Liverpool lead the Premier League by 25 points from Manchester CityThe Professional Footballers' Association says proposals for a 30% pay cut for Premier League players would be "detrimental to our NHS". The PFA said all Premier League players "will play their part in making significant financial contributions in these unprecedented times". Brighton chief executive Paul Barber, meanwhile, said the Premier League was not ignoring the plight of the general population during the coronavirus pandemic. The PFA statement came hours after a conference call with the Premier League and the League Managers' Association (LMA), the managers' union, to discuss the wage cut plans. As part of the proposals, the Premier League would advance £125m to the English Football League (EFL) and National League, and give £20m towards the NHS.
