My comment wasn’t a criticism, I’m a huge fan of hers and I think it’s great that Forster is championing the ‘little man’ (for want if a better phrase). He’s clearly not going to be struggling to put food on the table but plenty of his fellow lower league players might if released.

Also an argument there should be a support system in place regardless of furlough.

Difficult not to feel sorry for Dunfermline over Nisbet. Rejected big money bids in January to try and get into the playoffs. Probably with the view that they could still sell him in the summer for good money. Now they will likely lose him for free. If they had sold him could have been the difference In securing their short - mid term future, but impossible to predict what was to come.

If clubs like Dunfermline are releasing 17 players to cut costs, the writing is on the wall, clubs in the Scottish pyramid system are going to fold if they don't make drastic changes!!!
We deferred our players wages to help keep costs down, these need to be paid back when play begins, if its to empty stadiums it could be costly to our clubs coffers.
Blaming everything on Coronavirus is maybe right, but it goes to show just how fragile most of our professional teams were before it started.
Most were living week to week on gate monies, and that's why closed door games will be the deathnell to a lot of smaller clubs!!!

With businesses expected to pick up 25% of salaries for those on furlough after July, redundancies in all walks of life will be common place.

Qos releasing 16 players. This is getting quite scary now. How the he’ll can they play games say September. They will require a complete new squad. The lower division standard will drop dramatically. This very worrying for our game.

Surely all of these players will still want to play, and clubs will still need players, so it will be a case of them getting new contracts (at new or existing clubs) on much lower wages?

It's quite logical that clubs will be choosing not to renew players contracts, in order to survive.
Once they have some clarification of when they can expect to start playing again, I'd imagine they'll increase the size of their squads accordingly.
I can see quite a few lower paid players lost to the game, though, as they might have to take up other offers of employment just to make ends meet.

With the culling of squads, more players will be asked to go part-time or take a massive wage cut with no signing on fee when they try to get back to football!!!

There will definitely be a retraction of some sort, but i cant imagine most championship clubs going part time?

Hopefully this crisis will bring football globally back in line with the real world.
It was getting to the point it was going up up up with absolutely no check on it.
Southampton now talking about being in bother so it's not just Scottish clubs.
