The players union representing Premier League footballers has questioned the league's call for a 30per cent player wage reduction amid the coronavirus crisis, saying it would reduce tax revenue for the National Health Service.
Player representatives of the 20 Premier League clubs and officials from the Professional Footballers Association union met with the Premier League on Saturday.The clubs had agreed on Friday to consult their players regarding a combination of conditional wage reductions and deferrals amounting to 30 percent of total annual pay.
"The players are mindful that... the combined tax on their salaries is a significant contribution to funding essential public services - which are especially critical at this time," the statement said. "What effect does this loss of earning to the government mean for the NHS? Was this considered in the Premier League proposal and did the Health Secretary, Matt Hancock factor this in when asking players to take a salary cut?" the union asked in their statement.
