"Very "considerate" of footballers not wanting to reduce their pay by 30% as it would deprive the NHS of vital funding due to lost tax revenue.. How about they just give 30%of their pay directly to the NHS?? " That's exactly what the captains of PL teams, lead by Jordan Henderson of Liverpool, are discussing among themselves. | |||

"The cost of the government back schemes to cope with the pandemic is estimated at £350b or 15% of GDP. This does not include additional funding for the NHS. In the aftermath of the crisis we can all expect higher taxes to help pay for the cost of effectively saving lives. Some will or should contribute on the ability to pay. A premiership player earning £150k a week seems ludicrous to me but post crisis those people have to step up to the plate like all those currently in the front line as key workers. " I like the phrase 'additional funding'. I said yesterday alternatively they could actually go after the people who dodge tax. Let's see if big business 'steps up'. | |||

"As an ex professional footballer it annoys me that everyone turns against the profession. Why does the Health Secretary or the PM not offer to drop their wage to the same as a nurse during these hard times? NHS I salute you all but surely this can’t just be on the Highly paid footballers to contribute. What about actors? Film Stars? Bankers? Politicians? " Because it's an easy target. Its to stop people asking why we are (ultimately)bailing out the likes of green and Branson. Lets see if they go after CEO's or bankers. | |||

"Don’t be fooled by the diversion ! This isn’t a story about taxation . Tell me you think it’s acceptable for a football club that is able to pay 11 men, 6million pounds a month to kick a ball around and yet go cap in hand to the british tax payer for 80% of 400+ non-playing staff wages. Checks and balances ! The PFA are cleverly diverting our stare away from what is actually a disgusting abuse of a system set up to support those who absolutely need it." I would agree with that but would add that there are a lot of other organisations with extremely rich owners trying to or doing the same.. Green and Branson springs to mind and ask anyone who has had experience within the NHS about how virgin care is viewed and how much they have taken from the NHS.. | |||

"When will the players finally realise thatvwithout an income their clubs will go under. No doubt Sky will be asking for their funding back as they are not generating any revenue as no games being played. Why should they get paid the ridiculous wages whilst doing nothing? Yet still folk are smokescreening and defending them. It could be the end for football if they don’t act." No one is defending them People are saying shouldnt all rich people/companies make similiar sacrifices? It's been said twice now..why are billionadores getting bailed out? Or does it just apply to working class people? | |||

A lot of clubs make their money by selling their better players. The sale of one player, say for 25m pays the wages of all the ground staff, all of the secreties etc. If the clubs were to stop the players wages they would be in breach of contract and could just walk away. The club could end up loosing that w5m sale at the end of the season and could go bust or have to lay off a lot of their backroom staff | |||

"It's seems so dumb to just pick out footballers and blame them over any other individual earning 200k+ which is actually only the elite few clubs in the prem, what about every CEO, politician, celebrity? And players are more like assets to a club rather than an employee.. if they lose their footballers then its not much of a football club anymore! The general staff don't generate millions for the club but the players do!" You are wasting your breath. | |||

"They earn an obscene amount of money and some should be more generous with their money. They are in a privileged position. People with a lot less contribute a lot more. It’s a moral decision.

Agree entirely. Not to mention all those companies that pay less % tax then the average person. Not all footballers are on massive wages. You all want someone to blame for an underfunded NHS. Look no further than the Tories. And do not forget this nect time you are asked to vote for a puppet in Westminster. | |||

On a moral ground it doesn't sit well with me, but from a business sense if the government is offering to foot the bill and it allows companies breathing space, the government Will get it back through taxation. | |||

"The whole salary pay structure for high earners needs looking at not just footballers. As is being seen now, without the foot soldiers (NHS workers, shop workers, utility workers, etc) the whole structure is unworkable and faces collapse, even with the effort being put in by the government its all effectiveless with those foot soldiers. The myth has long been painted that you have to pay the best to get the best talent (at the top) however that top end pool that is needed is finite whereas at foot soldier level its nearer infinite, there never seems enough. Perhaps the simplest solution is that the top salary can never be xxxxx amount more than the lowest that way a fairer distribution can be made." I agree. I think politically now its going to be very hard to justify astronomical salaries. I suspect the top bracket for income tax will increase significantly to pay back some of the debt being racked up. | |||

