There’ll be lots of business reasons for this, as there were for Spurs/Newcastle etc. Clubs pay into the exchequer. Clubs aren’t massive businesses by most measures. Clubs have seen revenues collapse. But it’s a really, really bad look, and I don’t get why they don’t get that. https://twitter.com/lfc/status/1246429951890534400

The wage bills at clubs for non-football staff are a tiny percentage of their operating costs. It’s not yet a month since they were playing games. They haven’t missed a broadcast payment yet. It’s not insane to think owners might just...shoulder those wages.
