Uncomfortable with PL players being singled out so emphatically by so many - especially opportunistically in government. Populist and easy. They are not responsible for the decisions clubs, billionaires, or authorities make. They're willing to help, PFA have told them to wait.

Really dislike the promotion of the generalisation that players are detached. Many actively involved in the areas they’re from and now work in, are aligned with charities and do plenty of good work away from the press. Lots advocate for equality, tackle environmental issues etc

They are being conveniently scapegoated. 'Hey, don’t look at this giant mess over here or there and ignore all these mega rich mates of ours, what about those player salaries?’

There has been willingness for deferrals/cuts, which is being talked through, albeit slowly.
