football clubs on furlough

[1959_60]

The players will be asked to consider a 30% reduction in wages while the crisis goes on.

Not enough in my opinion. Doctors and nurses are putting their lives on the line every day while these people are doing nowt.
They also get paid an absolute pittance in comparison to footballers.
Which lot would we miss most if they disappeared?
Will they even agree to losing 30% of their wage?
We should remember this when they are finally playing again and expecting us to part with our £30's or subscribe to Sky/BT to fund their ridiculous lifestyles.

It's a complete and utter distraction and irrelevance, they can take any pay cut they like or none at all, it makes no difference to anything. How can 30% be 'not enough' 59, what is enough, 50%, 75%, stop their wages all together ? FFS, we're in the midst of the biggest crisis since WW2 and this is what the media think the nation should be discussing, whether footballers should take a pay cut. I knew they should never have abolished Grammar Schools, this level of debate is the result.

Just wait another day or two sinkov and the blame for this coronavirus malarkey will fall square and fair on the shoulders of Raheem Sterling.
