Just watching the previously mentioned football and a question came to mind. If clubs have to cut players salaries due to the current crisis would the Govt cover the percentage shortfall promised to normal worker's.

Think the govt said they would pay 80% of wages upto a max £2500 p/ month. Might help some of the smaller clubs out but I would imagine the claims process would be long, possibly too long for some.

No chance!

That would help us as well lay off all the first team squad due to the COVID19, they will get a max of £2500 a month, is better than paying some of them £25,000 a week just to sit around and think about the meaning of life.

The club might be covered with Insurance policies paying a percentage of the wages and other costs.
{Ed001's Note - it would be very unlikely that any clubs are insured for this. Certainly none are that I know of, hence all the clubs asking players to take a pay cut. You even have players at the likes of Bayern Munich taking a 20% cut as the insurance does not cover salary there in this event. I would be extremely surprised if there is any club in Scotland covered for this.}

It’s the way it should be. If insurance money was paid to the rich there would be no money left for the people who need and deserve it.
