Also from an insurance perspective. How are we covered if players injure themselves and are perhaps unable to work/ secure new employment.
Yes the Government are picking up the tab. But surely there are other factors to consider.

They are contracted employees so generate all benefits that any other employee does including annual leave and sick pay. Most of their holiday entitlement will be taken in one big hit at the close season although players on 10 month contracts obviously don’t get that period. They either take it through the year (likely to be the odd day here and there) or have it paid at the end of the contract
