Stop affluent football clubs using the governments furlough scheme.
Football clubs including Tottenham, liverpool, Newcastle and Celtic should not be using the governments furlough scheme, due to the cash reserves and money being paid to first team players, cash at hand and in bank based on the last accounting period and the government should investigate.
We would like organisations who have the funds to build £1bn stadiums (Tottenham) and to pay £9m for players (Celtic) to be excluded from the furlough scheme immediately. Football clubs who need support should be afforded assistance as required based on the cash reserves and profit/loss account.
