It's using the govt provided money, furlough staff and give them 80% of salary, they aren't allowed to top up. It's mostly been done for Facilities and ground staff. Staff stay at home and get paid 80% for not working.
If the lockdown continues and revenue doesn't come in then I guess we'll see what happens then.
PFA are meeting today to discuss players wages
If the games aren't played, its reported clubs could owe broadcasters £700m payback...

As I understand it, footballers pay a good deal more tax than 10 or 20 years ago. Would these politicians be happy with a corresponding decrease in the tax take, leaving more to be borrowed.
I don‘t disagree with the sentiment and I think players should be impacted before those on more normal salaries, I just don‘t think the consequences have been thought through.

As long as the reduction in tax is less than the subsidies they’ll be giving he other means, I doubt they’ll care. I don‘t disagree with the sentiment and I think players should be impacted before those on more normal salaries, I just don‘t think the consequences have been thought through.
Unbelievable that football clubs that have been ridiculously profligate with players salaries for decades should get any help.

Fine - players can afford to give money from their full wages after tax too. I don‘t disagree with the sentiment and I think players should be impacted before those on more normal salaries, I just don‘t think the consequences have been thought through.
I think it's absolutely stinking that with the money in the premier league clubs have done this. They should be forced to address their internal budgets before requiring government assistance for low paid workers.
I'm sure hard working fans that struggle to pay for tickets, and are losing their jobs, will become frustrated.

The Players wage bill for Manchester United in 2019 was £332,000,000 per annum.
If the players took a 10% paycut for the duration of the pandemic, it would free up the equivalent of £33,200,000 per annum. I can't believe the groundsmen, cleaners, cooks and bar staff are being paid £33,200,000 per annum.
If they took the paycut for 3 months, David De Gea's annual income would drop from £19,500,000 to £19,000,000 per annum. I doubt he'd need to visit a foodbank.
The Premier League Clubs really should be ashamed of themselves, absolutely disgusting behaviour.

t but he's a tI'm sure footballers will have bills every month like the rest of us but I would hope they would have taken sufficient finical advice over the years to be able to lose 50% of their wages and not get into trouble, plus have a rainy day fund. After all, they never know when their contracts could change.
If they need to start paying Sky back, for example, they are going to have to make some cuts somewhere, it has to be players' wages.
I Will follow the announcement tomorrow with interest but from a PR point of view, they have to do something significant.
EDIT: Looks like it could be 30% reduction

The average wage in the premiership is £3m per year. They will barely be able to keep the leccy going with a 50% wage cut!! Edited by Type R Tom on Friday 3rd April 16:55
Poor show that the players aren't coming out and offering this themselves.

Name some you think would do that ?
There is a name for such people......
Not sure what you mean, but a few managers have taken pay cuts, some teams have deferred wages, some have sacrificed them to a significant figure and the Manchester United squad today announced they’d be donating 30% of their wages for a month to the NHSThere is a name for such people......

Just to add I think the timing has made the gesture a bit convenient, but it is a great start. I’d like to see more following suit quickly.
