Should players cover clubs staff wages?

Legally of course they don't have to, but such is the disparity between a footballers wage (premier I really talking about) and the club's staff maybe morally they should.

Footballers in the prem could probably take 2yrs out with no wages and feel little impact, the club's workers will be impacted by a weeks wage cut no doubt.

I see Barca have taken a massive pay cut so the staff receive 100% of the wages, has to be applauded. Hopefully the Premier League players will follow suit....I think its the decent play here.

Yes it's entirely up to them. But if they have a conscience they will. I, and I'm sure most people, think it's fair and will think less of those who don't.

Personally as a LFC supporter I will be flabbergasted if the Liverpool players and club do not offer assistance to the people who help run the club; stewards, cooks, secretarial positions etc etc.

Liverpool and Klopp are all about 1 club and I expect them to club together and follow our great anthem of not walking alone. I say this because I have great belief in our club. Players like Mane, Salah, Milner and Hendo imo will probably lead the call to help...I honestly fully expect it.

Hopefully we will embarrass the likes of spurs who imo are a fkn disgrace!!

For once GB I completely agree. I expect the same from United players, except the ones like Rashford who have already done well.

I think both utd and liverpool will cover the cost...they are working class club and it's something if shanks and busby were alive would probably do together as a joint venture.

Agreed as above.

I also think pretty much any EPL club and the biggest two up here will be already doing a hell of a lot on a day to day basis. It just doesn’t get shouted about from the rooftops and therefore not picked up by the press. I also think already high earning players will just be quietly doing their bit.

Yeah..your probably right ginger.

Let’s be honest people. It’s got nothing to do with whatever club, group, category you identify or identify with; it’s all down to the individual. There’s no obligation, legal or otherwise, to comply. We’re currently in a place called shiiitstreet, the way to get out of it is currently unknown, nobody’s fault, but just hang on there together, we’ll get though it.

there is no football without the fans so no huge salaries either. the players with any integrity will be happy to help out as im sure many already are.
glad to see leeds players and management have offered to take a wage cut.

They are no more working class now than any other club. They pay their players £300 grand a week, and spend fortunes on players.

The days of working class clubs have long gone.
