I don't really see it as the responsibility of football to set the moral tone or lead the nation through the crisis. That is the job of government
It also makes me nervous when people demand others effectively pay voluntary additional tax solely based on their profession. Ironically many of these are people who vote against the party that would increase taxes on the highly paid
Where are the demands that bankers, tennis players or entertainers earning similar sums should take pay cuts. Bear in mind that at least two of these can have such earning capacity for much longer
What is the threshold for taking a pay cut? Does it depend on the league you are in or whether your club is making a profit or use of the government's schemes.
What should happen to the money saved by pay cuts, should clubs keep it or donate it
Should highly paid execs at clubs take similar cuts or just the players?
Is any account taken of personal circumstances? Family size, financial commitments, time to retirement, prior earning history etc
As for clubs using schemes implemented by the government they should be subject to the same laws as other businesses. If they are somehow exploiting them they should be held to account for that as with any other business.
If there are loopholes that make this impossible the government should be held to account for incompetent drafting of legislation
