Players met and decided to defer their wages so no playing staff get full pay. Fantastic decision by the club and exactly the right attitude. Saints also said they wanted to give something back to the community.
What this will do is pull the club further together and probably even make more supporters from the local community. Football clubs are part of the community and this gets missed due to the disparity in wages between players and supporters. What's saints have done is remember where the are in the local community......same as Liverpool and M City and eventually Spurs for example.
Supporters won't forget what plays / clubs have done during this period and their actions will go a long way in defining their future standing in the game.
Huge shout out to all the players.......of all those clubs who remembered it's the supporters and non playing staff that matter too
Well done Saints

They haven't refused to take a pay cut, they are in negotiations.
Surprised a Liverpool fan falls for the red top sensationalised headlines...

Liverpool are also still in negotiations with their players about pay cuts/deferrals.

Dunno how long it takes to take a 30% across the board cut to be honest.
LFC have already done damage to the clubs rep. if the players refuse to take thier cut they will finished to me

Where has 30% come from? Southampton players have taken 10% deferrel (not cut) and are being labelled heroes.

United players have taken a 30% cut for this month at least. It has to go to the NHS.
Are they heroes, not in my book, not risking their lives, or becoming poor!
But I'l still pleased they did it, and hope it lasts until the end of the confinement.

Really wish they wouldn't take a paycut.
Wish they'd make hefty contributions from net pay. Then there is a drastic loss of tax income at a time we desperately need it. Reducing PL footballer's wages by 30% reduces the income tax take by £200m...
