Financial fair play will go out the window with all this. Can’t exactly say we are living beyond our means when we haven’t furloughed with assistance or reduced the staff wages.

If this is true,and John Cross is the number one journalist for Arsenal stuff, Ozil is an absolute tool. Beyond contempt.

I have no issues with clubs like Vale doing this, I'm surprised they didn't announce it earlier to be honest. Some of those players will earn no more than your average employee especially the younger ones. And credit where it's due, the Vale owners may not have the wealth of ours but in other ways their support to the community during the Coronavirus crisis has been superb......

Yes the Vale owners come across very well

What on earth can Mesut Ozil need 350 grand a week for?
He cant manage on 300 grand a week?
All the while Doctors and Nurses put their lives on the line for a fraction of Mesuts weekly salary.
There is no way to justify their behaviour. I would prefer it if they just admitted they are greedy wankers - instead of always blaming someone else

Its called window dressing and all tax-deductible no doubt. If hes such a nice guy he would donate money AND agree to lower salary for a few weeks. Its not a case of one or the other. He is still gonna earn 300 grand a week for sitting on his ass doing nothing. I dont think he'll be going hungry and he might just win some kudos from the likes of me and the general public. Its all heading towards financial ruin for many clubs - but I wont mind seeing Arsenal in the shit to be honest, such a horrible club with plastic fans

Like I’ve said in previous posts Matt Players have mortgages and outgoings like everybody else so they will finance their life according to their earnings It’d be like you or myself buying a £1m house with a couple of nice cars etc etc etc and then being asked to pay for all that on £1k per month We’d be well within our rights to say no as it would be impossible

That will be interesting if it comes off. As much as I would love to earn 7k per week, this could bring footballers closer to fans. If they keep going I can see footballers having to do a shift down the pit before turning up for a game just to make ends meet.😂😂

I would welcome some kind of salary cap, but I think the level they are asking for is just asking for trouble and would end up in legal cases and defeat for the EFL. I reckon a 30% drop across the board would be sensible given a third of the season has been lost. Revenues will be down approximately 30% for clubs on this season so surely that should be the FAIR kind of level to balance things. Players going from 25k to 7k per week is asking way too much. It sounds like a PR gambit with no chance of success. Im not seeing many sensible ideas going around

Not a chance of it happening. While I agree that footballer's wages are out of control, the maximum wage was abolished in 1961 and it ain't going to be reintroduced now. (Would it even be legal to enforce a maximum wage at an individual player level?) Why should clubs who attract large crowds / sponsorship / commercial incomes like say Leeds & West Brom be limited to paying the same wages as say Luton (or Burton Albion when they were in this Division) who don't have anything like the same income capability? It would be a benefit to the brown envelope manufacturers (as it was before the original maximum wage was abolished). and open the door to corruption at a level not seen since the 1960s match fixing scandal. If there is going to be a "salary cap" then it has to be similar to other sports as a cap on total wages as either an amount or a percentage of turnover with the clubs allowed to make their own decisions on how the money is allocated. I actually think that the effects of the current situation will be so severe across all of football that there will be a natural readjustment to football finances and wages that will make FFP and wage control irrelevant.
