Premier League clubs to consult players on 30% wage cut as resumption delayed

Premier League clubs to consult players on 30% wage cut as resumption delayed

English Premier League clubs will ask their players to take a 30% pay cut in order to protect jobs as it was announced the season will not resume until "it is safe and appropriate to do so".

All clubs have agreed to put the proposed "combination of conditional reductions and deferrals" to players.

The English Premier League will give assistance of £125m to the English Football League and the National League and also £20m towards the National Health Services.

The EFL, Women's Super League, and Women's Championship have all been suspended without setting a target return date, meaning the entirety of English football is on hold indefinitely.

In a statement, the Premier League stated that the Premier League will not resume at the beginning of May and the 2019-20 season will only return when it is safe and appropriate to do so.

They say any return to play will only be with the full support of government and when medical guidance allows it.
