Actually well said from the Daily Mail. The argument about how players shouldn’t take pay cuts because they pay tax is an utter disgraceful attempt to deflect from the situation. The government announced £350bn increase in fiscal spending to combat the situation immediately, and the PFA think £200m spread over 12 months is somehow the difference between life and death for the NHS at this time. I understand the point that come the transfer window clubs will undoubtedly be throwing money around but to try to make some moral justification for turning their back on any attempt to help is pathetic.Interesting take from Martin Samuels.
MARTIN SAMUEL: Players must wake up. Football is now an empty shop with nothing to sell and big bills to pay - and PFA boss Gordon Taylor's last stand
threatens its good name.
I’d also say if clubs really are struggling they should furlough the players and make an extra contribution back to the government or charities to offset the government funding. That would stick it to that awful man in charge of the PFA
