LONDON: Wayne Rooney has criticised the government and the Premier League for placing footballers in a 'no-win situation' over proposed pay cuts ...
Initial talks were already ongoing before key political figures, including Health Secretary Matt Hancock, called for action."If the government approached me to help support nurses financially or buy ventilators I'd be proud to do so - as long as I knew where the money was going," wrote Rooney.
"In my opinion it is now a no-win situation," he said."Whatever way you look at it, we're easy targets." A PFA statement released on Saturday following the conference call said the combined tax on player salaries was a significant contribution to funding essential services. "The PL are handling the CV crisis terribly," he wrote on Twitter, before outlining a checklist of perceived mis-steps including their slowness in imposing a lockdown and the"PR disaster" of furloughing.
