Player Pay Cuts during Crisis

[NMB]

How about UEFA donate all recent and future fine money to the nation of the fined club in that nation's fight against Covid 19. There could be a €30 million windfall on its way.

Or we could offer to pay the €30 without prejudice as a good will gesture to get the ball rolling

No problem with it at all.
Clubs furloghing staff is the fault of clubs' leadership teams not the players. Also the government (imo) who should have set a limit on the size of company that can furlogh staff but that's for another thread.

Can't agree on either of these points mate. Its no-ones 'fault' that we're in the grip of a situation that is unprecedented.

Literally everyone in the country is going to suffer in some way because of this, apart from (currently) premier league players. And Richard Branson of course but thats a whole other story.

Fault was probably the wrong word.
Joe Lewis who is worth 3 billion quid or make ashley who is another billionaire deciding to furlogh staff so the taxpayer pays their wages instead of themselves shouldn't mean that players should take a pay cut too.

Mark Warburton makes some interesting points here;

I agree with you on this 100%. Some of these fat cats are the firts with their hand up when it comes to gransts and government support, Branson is the worst of the lot but has better PR than Ashley.

Spurs & Newcastle have embarrassed themselves, I hope our club take a more considered view (which they certainly have up to now).

I would imagine Mike Ashley has looked into that...

Whilst i agree with him, has his wage cut gone to help lower league and non-league clubs? He will be on the same amount as some Premier League players. Can't always look to the premier league, the whole pyramid has to come together.
