People who have lost their lives to this virus, people have lost their homes and jobs, people can't afford their bills because of furlough, yet people on here say its OK to demand full pay when he's earnt millions in his career? That's off. I apologise for causing offence to anyone but wheater shud b missing bills like the rest of the hard workin folk that have been furloughed or worse lost a member of their family. But its OK for a footballer to demand a top up because he can't pay his Mercedes payments how many have lost their lives from cancer especially when referrals and appointments have been cancelled? 0.06 have this virus and guess what? We are carbon based life forms - we have to die eventually and of something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he got hundreds of people backing him up and going to his boss saying sort his job out? No he hasn't. So like I said people who genuinely can't help signing on wouldnt be happy seeing footballers whinging about money You are full of shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pidge Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 2 hours ago, latics22 said: Let's keep it simple, he earns say 5 k a week, that's 20k a month. He will have outgoing Bill's of say 8k a month. How does he pay these Bill's? He said himself he accepted furlough. The rest is speculation, the rumour is he was offered the top up then it was pulled. He isnt to blame for wanting to provide for himself and his family. What bills is he likely to have? Loans? Well banks were instructed to give payment holidays during furlough. There was nothing to spend money on, so I’m sure he could have survived on the maximum furlough amount.

Bobledgersheart Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I don't pretend to know the ins and outs of this case but it's a bit annoying when footballers and others who are best placed to financially manage through this particular crisis think they're some sort of "special case" and should be treated accordingly.

I wouldn't go into work if they didn't pay me. And if I was contracted in a way where I couldn't get another job, I would be suing the company for breach of contract.

nzlatic Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 When Jack Byrne was being pushed out there were those who said "well he deserves to go if he deliberately broke a teammates leg". When Craig Davies was being pushed out there were those who said "well he was trying to get himself a move away, well done Abdallah". Lets face it, as others have said, we do not know the facts. We have no idea what was said or promised to Wheater or even what he's asking for, so no one can judge him one way or the other. But what we do know is there is a pattern of behaviour with AL and the club's high earners. Usually to the detriment of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
