the question is....why should they???In lots of private sector businesses, the highest earners have taken a pay cut (10-20% reduction for senior management team at the one I’m currently working at) while company income was down due to Covid. This so the lower earners didn’t need to and to protect jobs.
The players and manager will be by the far the highest paid staff at most clubs so why should they not do the same to support the colleagues who earn what is likely a fraction of what they earn (say 25k vs 2.5m...or 10m)
they also have families, children to pay for, bills to pay, they also pay huge tax, give money top charities, do charitable work. Not very footballer earns 2.5m or 5m or 10m.....so which ones pay and which ones don't???
at what stage do we stop blaming the players and start blaming the owners of these clubs, who decide what players to buy and what to pay them??
