Just to make it clear my anger is not aimed at the players.
It is, however, directed at the clubs and the players suffer some collateral damage through no fault of their own.
If clubs can afford to continue to fully pay the players then they, the clubs, should not expect the taxpayer to pick up the tab for 80% of their non-playing staff.
If the clubs want to ask the players to take a reduction in salary to help pay the wages of the others then that is up to them.
Mind you if I were a player I would want to be certain that the Club couldn't otherwise afford to maintain those wages.
Beyond that it should be up to the players to decide if they, either individually or as a group, make further charitable donations.
So it is clear my gripe is with the clubs and not the players.
