The PFA have told players not to accept any offers of pay cuts, i'm not sure what you expect them to do? Loads of them are doing stuff for charities and the community, we just don't hear about it as they either do it for no publicity or it's just not as newsworthy as Jack behaving like a twat.

What got more publicity, the Villa squad giving all that money to Acorns a few weeks ago or Jack being a twat?

Sounds like the Premier League are offering 75% across the board. Will see how it plays out. In honesty, Taylor has much less power than usual anyway as they can't exactly threaten to strike, can they?

To clarify: that's 75% of their wages not a 75% cut.

So they should, Taylor in the end, loves his OBE, these are very emotional times, in any case they need to think long term, much bigger picture, this (last) season is over, I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if the next season didn't start as normal, not in the slightest.

Maybe blame the PFA as it seems they won't currently allow any wage deductions for players, and have instructed every player not to accept any wage deduction offers until they've spoken to the PFA as a squad and the PFA have seen each club's finances.
It may seem shit that clubs are doing it but they are still paying out massive sums with nothing coming in apart from maybe online merchandise sales.

That’s part of it, but even without that the Premier League clubs are swimming in money and the approach is just a disgrace.
I can not see how PL clubs are swimming in money

We're living in a different time, albeit hopefully temporarily. I don't think there's much kudos or even self-satisfaction to be had from acting discreetly when it comes to making sacrifices at the mo. Set an example. Be humbly big, brave and bold, and people will think better of you. And they will remember afterwards.

I guess that fits with 25% of season lost and be the settlement with TV companies.

I think we'll hear tomorrow that it's been delayed until June at the earliest & if that date can't be met then it'll be cancelled.

Players salary should drop for 4 months to 60%, 25% to cover the remainder of the season & 15% to support lower league clubs.

If Sky / the PL want to protect their product then they too should provide some level of support to lower league clubs. Everyone has to contribute.

PL clubs bleed money daily, with the exception of 1 or 2 with a worldwide merchandising and brand presence (ala Manchester United).

I don't think they'll accept that it will be cancelled. They seem determined to ignore common sense and have players playing somehow.

Not that it means much in the grand scheme of things, but heard Jeff Stelling on some radio show on the way home and he was saying that it should be cancelled and decided on some kind of points / games played coefficient. 

As I say, might just be his own views, but interesting that one of the main faces of football on SKY now talking about cancellation.

Well if it was decided like that, we would be relegated because we made the League Cup Final and would, quite rightly, sue them senseless.

If they do relegate us - and we sue - i assume all we would get his money - but we would still be back in the Championship

Also how long would it take before it came to court - clever lawyers could drag this out for a year +
