I'm not sure the evidence suggests that the players will 'deal with it' As John says, they seem to be hiding behind a desire to view the financial circumstances of the clubs before they make a move. It's self evident, whether its Chelsea or Cheltenham, that revenue has completely dried up, so you are suggesting that owners use their funds whilst arguing that players should still be paid at the normal level...If owners should dip into their funds (I don't disagree) then why is it not reasonable for players to accept a little pain too?1. Well, if you consider that most of the owners of PL clubs are not fat cats then so be it. They're hardly poor, are they?
Why can't they contribute? For many of them a billion dollars is a drop in the ocean
2. I'm sure PL players will contribute something. Many of them do charitable work and realize that they are lucky. Give them time to sort something out. But I don't see why they should be especially targeted, especially by the pathletic Health Minister. Weak attempt at deflectiion by him.
3. None of us wants City players to suffer or the club to suffer, but it should be the PL, FA and League that organize this and cough up themselves. I repeat, the players will deal with this
