options which was ok when we had the play off system but not now. We could then go the majority of the season without a win but not now especially when the club wants us to sacrifice the cost of our season tickets.

So they dont take a pay cut and theres a potential for the club to go under

But there are potential loans and other ways of bridging the gap.
You might not like the terms given there are other ways for the club to support you.

For what it's worth I would take the cut but only if it were equal. I wouldn't like it if I was taking a bigger cut than others.
I don't mind there being a lower limit though.

Without knowing all the details it's poor form to criticise the senior player.
We have no idea why this is happening or whether it is even just paper talk.

I don’t know if you listened to Michael Carter on Monday night’s Q&A with the fans. He believes all 12 SL clubs will be releasing payers at the end of this season. M C estimated as many as 60 SL players may have to go part time, possibly with Championship clubs. I hope common sense prevails, and players take whatever is offered now until/if the sport recovers.

Great post.

I cant believe you have actually said that.
