West Ham players agree to defer wages as Moyes and Brady accept 30% pay cuts

West Ham players have agreed to defer a portion of their wages amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis, with head coach David Moyes and vice-chairman Karren Brady accepting a 30 per cent pay-cut.

The club announced a long list of measures on Friday which will ensure that they can continue to pay all non-playing staff in full.

Southampton became the first Premier League outfit to unveil their plans for salary deferrals, and the Hammers have now followed suit, with shareholders and joint-chairmen David Gold and David Sullivan set to pump £30 million ($37m) into the club to ensure stability during the uncertain weeks and months ahead.
