There was a bit of speculation in the press that clubs could not provide training plans to furloughed players and insist they follow them. As you’re saying though, the suggestion that furloughed players can’t keep fit (i.e., train) at home is nonsense though.

Furloughed workers all over the country will still be doing some work from home. A lot of people enjoy their jobs and like their employers. In a lot of smaller businesses people will be doing little bits and pieces at home to help out. Hibs players will have training plans at home, as will players from most clubs. Our recruitment guys will all have been furloughed but I bet they are still logging on to their computers each day.
It will be happening all over. And when it’s all over, I bet the govt will not care a jot so long as everyone is back at work.

Especially if a wee bit "cheating" means that people have jobs to go back to.

In France there's currently a system of "chômage partiel", ie. people are laid off for a specified percentage of the time.

We're using it in our place. The guys who do all the site supervision are laid off 80% of the time - 4 days out of 5 (building sites are nearly all closed) which is paid by the government and they work from home the other 20% to keep their admin up to date (paid by the firm).

My understanding of the situation is if people are working from home as was intimated in the official statement they are not eligible to be furloughed. I'm sure if players are training they are also ineligible. As far as
I am concerned I'm just pleased the staff seem to be happy with their positions within the club whoever is paying their salary.

Your understanding is correct. You cannot do any work for your employer during the period that you are furloughed.

It's only a "core" who are working from home. The rest are furloughed.

If the players are training, it's in their own time. Just in the same way that someone who does a desk-based, creative brain-dependent, job would do crosswords to keep their mind sharp

Doing many crosswords at the moment?

Will they be allowed to telephone supporters?

Good question - volunteering in this way is ok ✅

And that Mrs Budge is how you run a football club in a crisis. You get on quietly and sort it. You don't go moaning to the press at the first sign of problems.

Aberdeen owner on Sportsound just now, saying that they can’t claim for players on Furlough

Interesting development

On the grounds that the players are training each day and sending their training data back to club to view.

Clubs who furlough will not be allowed to have ANY contact at all with players for months.

Big difference

I’d imagine it depends on your definition of training. If they’re following training orders from the club, it’s probably working. If they are keeping themselves fit and doing stuff off their own backs, it won’t be.

If Chris Froome is on furlough (he’s not btw) and decides to go for a training cycle or Zwift session, he’s not working.

Sounds like the players are professional so even if not officially “training” you can bet they will be training in some form. Would imagine most of not all could make there own training plan if needed to keep themselves fit

At end of day after this is over they want to get back to playing football and will want to be fit
