Brighton chief Paul Barber has warned that coronavirus is 'probably the worst crisis' football has ever faced and that Premier League clubs cannot afford to wait any longer for a deal over player pay cuts.
The Albion chief executive has called on the PFA to ‘come together’ with clubs to help broker deals between players and their employers because 'clubs are in trouble' and need help now.
Brighton were set to make a loss for the second time in three top-flight seasons even before this crisis struck.
With those forecasts now looking even worse amid the ongoing shutdown, Barber, manager Graham Potter and technical director Dan Ashworth have taken pay cuts.
