Sad to say PFA don't believe there is no money at clubs. These figures if needed will be independently audited by Delotties IF clubs want/ need to defer wages.
PFA WON'T agree to cuts

yes this is where the £200 million is from

So if the PFA don't believe the figures that means they will be fighting pay cuts or deferalls for their members/players, but ultimately the clubs have the decisions to make about their futures and staying solvent so I can see most clubs offloading their out of contract players and because no one knows the future won't be offering many new contracts sadly going to be a lot of out of work footballers as with the wider working class going to be a lot of unemployment for the foreseeable sad times.

Rochdale have announced that due to the real possibility of no spectators through the door until at least 2021 to furlouge the majority of non-playing staff, senior management have taken a 50% pay cut and the on-line shop closed until further notice these steps have been taken to protect the future of the club.

Andyd;
Spot on; shorter contracts are offered in L1 and L2 with 1400 expiring on June 30th 2020; hence this being a critical date. Likewise clubs will have to reduce squad size. Some lads drop into non league but theses clubs totally rely on fans income to operate

Do some of that 1400 have 1 year options attached. or are these straight end of contract those that are will I think will 99% be ended.

its going to be like it was in the 70,s and 80,s again when lower league clubs will operate with smaller squads on lower wages at least for a season at least. its hardly going to be a new revolution in football. even stanley have paid wages out last season or so to some players who have hardly had a kick. may sound harsh but if you cannot make it in the game then you should look for work outside it.

If clubs wont renew contracts why on earth would they exercise one year options ?

Agreed to an extent .... but squads are a necessary evil to cover for injuries and suspensions.

Yeh and instead of focusing on the future of the entire pryamid in our game and how to stop it catastrophically falling apart all you read about is how they can finish their precious premiership

Premiership financially more implicated so can understand why.
Without Prem money football in this country would be very different.
Compared to virtually every other country, our EFL is 100 times stronger...
Do we want to go down B team route like other euro countries?
Not to say I haven’t heard noise coming from EFL however.

Brighton opposed to all ideas currently suggested...
Brighton have 3 ‘un-named’ cases in squad....
