Players salaries

[arminisgod]

I haven't done this because they are showing a lot of rugby and cricket from back in the day, e.g. Lions' tours.

you can still watch it if you pause your subscription

Like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, for example?

Messi was very forthright in his views , 70% pay cut plus more to ensure all the clubs employees received 100% of their salary .

Cant see why a top player in the Prem hasnt done this upto now.

So you can watch what they are showing and not pay anything for it?

You pause payments but still get the channels, win win!

And thats who is to blame mate, the people who own the business, the Levys, the Ashleys.

Then theres clubs like Everton who have promised to pay their staff.

But I realise nobody will agree with me.

The problem is the likes of Hancock specifically targeting Premier league players, don't think he mentioned any of his millionaire tory chums taking pay cuts too

The PFA apparently is behind this. Gordon Taylor must be worried about having to give up some of his massive salary.

They can still volunteer tbh, they have more money than they'll ever need

I certainly don't want to defend tax-dodging billionaire Tories here, but a lot of FTSE 100 and 250 directors are taking a huge hit in terms of salary and even more in cancelled dividends. This is what makes the players lack of action even more galling - they are behaving worse than even the banks!

Not really the same, just as many will make a killing somewhere else out of it

Blimey , that really puts things into perspective. Worse than banks !

I mean doesn't something like this need to be decided at UEFA level so that its consistent across the continent at least. I mean otherwise if its only UK cutting wages, they will just cry breach of contract and/or just hop to a team in a country that isnt cutting wages?

NO.
There are two camps - you're either in the Naismith camp or or you're a shallow ' I'm alright jack' mercenary meff.

 

[degsy]

Cap all players salaries to 20k per week until its all over. None of them could seriously complain that they are only getting a million quid a year. Could they?

This.
