Time for football to bail out the lower clubs

[Jedi boro]

The prem is awash with Billions and yet there is talk of the lower league clubs going to the govt to ask them to help them.

Surely the prem can use some of their billions to help the others in the football pyramid at this time.

Its a lovely thought isn't it. Why do I feel this will widen the gap between the haves and have nots even further though?

Clubs are part of everybodys community. Mine ( National League pyramid) organises food banks, provides some support for the vulnerable too and genuinely has a local feel. They are now desperate for money themselves. The players can get 80% of their wages (they are paye) so will stay on until contract are up on May 10th. But after that.

Sobering thoughts. Meanwhile Paul Pogba is working his agent to get himself a multi million pound deal elsewhere where presumably he still wont care for anything but himself.
