Yes that's right?
Wtaf. Honestly, some people on here
Even though fans didnt agree with it, it wasnt illegal and it made business sense (theyre murican and business people afterall). Making signings and running as a footballing business will need to continue despite making a mistake in trying to be greedy owners and putting the clubs name and everything it was built on and stands for in a bad light.
Especially they changed their minds like 24 hours later anyway?
Can't really expect them not to continue doing what they always have just because of one mistake the corrected instantly?

The made the right call. But the point is they tried to initially, how would you feel if they had then suddenly found 49m to spend on a player, that was the original point.
Im just worried the Thought Police may press charges tbh. They're ever so busy atm though.

i assume they have different budgets for each area of their business. Whos to say where or how much they spend in each area?

And what an incredibly sh!t point in reality it is.
Yes, IF Liverpool had furloughed and IF they spent £49m on a player? Really?

I'm a bit confused by the logic here Robbing.
If I was giving someone a battering, but stopped because passers by started shouting at me to stop, does that make me a stand up guy cos I stopped? Or does it make me a bell for doing it in the first place?

If you think not doing something is they same as beating someone up I think you should get off the internet mate.

But the furloughing wasn’t because they didn’t have money. It was taking advantage of the scheme, despite having the money. Which is why it didn’t go down well.
I'm not saying they're comparable actions, but surely you can see how there's a big difference between intentions and the outcome?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, if you were going to give someone a battering, but then didn't do it, and stopped before you had done it cos passers by could see you were about to do it, that would be a far more accurate description.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Did they reverse the decision before any furlough money was used then?
Either way, the intention is still bad and I'd only be refraining from doing it so that I didn't get into trouble with those people passing by.

So you can see that the intentions with the furlough weren't the nicest? Even though they did the right thing in the end and held their hands up to the error.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course they did. It was like 5 days later. At no point was anyone furloughed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well that's good
Still doesn't change the initial intention though.
The furloughing thing is an interesting one anyway. Football is the only industry that has faced criticism for using it. Obviously they don’t employ as many people as other big businesses, but it shows they are held to a different standard than any other industry.

I could understand this train of thought if you're thinking 'you can't judge people for their thoughts, only their actions', but in this case they did actually put their intentions into action, hence the backlash.

You could think that way if you were going out of your way to be hyper critical I guess but ultimately it doesnt feel right to try and hold someone accountable for seeing the error of their ways and changing a decision on an action that literally didnt take place.
Maybe I am a bit old fashioned and should troll more. Im not sure really. Kids love it these days dont they.
They could have been d!cks about it and refused to change their mind but they didn't. It's good that they listen to the fans.

Indeed. I never felt they were obligated to unless the clubs really needed it to pay the rest of their staff. The funny thing is is that it’s often football fans that seem to hate them the most.
