The thing about the current setup at BDTBL is that we're all in this together from top to bottom. If that's so I'd like to know why the unbelievably well paid players, when seeing that the club is closing on financial problems due to the lock down, haven't gone straight to the club and offered to drop their pay to help the club pay the salaries of their colleagues? Strikes me they are happy to sit back and pass that responsibility to the rest of us.I have an element of sympathy for the players in this; it doesn't take much for there to be national outrage at footballer's wages and, actually, I genuinely think a sizeable majority of them would easily be willing to donate their money. They've just been thrown right under the bus by their clubs announcing they'll be using the furlough scheme without any consultation with the players first of all. Maybe this probably shows the moral fortitude of the Clubs themselves that they don't even consider this to be an issue but it's resulted in some really bad PR for footballers not of their own making (Jack Grealish aside).
