Actions of the senior players have allowed club to ensure everyone keeps their jobsAllowed club to defer ST renewals for fans also (they were going out this week)Folk might be angry or whatever at players, personally I think that’s harshWorth remembering more you earn the more you spend, they didn’t have to do thisgreat effort from everyone in my humble opinionManager will be doing an interview with RTV about this later (again only my opinion)

50% wage deferrals, so they are not dropping a single penny in wages, they will make it up at a later date. Yes it helps cash flow in the short term, but I really don’t see this as much of a sacrifice from very rich and well paid people. A 30% wage cut until this is over and full time training can restart would have been much better for our club in the bigger picture as it would actually reduce our biggest overhead significantly at a time where we have nothing coming in. All the deferral does is add to our debt. Good to see we will be using the furlough system as well and topping it up to full pay for our support staff throughout the club. We are not in a position like a lot of the clubs elsewhere that can afford not to use this.

Hear hear. A solution that resonates in areas I hadn't even thought of.

Pragmatically speaking ... I always thought that a sun-storm will ruin the sky satellite armada up there and consequently the game in England with its utterly inflated market and teams paying abnormal sums in fees and wages. Looks like it is not the Sun's corona that will do it though, with Burnley speaking about upcoming insolvency ... which is still a bit strange, given the money Sky et al pumped into these clubs. Probably the "downside" of paying inflated fees and wages for average players. Hence, while it may not end the cash bonanza down there for good, it might bring people to its senses. Might also mean that no-one there or anyone else will hand us 20-30m for Alfredo anytime soon. Likewise, even though money might be tight, clubs could also look for ST renewals earlier than usual and bridge the gap somewhat. Found it interesting that the EPL players refused evena 30 % pay-cut during the crisis ... even though you wonder what the individual players actually do or want. Not least when you see Alfredo handing money to charities et al.
