The majority have in England 25% however no one being reduced who is on £30k a year or less, and no one over £30k pa being reduced under that level.
The ones owned by rich billionaires are the ones who haven't, I suppose they can afford it.

Graham Sharp talking sense
Graeme Sharp believes the Premier League should declare the 2019/20 season as null and void.
Everton’s Players’ Life President, told independent.ie: “I would gladly just shut down the league, declare it null and void and we start back when we can.
“It’s a shame for Liverpool as they won’t win the Premier League title and for Leeds and West Brom in the Championship as they were hoping to get promotion, but this is an act of God and I can’t see football coming back for a long, long time.
“You can’t restart the season again in the winter, that would be strange, so I think cancelling it has to be the option.
“I saw reports in of German teams going back to training and I think, wow that’s a bit early. I just don’t think that’s practical and can’t see how it works in the current climate in the UK.
“We all want to see football again, but the most important things in people’s lives and getting that right,” he stated. “Rushing people back just for the sake of fulfilling fixtures is not right and the idea of playing behind closed doors? I’m not so sure about that.
“I listen to the news every day looking for a little bit of hope and I’m not getting any at the moment. You see so many stories about football teams and players getting battered for the donations they should be making and what they should and shouldn’t be doing. Everything seems to evolve around football at the moment, but there are much more important things to worry about.
“I was chatting to someone in Scotland and they suggested that there would be thousands of people outside Parkhead of the day they win the league and the same goes for Liverpool. They will all be standing close together, singing and shouting. The police don’t need that problem.
“How do you put a date on the games starting again? I just don’t see how they can get around this and get games on any time soon. At this moment in time, let the powers that be concentrate on getting rid of this coronavirus.
“Start next season in August or September and this is the way it’s got to go. There are too many permutations in terms of giving the league to Liverpool and saying Celtic are champions in Scotland, with Hearts getting relegated. You can’t do that.
“Teams might go on a run and get out of relegation, so I just think you have to call a halt to it, declare it null and void and make that decision soon.”

Don't know where you live but where I live everyone who is employed by an employer is given a contract. Nowhere in my contract does it say 'in the event of a pandemic we'll pay you 80%' but hayho you grin and bare it, not woman and moan because we're all in it together, apart from footballers it seems.
It doesn’t say it in mine either, but it also doesn’t allow for pay cuts so I won’t take one.
Not being a prick but people sign a contract, you best be happy with it. I’ve turned down some very good jobs over the years because I didn’t trust the wording on them.
if there’s one thing people need to take from this it’s not to sign contracts that only protect one of the parties signing it.

It will be when there is no money left. I’m glad you don’t work for me, that’s all I can say - all in it together and all that
Why not look at the owners?
“all in it together” my arse. Classic socialism.

Look at the owners? In what respect? Could some owners chip and pay, yeah probably but not all. Clubs have virtually no income, there might not actually be any clubs left when football resumes in 12-18 months.
I would not be happy if City went into financial difficulty and players are still taking out

News just breaking that the clubs agree that all 92 remaining fixtures in the league must be played, but no deadline. In other words nothing was agreed and the can was kicked down the road again. Thank fuck it's not 96 fixtures left to play or we'd not hear the last of it.

The chairman of the EFL is desperate for the season to be concluded. I'm sure Mr Rick Parry has no ulterior motive whatsoever driving him to put the health and welfare of players, medical staff, and potentially supporters turning up at games being played behind closed doors at risk...

I’m sure the red half of Merseyside will be 100% in agreement. On the other hand....Graham Sharp talking sense

If an owner signed a player on wages that they aren’t comfortable paying due to this, then they don’t deserve to own a premier league club.
that’s the issue here, too many of them got greedy and tried punching above their weight. Why should a player be punished for signing a contract?
Easy targets pal. Let them earn their cash. Look higher up the food chain if you must have a moan at someone wealthy.

They all live within their means like most when they sign a mortgage. No one budgets for being made redundant/once in a lifetime change of circumstances
