Gary Lineker has shot down Labour MP David Lammy on Twitter in a row over Premier League players taking wage cuts. Football clubs around the world are feeling the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, which has brought all sport to a halt in almost every country.
Premier League clubs are beginning to put their non-playing staff on government furlough, while players continue to collect 100 per cent of their lavish salaries.
A few teams have acted in recent weeks, with the likes of Leeds and Barcelona making their players take wage deferrals. Meanwhile, Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has taken a voluntary pay cut to help non-playing staff at the club.
