After mounting pressure, top soccer clubs in the UK say Friday they would ask their players to take a 30% pay cut as the sport grapples with the coronavirus pandemic.
Hancock addresses the media Thursday."Given the sacrifices many people are making" in the health service, he told a daily briefing,"the first thing Premier League footballers can do is make a contribution, take a pay cut and play their part."
While no one questions Liverpool should win the league given the team's dominant points tally, there are still huge questions about which three teams get relegated to the second-tier league, and which trio gets promoted the other way. As well as a possible 30 percent pay cut for its players, on Friday the Premier League said it would donate 20 million pounds to the publicly funded National Health Service. This has followed increasing calls for action from several leading politicians.
