The PFA are really taking the piss here. If they took the pay cut it would mean their clubs not needing to put non playing staff onto furlong, therefore not using tax payers money to pay the wages of their clubs staff.
They really are not helping themselves here. Everyone in the country is pulling together except for footballers. |  | | |  |

I think Hancock overstepped the mark, but as some of the most privaledged people in our country the footballers and the PFA are making a mess of this. |  |

I heard Linekers comments and I agreed. We can demonise the footballers for this but it's not entirely fair, the clubs and the PFA are equally at fault and then there's other rich people.
All rich people should be asking what they can do, not just asking but offering.
The Bransons and Martins of this world need to step up. |  |

No they, footballers and all earners and asset rich of that magnitude, need to be taxed properly on an NHS Special Tax, with no avoidance allowed, and not left to their discretion. |  |

The players and PFA have been organising to donate (and some already have individually) but then Hancock and the media have taken the legs out from under them with this "footballers refuse to accept a 30% paycut" headline, designed purely to deflect from the godawful job they're doing otherwise. Hancock today has said "now is not the time to discuss pay rises for NHS workers", but he'll have a go at easy targets when it doesn't cost him anything ffs.
Footballers want to know where their money is going. A paycut is a bailout for their billionaire bosses, it doesn't help many people in need. | | | |

Cricketers donate 20 per cent of salary to good causes, why not Premier League footballers on £200,000 a week? | |

Yes, they can still be paid and taxed, which keeps the little lambs happy about not disavantaging the tax take - ha, but then 20 or 30% of after tax wages deducted to fund ventilators, protective equipment or vaccine research directly. Better still tax them properly. They have no better options.
I agree it's unfair to just single them out though when the likes of the Arsenal turd and the Sheikh, Fenway and the Glazers extract massive value from the clubs and get the taxpayer to fund people on 20k a year. Plus it's a naked distraction to the government's failures and hancock, Gove and Johnson's failure to deliver on promises. | |

Rooney was the best this morning complaining that footballers,particularly PL footballers are being singled out and moans that only they are being asked to take pay cuts.
Listen, Wayne, you potatohead. Look around mate. Look at average joe being forced to take a 20% hair cut to a salary you and your mates earn in a day. Many of whom will never get rehired and many of whom have nothing. Fcking idiot. |  |

Players taking a pay cut doesn't help "average joe" a single bit. If you actually read what he and other players are saying they don't mind parting with some of their wage if it will help people directly, the objection is to the method they're being pressured into doing it which benefits their employers first and foremost. The government have proposed that players provide a bailout for their clubs, hoping that somehow a fraction of the money will trickle down to the working people.
Footballers have been singled out. It's ridiculous. And the seriously dull fckers like yourself have taken the bait. | | | |

Fck you. How about they stump up to pay for those employees who have been furloughed? | |

They do. Via the taxes they pay.
Why don't the people who own the football clubs pay their employees? The government wants workers to step in to save companies from their responsibilities because they can't do it themselves (not that any PL club needs saving). It's all spin and bullshit to distract you from the fact that the government should have been supporting the NHS and holding big companies to task all this time. It's the same old austerity bullshit policy, targeted this time at public-facing millionaires (ignore the billionaires in the background please).
The Premier League can donate £20m and get praised while the players are asked to give £500m back to their clubs and get dragged over the coals for saying "hang on a minute, where's this money actually going to go?" The kit man isn't on 30% of Aguero's wage. And he'll probably get furloughed either way, clubs are companies that will take advantage of every government scheme they can. | | | |

I'm with Jasp, it's the owners that should be getting the grief. Pay all your employees from the proceeds of your greed, you scum.
And tax and levy (hah) these f*ckers properly, owners, players, agents fees and transfer fees, from now on. That would probably build Johnsons new hospitals all by itself. | |

Whats the difference between putting average joe on 80% and requiring the playing staff to reduce to 80%? The players are doing nothing either. No training, no games. They are on sabbatical like the rest of the club staff | |

Players aren't free to say "no thanks, I'll go look for another job elsewhere" because clubs hold on to their registration. It's a big part of why their paid as much as they are, it's not just the day-to-day work they do, they're an asset that can be sold. Contract law is already dicey territory in football, any agent worth his salt would be questioning the furlough and getting his client a free transfer somewhere if the club tried something funny.
Lower division clubs like Coventry have done it but those players aren't the millionaires people are up in arms about. | | | |

And then there are the likes of Jacob Rees Mogg who's Somerset Investment Company has made a small fortune betting on falling share prices..
I dont honestly think anyone can complain about footballers being paid too much when you look at the millions, possibly billions around the World that they entertain and how lost everone is without the game. |  | | |

Frighteningly there are players on million pound two and three year contracts in league 1 and 2. Not many but they exist. Football is once again showing itself for what it is. It's built on sand |  |
