'A lot of players have a huge conscience about what we do': Chris Wilder insists Premier League will 'do the right thing' on wage cuts during coronavirus pandemic

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has backed players and managers to 'do the right thing' by taking a pay cut.

Premier League clubs have proposed wage cuts of around 30 per cent to ease the financial burden caused by the coronavirus pandemic, while the league has announced a contribution of £20million to the NHS and £125million to the lower leagues.

Meetings are taking place between the Premier League, Professional Footballers' Association and League Managers' Association in the hope of coming to an agreement.
