Premier League wage poll result revealed

Over 47% of Claret and Hugh readers polled believe Premier League players should take a 50% cut in wages while football is suspended.

A further 18% say it should be a 75% cut while another 9% say 100% wage cut is the right thing to do.

Another 9% believe a 20% cut is a fairer outcome while 8% believe they should have their wages deferred during the suspension of fixtures.

Surprising 5% of nearly 1,000 polled say the footballers should continue to receive their full amount and their contracts should be honoured.

The remaining 4% of voters believe the wages should be cut by 30%

A report by Sky Sports News claims Chairman of Premier League’s 20 clubs will push to agree to a blanket reduction in players’ salaries of up to 25% today.

Under one proposal expected to be discussed, the money would be refunded to players in full if the season is completed in front of crowds, with a smaller rebate in the event that the remaining fixtures had to be played behind closed doors.
