Premier League players pay stop to fund small clubs and ventilators
Enforce the pay stop of all Premier League players, with the money being used to keep small clubs afloat, and build ventilators to help save lives from being taken by Covid-19
Premier League players earn in some cases more in a week than most people do in 10 years. Normal people are taking paycuts, small clubs will die out, and there are not enough ventilators to save lives in this country.
Stop the money going to elite league players who do not need it, and force clubs to pay it to causes that do. Football is nothing if people are not around to go watch.
