You’ll defend Spurs like we’ll defend City mate and I don’t blame you for that. I don’t mind Spurs, mostly as I wasn’t born in 1981 and I’m not bitter about that.
There’s nothing wrong with what Spurs have done generally speaking, hell I know what it’s like to have your club attacked for ridiculous things.
I would just say, and I’m sure you’ll agree, I expect all PL players to take a pay cut here and give back to staff and the people that feed them, ie the fans.
Some figures in football have donated to COVID-19 research, such as Pep €1m, De Gea £300k and I don’t think it’s too much to ask that each club’s players pay for the rest of the staff.
It’s not an anti Spurs thing, it took City far too long to agree to pay temporary staff. Football is fucking greedy these days and we’d all benefit if the cesspit had a big shake up.
Hey, I'm not as thick as I look.Must admit I had to google saccharine jim:)

Absolutely. I'm pretty sure that there will be an agreement with players sooner or later. Even the PFA must realise that it will reflect very badly on them and their members if they fail to take a significant pay cut. It would be nice to think that agents won't put a spanner in the works (because they would consequently see their income cut too) but I wouldn't put it past them not to give a shit.
I have a much more privileged background. I'm very aware of how lucky I have been and I hope that I will never take it for granted or be anything other than grateful. But I too pine for the days when football was simpler and more innocent; when any number of teams could realistically challenge for silverware; when supporters really supported; and when the entire population, it seemed, stopped to watch the all day build up to the FA Cup final on TV - no matter who was playing.
Wishful thinking, I know, but it would be wonderful if, in at least some small way, we could recover a sense of what is really important in sport as well as in other spheres of our lives once this virus is beaten.
