Premier League Clubs agree a 50% pay cut for all players for 12 months.

No it hasn't happened.

Just a thought, probably hypothetical, should it happen and the clubs receive a commensurate reduction in TV money payments to be then distributed amongst lower League clubs?

The whole structure of the professional game is in danger of disappearing. Should there be a short term redistribution of wealth for the good of the game?

The leagues going to the government with the begging bowl whilst players are earning £250k a week and multi million pound agents fees still being paid along with ludicrous transfer fees can't be right.

What difference would it make to a player earning £10 million a year to have that reduced to £5 million?

What are your thoughts?....

Is never going to happen so nothing more than a thought experiment.

How can anyone make ends meet on £200,000 a week?

It's a scandalous suggestion darrenrover and  shows how out of touch with the 'real world' most fans are.

They are paid far too much. It's one thing a Messi or a Ronaldo being paid a fortune - but when you've got average squad players on millions a year it's ridiculous.

Not a chance they'd agree to take a 50% pay cut for 12 months.

And why should they really?

They are being paid what the market dictates is their worth. Devils advocate, should everyone earning above £1m a year take a 50% pay cut or is just footballers?

My sister has had to accept a 25% cut in pay whilst working from home for months.
