By index | April 12, 2020

This means that the footballers from the top-flight clubs of the English Premier League will face a prospective £100 million-plus cut from their income in order to save the clubs from the lower leagues from getting ruined. No one imagined that they would face a situation like this and so the Premier League has taken the decision to cut this huge amount of money from the players’ salary to help those clubs.
