You are a very good and committed judge of the game and the Villa Ads, it is inly to be expected that you are chafing to get some action.  I want it back but not at any price.

All PL players should take a 50% cut in wages for a few months. That would avoid putting other club workers onto the Government 's furlough scheme. It's immoral that the likes of Spus are going down that route. Plenty of other companies need the furlough scheme not greedy football clubs.

The tone deafness of the footballing world is astonishing.

Premier League football plays a central role in British life. Clubs and players are put on pedestals, treated as role models and heroes. They did not ask for it to be that way but to say those at the top do not benefit, and enjoy benefiting, from that privilege is nonsense. That is why actions such as those taken by Newcastle, Tottenham and Norwich have immediately and pungently failed the smell test.

In the middle of all this are the players. We are used to the fetishisation of their great wealth and the question, never far behind, as to whether they deserve it. They did not create this problem but their union, the Professional Footballers’ Association, is wrangling with the Premier League over whether their wages should be subject to alteration in order to help clubs stay afloat.

The club can confirm chief executive Neill Blake, first team technical director Richard Hughes, manager Eddie Howe and assistant manager Jason Tindall have taken significant, voluntary pay cuts.

Or a week's worth of their monthly wage. That in itself should be sufficient.

Football clubs will be in huge Financial Distress, unless they can come to new arrangements with players you will potentially see the use of Insolvency procedures across the leagues.

Osman started all this.  Clubs racking up unsustainable debts to buy and pay players.  It was never going to end well.

Premier League players should take significant paycuts. These could be weighted so the stupidly high earners hand over the most. The proceeds should be used to protect jobs and salaries accross the football league; and the Premier League's privilleges ended.

I miss it and the normality that came with it. It's hard to be engaged with anything particularly current about it, given the absence of games or the summer window tediousness.

I agree. Trying to work up about whether Dean Smith is a good manager or not at premier league level  or whether we should spend/waste another 100m in the summer feel very trivial atm.

Would it be fair to suggest that we’re less exposed to this than a lot of PL clubs in as such that we don’t have those huge contracts on the books that many PL clubs do, as well is rich owners?

Can’t imagine that our wage bill is that high by PL standards.

I’m sure your typo actually meant to say Bosman, Brian?

And if you do, I wholeheartedly agree.
His freedom of contract/movement stance put all the power into the hands of the players or more accurately, their (bastard) agents.
