TheDensRoadStairs Posted 4 May 2020 Report Share Posted 4 May 2020 How can you properly come up with a workable league reconstruction plan if as predicted some clubs wont be around to take part. I guess make a plan on what we have now and see what happens, any club that thinks they are immune are kidding themselves our club included. How do you continue to pay contracted players if there is no source of income? Worrying times for everyone and it somehow seems wrong to be even thinking about football when so many people are affected by this virus.

TheDensRoadStairs Posted 4 May 2020 Author Report Share Posted 4 May 2020 I was aware of insurance but wonder if it goes on indefinitely or has a cut off limit. Must be a worry for teams with big wages to cover and no means to offset it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfcman Posted 4 May 2020 Report Share Posted 4 May 2020 No expert on it but usually it is a fixed sum one off payment.A guy I know has an Hotel on the West Coast and Business Interruption fot a Notifiable Disease is a fixed sum of £50,000.If they pay up but many Insurance companies are not.

Wattie Rojas Posted 4 May 2020 Report Share Posted 4 May 2020 Contracts run until the end of May whereby quite a few of our squad will be out of contract. With the govt furlough scheme though I'd expect Dundee to give them an extra month. Players ooc will be Hazard, Elliot, Field, Meekings, Gowser, Crankshaw, Berra and Callachan. In the current situation I can't see too many clubs handing out contracts to players, including ours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't seem right to me. I would have thought that any club insured against a pandemic would recoup the losses incurred by that pandemic, even if a renewal takes place during the fall-out.

valleyboy Posted 4 May 2020 Report Share Posted 4 May 2020 If your life insurance runs out or you stop it, and die the next day, would you expect your wife to get a cheque through the door 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
