Yes, it's a disgrace what spurs for example have done
If a club is ran well there should be no need for players to take a pay cut while keeping all the none playing staff.
They don't have to. However I believe it is bad taste not to.
Alternatively, they all donate 1% of their wages into a pot. Or 5% and that goes to the staff.
Contractually - probably not. However, it would be a great gesture to get people onside.
Once this is over and done with people will probably need to spend more carefully and they may not wish to spend on those that didn't help those less fortunate. The football gravy train (at the top end) could be about to come to a halt.

How long do you think clubs should continue to haemorrhage cash with no income?
How long can any business?
Nobody can sustain this if it goes on for months on end.

yeah wishful thinking. The clubs are now making no money. The longer this goes on, the more clubs will be in trouble going forward. Could lose a lot of lower league teams due to this
Clubs must still be making some money

Clubs are not getting money from the gates and game day money.
From what I know they are still getting TV money (will have to be paid back if season is VOID) and they are still getting paid by sponsors and other revenue streams.
Eventually this will not be sustainable I agree but no way should a CL club be putting staff on furlough leave right now. That is just poor ownership.

Hahahahaha
Behave yourself
Not all Footballers are flushed with cash, even in the Premier League.
My sister works with a very well paid Premier League player, he is buying houses (on very short mortgages due to length of contracts) for members of his family, and he is skint without bonuses.
One of his colleagues, who has played in the Prem and the Champions League this season is on £1,500 a week currently.
But yes, those who can afford to cover the wages of staff should help them out.

I'd call it good management tbh.
And I'm not sure how they are paid these monies but it will likely be in instalments with a final lump payment made at the season end.
That is now uncertain but they will have budgeted to get it.
But yes; I'd expect players on significant salaries to get together and make a very public gesture to those less fortunate. They may to be fair to them be doing individual things which just aren't headlined though.

Because it's not fair so it isn't.
Let's enact something which is illegal, raid people's bank accounts of anything over £1m and give it away.
Or spend it on something and keep the remainder

I have a few quid in the bank built up over years of investing my bonus when I worked for another company for 20 years into their scheme for buying shares. (Not in your league squire Ginger)
It is not millions but its a few quid rainy day money or to go towards my retirement if necessary along with my AVC fund.
Why should I give that up having foregone all those bonuses over the years to build up that little nest egg for myself?

I think most clubs operate on a loss year on year anyway no? or close to their profit margin. Either way, just a month can make a huge difference. let alone several.

I take it under fifa fair play rules those clubs that have rich owners will not allow those owners to pump money in to pay wages when the money dries up with no income coming in.
