For those without Twitter:
"Over the course of the last week we, as a group of Premier League players, have held numerous talks together with the vision of creating a contribution fund that can be used to distribute money to where it's needed most in this COVID19 crisis; helping those fighting for us on the NHS frontline as well as other key areas of need. This is a critical time for our country and for our NHS, and we are determined to help in any way that we can.
We can confirm that after extensive conversations between a huge number of players from all Premier League clubs we have created our own collective player initiative, #PlayersTogether, and have partnered with NHS Charities Together (NHSCT) in order to assist them in generating and distributing funds quickly and efficiently to where they are needed most.
NHSCT is the national umbrella organisation for over 150 registered NHS charities, working closely with the Charity Commission, Department of Health and Social Care, and NHS England to represent, champion, and support the NHS' official charities. NHSCT are the official charity partner of the NHS nationally.
The contributions that this initiative will generate will help NHSCT quickly grant funds to the front line to support in a number of ways, including to help enhance the well-being of NHS staff, volunteers and patients impacted by COVID-19 as well as helping them in their work supporting many other critical areas of need both now and in the longer term.
#PlayersTogether is about we, as players, collaboratine together to create a voluntary initiative, separate to any other club and league conversations, that can help get much needed funds to those that need it right now. To try and help, along with so many others in the country, make a real difference.
Our prayers and thoughts go out to everybody affected by this crisis. By sticking together we will get through this.
Stay home. Protect the NHS. Save lives."
#PlayersTogether

great. now also hand over the 30% to keep the clubs open as well.
Good stuff from the players but needs to be separated from the economics of the game.

How long before agents start asking for a fund to support their financial losses?

It’s not. Anyone can put anything on it. Of course there are genuine posts but there’s a lot of unregulated crap too..

Yes but as has been explained to you so many times before, that doesn’t make the platform itself unreliable. It’s neutral platform, so the reliability in it will always be regarding a particular account. You can’t get more reliable that Jordan Henderson’s own twitter account.
