Arsenal making Gunnersaurus (or more accurately, the guy in the suit) redundant. A ridiculous case study in penny pinching at the margins whilst the playing staff earn astonishing amounts and the owner has more money than God.

Also what is wrong with football is mascots like Gunnersaurus. That is pathetic by a club that are far from being impecunious to lay off someone who is probably paid about £100 a match. |

I suppose there is little point in having a mascot with no fans in the ground though!
Have WBA sacked the fella dressed up as a boiler yet?

No there is little point in that but at least furlough him until this is over. |

Furlough is coming to an end this month. Has he been sacked or laid off? (It is still shit though, as Nemo said, penny pinching) |

Ozil saves Gunnersaurus!! (Or, offers to.) "I was so sad that Jerry Quy aka our famous & loyal mascot @Gunnersaurus and integral part of our club was being made redundant after 27 years. As such, I’m offering to reimburse @Arsenal with the full salary of our big green guy as long as I will be an Arsenal player..." https://twitter.com/MesutOzil1088/status/1313486087181021190Actually what he's offered to do there is pay his wages until January isn't it? |

How much money are Arsenal actually saving by laying off this guy? £15/20k per year?
Edit - I read that they are laying off 55 staff in total, but I guess everyone just focuses on him as he dresses up like Barney for a living?

It's certainly a novel way to open contract negotiations. |

I mean, sacking your mascot for cost savings is so tinpot I'd expect us to make national piss taking headlines for doing it. For Arsenal to do it is just humiliating. But yes, they sacked lots of others including basically all their scouting department, which seems like one of the most short termist things imaginable. |

The irony in a member of the Man City board saying the EFL isn’t sustainable is frightening.
