Redknapp expects Premier League managers to take wage cuts and praises players' coronavirus response

Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has praised the fundraising efforts of Premier League footballers during the coronavirus crisis, and says he expects managers to take pay cuts.

Players from each of the 20 Premier League clubs came together to form the #PlayersTogether initiative, donating money directly to NHS charities providing support across the UK.

Some had previously come in for criticism for a perceived lack of action while the initiative was being put together, but Redknapp says he knew players had good intentions.
