It's a crowded field but perhaps the most risible intervention in the stand-off between clubs and players this week came from Dr Erkut Sogut.
He is the agent for Mesut Ozil and - leaving aside that in the current climate nobody should be allowed to call themselves doctor unless they wear a white coat and can fit a ventilator - negotiated Ozil's £350,000-a-week deal at Arsenal.
Sogut said that agents should have been involved in the negotiations over wage cuts and deferments. He then demonstrated exactly what he would bring to the table.
'I wouldn't recommend agreeing a cut today, because I don't know if tomorrow the league will be played,' Sogut said.
