Not many Premier League players will need to be told to play their part in the fight against the financial effects of coronavirus. The Premier League has proposed a universal 30% pay-cut for all players, but where would that money go, exactly? Not all Premier League players are multi-millionaires, yet they are being generalised — and, in some places, criticised — as a single group whether they are superstars or not. I am sure that over the coming days and weeks, we will see Premier League players donating millions of pounds to where they feel is necessary. On top of that, we have seen the Premier League promise to advance £125m to the English Football League and National League and give £20m towards the NHS.
