According to a report from the Daily Mail, West Ham boss David Moyes and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp are both set to take pay-cuts.

The global health crisis that has swarmed the planet over the past two or three months has not only had tragic consequences for human life. But it has also affected every form of entertainment.

And now everything is up in the air.

The financial repercussions for the game have already been clear to see.

According to the Daily Mail, however, some Hammers and Reds players argued the fact that they should not be forced into taking a 30% pay-cut.

They would allegedly prefer to help out the NHS with charitable donations. Obviously that way, their donations would not be taxed.

But Moyes and Klopp seem to be happy to take the step that some of their players are reluctant to do.

The Daily Mail claims that the West Ham and Liverpool managers are prepared to take a temporary 30% pay-cut until the global health crisis eases.

And that is commendable. Whether it is the best solution, however, is up for debate.

Let’s just hope life gets back to normal as soon as possible.

And Premier League football brings the joy back to millions of peoples’ lives.
