I think that the biggest issue here is that Employees at the lower end of the pay scale and conditions aren't protected in law against their bosses doing something like this to them. Maybe we as football supporters should show some solidarity with other workers instead of having a go at footballers who i'm sure will help those in need at the club.

Why should tax payers pay for all the backroom staff to sit at home during the crisis while the players still pockets full wages? Football is morally corrupt.

So, money that could be used to beef up the NHS is instead being used so that Vincent Tan saves a bit more cash.

Vincent Tan, net worth $1.6billion
Vincent Tan, 30 days ago sold £55m worth of shares in LAFC.

Let's hear it for Vincent "The Leech" Tan. But, let's not say all this because,,,, well,,,, we need a new striker.

Tan isn't the only one. People will remember how much of football responded to a national crisis. If only more football people had the moral fibre of Ramsey.

Exactly. I think it is a travesty that Vincent Tan has taken such a short amount of time to leech from the UK Government at a time where 2,900 people have died, our Health Service is stretched, and people are losing jobs. He just made millions from LAFC. He can afford to pay those wages, most of those employees are on low wages. Despicable, reprehensible behaviour. But, sadly, not unpredictable.

Interesting that Juventus players (amongst others) have agreed to forgo wages for 4 months, saving around 90m Euros.

I think players here will have to, terrible PR if they don’t while so many people are having wages cut.
