LONDON - The head of the union representing Premier League players says they have"agreed to play their part" during the coronavirus pandemic as pressure mounts to find a collective pay deal.
Fifa has urged players and clubs to reach agreement over wage reductions and players are reportedly set to start negotiations on a club-by-club basis. PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor told BBC radio on Tuesday that the players had"all agreed to play their part", adding they were"responsible enough" to know wages were a factor in any club's expenditure.
Taylor, 75, has donated £500,000 to the Premier League players’ fund for the National Health Service , after he was criticised for reportedly not taking a cut to his own £2.3 million annual salary. Liverpool, the European champions and the world's seventh richest club, ditched their controversial plan to furlough some of their non-playing staff during the coronavirus on Monday after coming under intense pressure from former players and fans.
