There are over 2.5k millionaires in this country.It is not a good look for sure BBTC. Mind you there are a lot of other very well paid people who are keeping their heads well and truly down!

Yes, but it's the excuse the PFA are using that's particularly crass.There are over 2.5k millionaires in this country.
I agree that top footballers are easy targets and agree that they are not the only ones who could afford to take a financial sacrifice. However, unlike sportsmen who are now on full pay for doing sweet FA, a lot of millionaires are company directors who are working flat out to keep their companies afloat and their employees in a job.Disagree that Premier League players should be singled out by the Health Secretary though, as bigmart points out, there are plenty of other millionaires around.
But you look at the likes of Richard Branson and Philip Green who've made vast amounts due to the efforts of their employees and the former in particular would be well placed to do this and haven't.I agree that top footballers are easy targets and agree that they are not the only ones who could afford to take a financial sacrifice.

I still can’t believe the PFA’s argument. Even Donald Trump on a bad day wouldn’t buy that. Following their logic, we should all ask our employers for a pay rise so that the NHS would get even more money in income tax .
The season will almost certainly be completed behind closed doorsA decision taken because of the club’s emotional ties to the community but all clubs will be battling lack of income and the PL clubs will take a massive hit if the season is not completed and they have to pay back 750m to the TV companies.
I think that may be the only way to complete it for the foreseeable future. They could play the matches on separate days and times, so all could be televised live. That would more than satisfy the TV companies and the clubs. But would having to buy Sky or BT to see your club's home games be popular with the fans? I doubt it, but when have the fans had a say? What I've said might be what is decided for the EPL, but I'm not sure what the lower leagues will do.The season will almost certainly be completed behind closed doors
I agree, but playing in empty stadiums would be the quickest way to get restarted. It could work at the higher levels but possibly not lower down.I think it will be some time before any matches can be played, behind closed doors or otherwise.
They went back to training yesterday in germany, it is.likely to be june/July that games can be played behind closed doorsI agree. Until this starts slowing down and is somewhat under control I don’t think it’s wise for any groups to get together. Although I did read somewhere that the Bundesliga were back training but with strict measures such as doing drills in pairs.
