    Arsenal Announce 55-Staff Layoff Plan To Reduce Cost As Covid-19 Crisis Deepens

    Nnamdi EzekuteBy Nnamdi EzekuteAugust 5, 2020No Comments3 Mins Read

    English FA Cup new champions Arsenal have announced that 55 persons in the club’s employment will be rendered redundant in order to save cost and keep going in the face of the economic hardship caused by the covid-19 pandemic.

    A statement to this effect published on Arsenal website on Wednesday did not state exactly how many playing staff and the non-playing employees that will be asked to go, but it emphasised that The Gunners management will invest more on the first team after the exercise.

    “In line with other football clubs and many other businesses operating in the sport, leisure and entertainment arena, we have been impacted directly by COVID-19,” reads statement issued by Arsenal’s head of football Raul Sanllehi and Managing Director Vinai Venkatesham.

    “Our main sources of income have all reduced significantly. Revenue from broadcasters, matchday and commercial activities have all been hit severely and these impacts will continue into at least the forthcoming 2020-21 season.

    “The pandemic represents one of the most challenging periods in our 134-year history and we have responded promptly by implementing wide-ranging measures to reduce our costs. Our players, senior football staff and executive team have volunteered
    pay cuts, we have stopped pretty much all of our capítal spending, and our discretionary operating expenditure has been strictly
    controlled.

    “It is now clear that we will be facing more significant and longer-lasting reductions in our revenue than we all hoped. Current indications are that we will not have fans back at Emirates Stadium for the start of next season and fans will only be able to return in limited numbers after that. The global economic projections are also very negative.

    “This will impact the disposable income of our fans, the money corporate clients have to spend on hospitality and sponsorship, and the ability for broadcasters to invest in TV rights.

    “We all hope there will be no ‘second wave’ but we also need to accept that is one of the many uncertainties ahead of us and plan accordingly.

    “Over recent years we have consistently invested in additional staff to take the club forward but with the expected reduction of income in mind, it is now clear that we must reduce our costs further to ensure we are operating in a sustainable and responsible way, and to enable us to continue to invest in the team.

    “Our aim has been to protect the jobs and base salaries of our people for as long as we possibly can. Unfortunately, we have now come to the point where we are proposing 55 redundancies.

    “We do not make these proposals lightly and have looked at every aspect of the club and our expenditure before reaching this point. We are now entering the required 30-day consultation period on these proposals.

    “We have also received significant financial support from our owners, Kroenke, Sports & Entertainment in terms of refinancing our stadium debt, the statement added.

    “These steps have all reduced the impact of the pandemic on the club and have helped us continue to maintain investment in the team.
    This will continue to be a key priority.”
