Captains of all 20 Premier League clubs have set up a WhatsApp group to come together to battle against plans to force top-flight stars into significant wage cuts, according to reports.
Players are said to be furious over the proposals to force them into accepting a proposed 30 per cent reduction in wages after the Premier League met the Professional Footballers Association in Saturday.
But their revolt appears to have gone up in scale with the Daily Mirror claiming the 20 captains have now banded together to not break rank and reject the plans, which one skipper is believed to have branded 'disgusting'.
