The Premier League will not resume in May but hopes to get players a reduction in wages reaching 30% of their annual income to cope with the financial crisis born of the epidemic of Covid-19, she announced in a Friday communicated.
Consultation does not mean agreement. So now it's left for the clubs to come to a deal with their players and the union. Might be easier now that all teams have agreed a framework.

End the season at any cost
