FC Groningen director Wouter Gudde is having a hard time firing eleven employees on Monday. The policy officer reacts visibly to the dismissal wave at FOX Sports.
“The news is really coming in,” says Gudde. “And the corona measures make it even more terrible. If someone shoots in tears, you can’t comfort them. People have to go in through one entrance and out the other. It becomes very impersonal. The moment this is over we will certainly not forget these people, but it was very difficult on Monday. “
Groningen announced on Monday that it expects financial damage of five million euros as a result of the corona crisis. Players, staff, employees and management will make a pay sacrifice, but this is not enough to keep the club out of financial difficulties. Gudde expects that it will not stop at those five million euros. “If there will be matches without an audience next season, this amount will increase by 400,000 euros per home game,” he said in a statement on the FC Groningen website on Monday.
