No decisions taken over wage cuts in the Premier League, confirms PFA

However, the BBC has reported that PFA has written to all its members across the English football pyramid and has asked them to be patient. The letter, the BBC added, went onto confirm that the PFA are looking at a club’s financial situations before making any decisions over a wage cut or paying deferral and have urged players not to agree to the same. It has, however, seen the likes of Newcastle United, Tottenham, Norwich City, and Bournemouth all confirm that there has been either a furlough or a wage cut to their non-playing staff.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, Cherries boss Eddie Howe and his staff have all taken pay cuts, while all non-essential staff during this crisis at Norwich City have been furloughed. But, with a meeting taking place between the PFA, the Premier League, the League Managers’ Association (LMA) and the English football league (EFL), clubs were hoping for a resolution over player’s wages but that isn’t the case. A joint statement, released by all four organisations, went on to reveal that no decisions have taken place with discussions still underway.
