After reading through these topics I have to agree with Andros Townsend about football players being vilified over this.
I think it's impossible to say this club shouldn't Furlough their staff, or player's/owners should take wage cuts etc... After all who knows when football will start again, this revenue stream might not even continue in August for the start of the new season and Sky/BT Sport might have lost so many subscribers that they can't afford the payments to the Premier league/clubs (I have no idea how these payments are made ie. amounts/dates).
Football clubs are currently losing money via revenue streams, such as tickets, merchandise, possibly sponsorship etc...and they are paying out salaries, have operations costs while not making the same income.
Then there's players on big salaries and automatically it's assumed they should take paycuts because of this. It's even difficult to figure out a fair percentage to deduct. Some players are paid different salaries and obviously have different expenses. I imagine there's numerous players that live paycheck to paycheck, this obviously sounds absurd to the average Joe. Just because they earn more in a week than we do in a year, but look at how many of them end up broke as soon as they finish playing.
It's not as simple as they get paid millions of pounds a year, owner's are billionaire's so they should pay this or that.
I think it should be up to individual players/owners to decide what, or if they can donate. As well as what a fair percentage they can afford in terms of a salary deduction or if they can afford one. Not to mention, the more they get paid, the more they get taxed to pay other people's salaries anyway.
