Optimistic Nut Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Better if he offered the fans money off tickets next year for having to watch complete dross all season. Exactly. Than a life changing amount of money for rank and file staff. Nah £4,000 is a life-changing amount of money? £4000 would pay off my bank loan and save me £130 a month....in a way, yes.

Dave Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I don't understand it... What is meant by non-football staff in this context? Is it the people who work for the non-footballing side of the club (presumably), or the coaching and management staff? If the former, how do they influence the match result in any way, shape or form. Is this some sort of ploy to make the match relevant for the playing (or football related) staff in that if they fail to beat Arsenal they cost the club's "normal" employees thousands of pounds each? Either way, what a strange thing to do. Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley says he will share around a £500k bonus for the staff at St James's Park if the Magpies beat West Brom on Sunday.

David Icke - Son of God Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Is this not because he and his cronies are Spurs fans, wanting them to get into the UCL. He's a Chelsea fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I don't know how they have the nerve to be so crass and without humility after the season we've had. Just shows us up this sort of shit. Well I say I don't know but they are classless, ambition-lite morons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 £4k is a family holiday to the States, a nice new kitchen/bathroom or a some quality AV equipment. It might even pay off part or all of a small loan. Would I turn my nose up at it? Of course not. Would I describe it as 'a life-changing amount'? Nah.

My point is not about you turning your nose up at it but the things you list belong in a different paradigm of thinking entirely. There are people out there who have never been on any holiday and 4k for them would give them a chance to do things many of us take for granted. These are the people I'm talking about -some of whom will work for our club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
