Britain's Health Secretary Matt Hancock has called on Premier League stars to do their bit during the ongoing coronavirus crisis and accept pay cuts.
A number of clubs have so far made staff take pay cuts, but are yet to cut the salaries of their on-field stars. Mirror Sport understands that a number of Premier League clubs have begun a campaign to try and get all 20 clubs to sign up to a collective bargaining agreement to bring in wage cuts, deferrals and also make use of the Government’s furlough scheme.
However, the Professional Footballers’ Association has written to all of its members telling them not to accept wage cuts or deferrals without speaking to them first.
