Apparently he doesn't want to be rushed into a decision which will leave him with £306,000 a week as his agent hasn't yet grasped 'the financial implications of it'. Very sensible as this will leave the NHS £24,000 a week worse off. Edited by Slimey Toad (21 Apr 2020 12.36pm) We must applaud him and all like him. Alternatively he could write a cheque or wire money to the NHS equal to the tax lost. Knowing Ozil he’s probably injured his fingers (playing FIFA) Edited by Rudi Hedman (21 Apr 2020 1.36pm)

Interesting article about the potential new Saudi owners of Newcastle. Bein are based in Qatar who are enemies of the Saudi's so have a vested interest in seeing the deal fail. Amnesty Internation are pointing out the numerous human rights violations perpetrated by the Saudi Government that must count for something as a fit and proper owner test? However if all else fails the PL should look at their own financial self interest which I why I have posted on this thread. Saudi Arabia has been illegally broadcasting PL football for years and is quite brazen about it. I would have though the PL would have said no to the deal unless this issue is resolved and the lost revenues refunded. I won't be holding my breath.

The owner of Arsenal is worth bn. The net worth of an owner in previous business is irrelevant. It’s whether the club can cover and operate. The Arsenal profit is a fair comment although it could be that profit is planned for Arsenal’s rebuild. Not exactly where they’re used to being in the league, are they. Again, that was all important to players (well debatable with Arsenal players seeing as tricks on YouTube videos look more important to them) but the squad and their team and club being a challenge comes after their wallets now.

So the owners can take out money in the good times but the players should pony up in the bad times?

I’ll keep the obvious take it in typo in there. Seen enough of them on tEle to see they’ve been an embarrassment.

The main part of their job is to play all the required football games. If that doesn’t happen I’m sure there will be negotiations on pay. Until that’s known it seems a bit early to make a call. In any case, the reductions being mooted are 10-20% which is unlikely to appease anyone using coronavirus as a stick to beat overpaid players with. I don’t disagree many are overpaid

The executives at Arsenal have taken a 30% pay cut. The directors, players and owner have all done well out of Arsenal and now the players think either the owner or club should absorb their huge pay when revenue is going to be much lower. It just proves they live in a fantasy. That club (fans) are going to be bled dry by anybody who can get away with it. It can happen to any club. Even Man U lol.

Players have only an interest about themselves, the majority couldn't careless about the clubs that pay their wages.

There’s medics stating that social distancing will have to continue until a vaccine is found. That’s might be just discovered, not in produce and circulation. With the possibility of social distancing up to Christmas we could see footballers being paid full wages for 8-9 months or more (the length of a full season). I really hope not, but I wonder if people will still think they shouldn’t take a pay cut. The premier league’s statement was, ‘’We will only restart when medical guidance allows’. Originally I thought squads could practice social distancing apart from training and playing football for a few weeks but I realise that isn’t likely to be adhered to even for a short time.
