Nan’an thus became the first Premier League club to reach an agreement with players on salary concessions since the outbreak of the new Crown pneumonia epidemic.
Nanan said in the statement that the directors of the club, members of the first team coaching staff and players have agreed that the club will postpone the payment of part of their salaries from 4 to 6 months, in order to help protect the future of the club and the club staff and even the community where the club is located. According to The Daily Telegraph, the proportion of delayed salary payment is 10%.

The Premier League announced on the 3rd that 20 clubs agreed to seek opinions from players on the proposal of 30% salary reduction. However, the trade union Professional Players Association issued a statement on the 4th, saying that they believed that salary reduction meant less tax payment, in fact, it is harmful to the British medical system and even the government in urgent need of support.
Under the circumstance that the game was suspended indefinitely and the salary of high-paying players was paid, several Premier League clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur applied for government subsidies for temporary unemployment for some staff early. Liverpool, the “leader” of the Premier League, originally joined this line, but announced to change its mind under the strong pressure of public opinion, and apologized for their previous decision to push the club staff to the government.
The Premier League announced the suspension of the game on March 13. The current decision is that the game will not be resumed in early May. With regard to salary cuts, clubs are still seeking opinions from players in order to reach a consistent agreement within the Premier League.
