Football pundits are considering legal action against their employers BT Sport as the dispute over loss of pay threatens to turn ugly.
Sportsmail has revealed previously that some of the channel’s highest-profile talent — including Robbie Savage, Rio Ferdinand and Jermaine Jenas — are in danger of being out of pocket because of disruption to the schedule as a result of the coronavirus crisis.
Talks aimed at resolving the issue have been ongoing for the past 10 days and a settlement offer was made — but sources for the team of pundits claim there is no agreement in sight.