As is being seen now, without the foot soldiers (NHS workers, shop workers, utility workers, etc) the whole structure is unworkable and faces collapse, even with the effort being put in by the government its all effectiveless with those foot soldiers. The myth has long been painted that you have to pay the best to get the best talent (at the top) however that top end pool that is needed is finite whereas at foot soldier level its nearer infinite, there never seems enough. Perhaps the simplest solution is that the top salary can never be xxxxx amount more than the lowest that way a fairer distribution can be made." Think that's an excellent post. The 'wealth creators' are treated completely different in this country.not only are they rewarded with huge salaries they also exploit every trick in the book to evade paying tax. Whilst we have seen the last few weeks its the lowest paid in this country nurses,delivery drivers,civil servants,cleaners etc who stop society falling apart. However that would require a total sea change and the last politician who suggested that was/is totally derided. | |||

The top of the industry is a wash with cash. It is also a very competitive indusrty where the chances of failure outway the chances of sucess. Clubs pay players high salaries... If they didnt they would go to another club. If you cap their salaries they will go abroad and pay less tax. But most importantly, instead of the players who play and earn their clubs riches, getting the money the.money in the game would just go into the pockets of fat cat chairman. | |||

I think politically now its going to be very hard to justify astronomical salaries. I suspect the top bracket for income tax will increase significantly to pay back some of the debt being racked up. " That would go against their entire creed. | |||

"Are you going to give 30% of your wage to the NHS??? No, didn’t think so. Footballers are employees who earn what their employer and industry feel they are worth. All of their earnings from clubs are fully declared and taxed correctly. Stop being a numpty and jumping on the ‘they earn too much’ bandwagon. Virtually all top footballers support (time and financially) many good causes and the vast majority will make a financial contribution to this issue. If you have an axe to grind against people who have found themselves in a very financially rewarding position I’d say footballers are a long way behind many others. Come on. A premier league footballer might be earning £100k a week. He's hardly going to be poverty stricken if he suddenly has to make do wtth £70k a week. Someone losing 30% of their income when they are on the minimum wage is obviously very different. That literally isn’t the point being made. You asked if other people would give up 30% of their salary. I'm making the point that some people could afford to temporarily sacrifice 30% of their salary whilst others can't. In the same way high earners pay a marginal tax rate of 45% and average people pay a rate of 20%" Again point missed. Asking EVERYONE in a democratic society to contribute different levels of tax dependant on their salaries is in no way the same demanding one specific line of employment to bear an extra burden as it meets your moral code. I’m Not saying footballers shouldn’t do something, I agree ALL that are above a a certain fiscal paypoint should contribute. But with transparency and fairness...... not the singling out of one strand of employment as it offends some people and looks good on Facebook. | |||

"Most working class and lower paid people are being Furlough'd and getting 80% of their wages. i think for these highly paid people (and not just footballers) a 30% cut is more than reasonable" So who exactly benefits from your 30% salary cut, ignoring for a moment the tax man loses his cut of the 30% which is millions more for you and your children to pay back.over the next 50 years ? Before you answer remember, the government doesn't pay their wages The amount paid to furloughed football club staff is far less than the tax on the 30% you want the exchequer to lose #nothanksnecessary | |||

It's ridiculous. "Couldnt that be applied to any sport? They are highly skilled professionals in the most popular sport in the world. Quite frankly I dont agree with some of the ridiculous wages but there is that much money sloshing around they deserve their cut.

the government could introduce a higher tax rate for high earners.
Include a temporary stop to tax free pension contributions and sanction personal high value money transfers overseas
I doubt this would get much support from the powers that be

Probably just a coincidence that Hancock highlights one group in society as he was changing policy last week.. Fecks sake, mandelhson used to do it all the time for Labour.. What do you think the likes of Cummings do to earn their 6 figure salaries.. If its now the case that all higher earners are expected to cough up 30% then that's going to be a surprise to a lot of tax evading tory donors and the Ceo's of multinational companies.. Let alone every other profession, but that's not going to happen is it.. | |||

I personally think he should have not answered it or said it isn't up to me to comment on peoples wages. I don't get the "give the money to the NHS" either, is it to help the NHS to pay for supplies? If so we shouldn't have to | |||

"This has just become an irrelevant distraction from real issues. Lack of money isn't the problem, getting the proper gear and test kits etc to the right places is. No amount of footballers wages is going to change that. Quite why they've become public enemy number 1 in all this is quite frankly bizarre. It was intended to be a distraction, there's an irony about some on here rightly calling people who are not socially isolating as stupid yet they've totally swallowed the spin doctors agenda..

And again yes in reality its impractical and should not be necessary, its pure deflection by those with vested interests in the system.. | |||
