The Premier League said on Friday that clubs would consult players over a combination of pay cuts and deferrals amounting to 30 percent of their annual salary. Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe and Brighton counterpart Graham Potter have both taken voluntary wage cuts."I can only speak for myself but I would have no problems whatsoever contributing some of my wages to people who are fighting this on the front line and to people who have been affected by what's happening at the minute."
Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has backed players and managers to"do the right thing" by taking a pay cut.
