Quote from the Chairman:
"Meanwhile, on the UK footballing scene National League club Barnet have responded to the suspension of football during the coronavirus crisis by putting all the club’s non-playing staff on immediate notice of redundancy.
The club’s owner, the businessman Tony Kleanthous, told the Guardian there are approximately 60 employees being laid off, and he was holding meetings with them all on Tuesday.
Kleanthous said that as players’ contracts are protected in football and cannot be terminated early, clubs’ general employees are the ones vulnerable, and with no money coming in, he said he had no choice but to lay everybody off."
I suspect this will unfortunately be the first of many clubs that take this route.

Of course, hence I posted it in the football section to be specific because some were discussing the impact on lower league teams the other day and whether the PL could step in and help.
All businesses are going to struggle as you've pointed out very eloquently in your posts. I should have made that clearer.
