'I fear for some clubs' - Ex-Tottenham chairman slams Premier League players for refusing wage cuts

Only Southampton and West Ham players have agreed to pay deferrals so far in the English top-flight, a fact which does not amuse one former chief

Former Tottenham chairman Alan Sugar has hit out at Premier League players who have been reluctant to take wage cuts, saying he fears many clubs won't be able to survive without them.

The Premier League has been shut down for more than a month as the coronavirus pandemic continues on, with no clarity yet as to when play will be able to return.

As clubs continue to lose money from a lack of games, Sugar has expressed his concern for the future of the league he helped form in 1992.
