The big question is ‘are they still receiving full wages from the club?’.

I am not suggesting a pay cut that goes to the club owner. The players have already turned that idea down, foolishly in my opinion as they should be working with their employers in damage limitation. They should have come to an agreement where pay cuts were ring fenced for those lower down the...

I would not DARE ask TB for £30-50 million. I am asking Lewis Dunk, who takes home in excess of £125k per month, to perhaps pay the wages of four members of non playing staff. Their earnings would probably not total more than £15k. Why am I asking Lewis Dunk (and his colleagues) to do this...

Exactly.

Having read the article, if the PFAs position does not change, fvck ‘em all, clubs and players. I and many others will be done with top level sport in general. It is not about being seen to give a charitable ‘drop in the ocean’ donation from the PL to the NHS, it is about saving the incomes of...

People are saying that players are worried that they will just be subsidising rich owners. Well, that is where the PFA come in. They should be publicly offering to take wage cuts, and at the same time pressurising clubs to ensure it goes to those further down the pecking order. Until the PFA...
