Is that right? It's how union dues are paid in most businesses but I thought the PFA subs weren't paid by the players but we're made directly from TV funds. That seemed to be the case when Sky increased their rights payment a few years ago but refused to increase the PFA payment and Gordon Taylor threatened strike action.

No, pretty sure that isn’t the case PFA subs are only about £95/year (or similar). Like I said; pennies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Custodiet Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) So the pie-eaters have completed their deal. Only took about a year. Seems to be to to a Hong Kong outfit with a hotel and casino in the Philippines. Lets hope Ken can pull off a deal a bit quicker than that and that new owners of BWFC have deeper pockets than IEC appear to have.

Who even are they now? Indeed, does anyone even care? The last AGM looked like 100 people max having pie and peas Offer free pie and pies at a meeting of the Ronnie Codd Appreciation Society and you'd get 100 or so turning up.

No, you are correct. But, I know the facts! TV money gives them most of their income, so they are able to maintain low player subscriptions.

At the risk of having the thought police after me, the PFA (according to its last Annual Return) had 4,970 members who contributed a total of 547,435 pounds. (Apparently the PFA didn't have addresses for 2,290 of them). TV fees brought in nearly 29 million pounds. Jonathan Walters is a member of the Management Committee.

Tiger was an unimaginative copycat name picked up by some based on Frankie Taylor but he wasn't much of a tiger as a footballer so it didn't fit unless used in the satirical sense. The descriptive nickname was always preferable. Edited November 6, 2018 by Chris Custodiet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
