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. But it is not only important but also their responsibility to save those needy clubs to keep the sporting spirit intact.
