A staggering 92 per cent of British people think Premier League players should take a pay cut during the coronavirus crisis, according to a new YouGov Sport survey.
Clubs are currently weighing up the financial costs of the Covid-19 outbreak with all English football suspended indefinitely as the global crisis escalates. The PFA - the players' union - met with the Football League, the Premier League and the League Managers' Association on Wednesday to discuss financial implications.
Many Premier League stars earn well in excess of £100,000 a week, but have not yet been asked to take pay cuts or deferrals, while the non-playing staff members at clubs are being furloughed and taking home 20 per cent less themselves.
