Agree WTFWhat the fucks this merge all about?![]()
Not necessarily. A period of exclusivity would normally trigger an NDA, but they (exclusivity periods) are usually of a determinate length, after which the sellers can talk to other parties. It's entirely possible that the NDA linked with the first bid could persist, and a new NDA enforced around any new bid, ie multiple NDAs in place.
This is like some improv show where the audience have been asked to should out random things and they've shouted out Sean Dyche, vaccines and the Sunderland takeover
You are right. I wasn't advocating performers above others, was trying to use them as an example comparable with footballers. Much as I love football (it has been difficult recently), they are no more essential to the population coping than actors and musicians who probably hit a wider demographic, especially through TV or its streaming equivalents. Obviously the government don't recognise this and think they should all retrain.I know several professional musicians who've had little or no income from their real job since March. Some have taken jobs stacking shelves or delivering parcels just to make ends meet. I doubt, though, that any of them would want to jump the vaccine queue. As with all things medical in limited supply, treatment should be given solely on the basis of clinical need.
Yeah, I get his point and I don’t really have all that much issue with him asking the question.Well, on the one hand, I can see his point. Football is the biggest sport in the country and is the release from every day life for many so if more games get postponed, football fans lose that outlet which could lead to mental health issues? A bit sad but it's the way it is.
On the other hand, there are millions of other people who are in more urgent need for the vaccine than overpaid footballers.
Like a lead balloon and rightly so.
I watched what he said thanks, and btw It doesn't change my opinion on the matter. Now if they are or would like to donate money to the NHS or like minded charities in the future fair play to them..Would you change your view if the premier league transparently guaranteed to spend the same money they currently spend on testing on other charity / the NHS instread? Have Sean Dyche photographed in Burnley hospital with a cheque for £200lk? (I have no idea what the actual amount would be).
You could argue they are providing light relief and entertainment to a lot of people. Should they stop making television too?
Stop 'wasting' money on testing is the whole crux of his argument which a lot of people are missing, whether you agree with him or not
The point is to stop spending money on tests and give that money to a more worth while cause.
It only has any merit at all because football is pretty much the only industry doing routine testing of the entire workforce.
People really should read what he said before forming an opinion. If you still disagree, as most will, then fine but at least see what he says man!
Why start now? It's our usual and often swiftly-dashed hope at the best of times.I get where hes coming from but on other hand why on earth do fit, healthy footballers need to be vaccinated. We had 14 players positive and they are all fit and playing football again within a few weeks.
Have any footballers been hospitalized? I dont think so. If we just let football crack on without this rigorous testing then i think it would be fine.
Am i writing in thinking this would affect our owners personally and not the club ? @Grumpy Old Man
If i'm correct @KittenMittens they pulled a similar stunt with the Madrid company. We don't know the full story of course but they seem to have form.
It’s in safcs best interests for the players to stay at home. Permanently.This topic is actually more complicated than it at first appears.
When taking into account mental health of the general population there is a strong argument that footballers are actually key workers, admittedly not in the same way as frontline health workers or care workers.
It’s in all of our interests for people to stay at home and live football on tv is a welcome distraction so if that can be performed uninterrupted without the need for thousands of regular tests clogging up the testing capacity then maybe it’s worth looking at.
An argument can be made either way.
Not sure if its the right thing to do, but i can see his point, if they are vacinated and they all the money to nhs that they save on testing twice a week, its aa lot of money
If you're a footballer and at high risk, ok. If not, back in the queue with everyone else.Yesterday the news was a meat factory owner saying their workers should get preference and Sainsburys saying supermarker workers should get preference, pretty sure a couple of days before that it was public transport workers should get preference.
I get it, you all want preference. Tough shit. People likely to die from the virus get the vaccine first.
It would be a disgrace if it happened.
It’s embarrassing him even asking, people in vulnerable groups come first then to others who support the health care system and schools etc, as per the list.
It’s a I’m alright jack attitude, football isn’t important these days, they must wait like the rest of us.
I agree mate, technically they are key workers as they are being asked to work through this pandemic, if they are willing to pay (the clubs, FA etc) and it will be administered by club doctors then I don't see a problem, though they should be still told to rigidly stick to the rules and a set of punishments should be set out for those breaking the rules. That said our lass is a nurse and eventually got in touch with those administrating it to NHS workers and they have ran out, they and going to text her when fresh supplies are made available, so it isn't as freely available as the government would have you believe...If they paid for the vaccinations, I don't see why not. Haven't they already donated millions though?
They're being made to go into work in close proximity to others and travel all over the country doing this. Many footballers won't have any health conditions and won't be vulnerable, but some footballers may have family that are vulnerable and by going into work every day they're instantly putting that family at risk.
