Player representatives of the 20 Premier League clubs and officials from the Professional Footballers Association union met with the Premier League on Saturday.
The talks on Saturday were not described as a negotiation and no decision was expected to be taken, but the PFA issued a statement which questioned the logic of the league's stance. "Taking a 30% salary deduction will cost the Exchequer substantial sums. This would be detrimental to our NHS and other government-funded services."
"What effect does this loss of earning to the government mean for the NHS? Was this considered in the Premier League proposal and did the Health Secretary, Matt Hancock factor this in when asking players to take a salary cut?" the union asked in their statement.
