Rejected petition Enforce pay cuts to footballers during the COVID-19 pandemic
I want the gvt to step in and direct the FA to demand clubs cut footballers salaries during the COVID- 19 pandemic. These players are earning disgusting weekly salaries and the NHS is on its knees and the staff are putting THEIR lives at risk whilst the footballers stay at home drinking Moët!

Get the FA to step in
