The advisory group have already said they might look at vaccinating workforces that can not work from home such as police, teachers, supermarkets. Footballers can come in to that category presumably

I don't think anyone is ever suggesting that the truly most vulnerable don't get it first.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.
Very good input to a rational discussion there.Get fucked.
I think his main point is they are wasting money on testing that could be better spent in the NHS. Could vaccinate every professional footballer in one day probably and give a large chunk of money to the NHS to spend more wisely.It’s not something I thought I would hear come from Dyche, Pep or Klopp maybe but not Dyche.
No the front line health and social care workers are being done before some vulnerable groups not afterPeople who have to deal with lots of people are at risk. After the vulnerable we have front line care and emergency services. Footballers! In their normal age related place I would say.
Some young lad in Germany or France was early doors I think.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.
Footballers are playing against other footballers though and they’re tested regular so it’s abit different to the likes of teachers, police officers who are coming into direct contact with members of the public.The advisory group have already said they might look at vaccinating workforces that can not work from home such as police, teachers, supermarkets.

I am not sure, but I think football club doctors usually have NHS responsibilities too. I wasn't making the case for actors, just think the entitlement of footballers where they think everything revolves around them is not as cut and dried as they suppose.Actors would have to take the place of a member of the general public though, sports teams have doctors who could give the vaccine, this of course only works if we are at maximum capacity in general public.
Lower down the leagues I know there are a couple who are either GP's or similar but id be shocked if Manchester United or Chelseas team doctor is also a GP.I am not sure, but I think football club doctors usually have NHS responsibilities too.

Hey I'm not saying I necessarily think footballers should be any sort of priority, but I can see the reasoning for Dyche.Footballers are playing against other footballers though and they’re tested regular so it’s abit different to the likes of teachers, police officers who are coming into direct contact with members of the public.
If you start to allow people to pay for their vaccinations it’s just gonna cause a world of problems imo.Hey I'm not saying I necessarily think footballers should be any sort of priority, but I can see the reasoning for Dyche.
He isn't saying they should get it for safety reasons necessarily, it is the testing you talk of which is why he is saying it. Save the cost of testing and give that money to the NHS instead.
Surely as some of the fittest people in the country, they should be near to the bottom of the list to need it. Give it to the fatties first
I've not seen anything to say they will pay for it. I suppose it could be argued it's a bribe mind.If you start to allow people to pay for their vaccinations it’s just gonna cause a world of problems imo.
