Player Pay Cuts during Crisis

It's a matter that should be between the club's and their players.

What would look bad, and with good reason, would be to keep players on full pay and then furlough other staff and take tax payers money to pay them: that would be akin to tax payers subsiding players wages.
 
Why has he not talked about his own teams players on 200k a week? or the fact what he claims for a MP

He's an arsehole
It's indicative of what the general public think due to the style of reporting we get .
The reputational damage is massive.

And to think some city fans say we shouldn't fight back, just put heads in sand. Thank bejeesus for Rabin and people like him.
 
Every day that goes by with the richest players continuing to hide behind that old crook Gordon Taylor will damage their repuations and their future earnings potential. The football bubble has burst and sponsors and broadcasters will not be queueing up after this crisis to support this industry. The players reputation could be destroyed by this crisis. They will never be forgiven by fans.
In future commercial sponsors will not want to damage their own brands by being associated with the the tainted brand of football. Those greedy players (not all of them) and their agents are cutting their own financial throats by failing to act fast enough.

The tax thing is a good point, and theres no doubt a lot of tax is collected from players. That would be an interesting thing that could be modelled quite easily by the clubs or HMRC.

There's probably quite a bit of tax avoidance going on but this is a very valid point.
Think there was a press release from hmrc before the virus which said over 300 footballers and 30+ clubs under investigation for tax avoidance, majority will be in Premier league no doubt.
 
Just got a notification on my phone saying Premier league donating 20m to NHS.

Exactly what Spurs and Newcastle are doing
