West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady says players need to take a pay cut for EPL clubs to survive coronavirus shutdown

Premier League football has been on hold for four weeks following the outbreak of the coronavirus in England, and West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady has warned that clubs could be wrecked if players don’t take a pay cut.

The PFA claimed slashing salaries will only serve the shareholders’ interests, and the Hammers chief isn’t happy with them.

With games suspended and the sales of season tickets for 2020-21 on hold, EPL clubs haven’t been able to generate funds.

Retail outlets online and offline are also closed, and Brady has urged players to take a pay cut in order for clubs to survive.
