The prize money for winning the FA cup is 3 million quid. Could of used that to pay them?
So top whack saving £100k per week - perhaps Ozil would like to give up a third of his salary per week? At least PEA can give them a lift to to sign on in his gold lambo?Looks horrible and almost unjustifiable letting so many go and then signing a player to a weekly pay deal of probably half of the 55's year combined salary
or offering PEA an increase to get him to stay?Looks horrible and almost unjustifiable letting so many go and then signing a player to a weekly pay deal of probably half of the 55's year combined salary
I wonder how Ozil feels about this as he picks up his massive salary.
About to sign Willian & Countinho.
Their attack looks formidable now...

Or just speculation ?
Hope he’s delighted with 50+ employees kicked out of the club at the same timeLa Voix du Nord (reliable) also saying they're close to signing Gabriel, the CB from Lille a few people on here were v keen on us signing a few weeks back.
That's potentially Saliba, Gabriel, Willian and Coutinho coming in already, with a bumper contract for Auba too. Can't say they're not backing Arteta.
Oh well, in that case! ?Telegraph reporting it...

I said at the time that the criticism (both from outside and from our own fans) aimed at Levy for using the furlough programme was unjustified. The club was eligible for it and any businessman seeking to safeguard the company in such uncertain times would have been negligent to ignore it. In spite of the negative publicity I think it was the right thing to do then and still think so now. No doubt those same fans who criticised him for it will be those shouting loudest because of the perceived lack of incoming transfers this window.It’s a horrible situation for the employees. And no doubt a tough decision for the club. I wonder what we’d say if Levy did this instead of the tapping into the Furlough scheme? I’d say in hindsight it was the right decision although this is way to early to say. It could still happen. For example the Superstore can be making much money and the hospitality certainly isn’t. From this month the club start sharing the burden of those wages. Let’s see how we come out the other side.
