Aston Villa players and staff agree 25 per cent wage deferral

Aston Villa's first-team players, สมัครสมาชิกfun88 coaches and senior management have agreed 25 per cent wage deferrals for the next four months to assist the club financially during the coronavirus pandemic.

Villa chief executive Christian Purslow said in a statement released on Saturday that the measures would enable the club to retain all non-football staff - including part-time workers - on full salaries throughout the lockdown.

"I am pleased to announce today measures to protect the livelihoods of our precious staff and their families," Purslow said.

The move comes amid debate over whether สมัครเล่นเกมยิงปลา it is right for Premier League players to take wage cuts and deferrals given the considerable wealth of the majority of club owners.

Purslow appeared to defend the club's owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens, who bought Villa in the summer of 2018 before overseeing the club's return to the Premier League last season.


"During the two seasons since วิธีเล่นไฮโลออนไลน์บนมือถือ Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens rescued Aston Villa they have supported and funded the rebuilding of the club with a huge level of personal financial investment," Purslow said.

"They are continuing to provide substantial funding which, combined with these significant salary deferrals, enables Aston Villa to confirm that all non-football staff - full and part time - will be retained and paid in full throughout the lockdown.

"There will be no furloughing of staff."

Norwich and Newcastle are currently เว็บหนังออนไลน์ดีที่สุด the only top-flight clubs using the government's job retention scheme, while Liverpool, Tottenham and Bournemouth all reversed their decision to furlough non-playing staff, following widespread criticism.
