If they take a 30% pay cut, revenue misses out on 200 million in taxes. Think about that for a minute.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The point of doing it, is that the clubs can pay their staff without government I help, and the balance to the NHS. Think about that for a minute.
Lower income clubs need help, top clubs don't.

Two sides here. One is the players and their agents. They need to get together and find a way to help out the non playing staff and society as a whole. Maybe say providing some cash from their post tax pay. At the end many people give to charity net pay.
Then there are the clubs in particular the premier league ones. The shameful use of the govt scheme. And in few months time when the transfer window opens you know they will be spending some obscene amounts.
We all have been missing football past few weeks etc but things like this is a real turn off.

and you know this because?
Seriously I would have assumed you would be quite correct given the perception of the numbers invovled but if contracts to players are honours with no money coming in then inevitably they will all be insolvant.
Frankly a club like brentford, Absolutely. Were building a ground and so forth and so on and they will be really struggling i expect. use the furlough.
A club like LIVERPOOL? 46mil profit recorded last year??? can't afford 4 or 5 million if this goes on 6 months?
theres something illogical there that your statement and the clubs actions don't align. Pure greed doesn't really cover it either.

just on the point above.
If we get back to football in august say, and liverpool buy a player for 40mil. I will not be happy.
every penny to the exchequer should be paid back with interest.
It was said a couple of seasons back, not to sure exactly when, but it was said that the Premiership could survive a season without fans at games!..
If that's the case, why cant they help your NHS and lower clubs more?..
They could claw anything given out now back in a season or two, football is their world and they claim grass root football is include in that!..
And then crap on the Lower leagues!..

you are either being deliberately obtuse or don't get it.
The facts are at this point Burnley have stated that they stand to lose 50mil 45 of which is TV money and 5 is remaining match day revenues (4 or 5 games)
Right now all the revenue is gone so your point about premier league without fans is moot. Theres no tv money to make that statement relevant.
The current situation is clubs have x money on hand and y outgoings.
If Y keeping going out then x will be all used up.
the reality is at this point some efforts have been made to pay money to the lower leagues. Lord only knows if the amount is enough or not to have lower leagues after this.
the other reality is I don't see the bundelsiga doing any more. In fact they donated pretty much IDENTICAL fund to their own lower leagues.

I can assure you that Levy will avoid spending huge amounts if he doesn’t have to.
This would be true at any time though

kyle walker under investigation for trying to hire some call girls.
that 30% eh?
"Salary costs in the 20-team Premier League for the 2017/18 season increased to £2.9B ($3.76B), an increase of £400M ($520M) over the previous season."
Assuming player wages are 3bn now then 10% is 300m. The 200m that Rooney is concerned about? Thats 6.7% pf the 3bn. So how about the players take a 36.7% paycut and keep the contributions the same to the NHS which they seem to be concerned about.
just so we are clear here.
if the players take a 30% pay cut the money stays into eh clubs.
the 30% is just to keep the clubs afloat til the big bucks start rolling again.
