“ Gary Lineker has also said it is unfair to single out high-earning athletes but expressed confidence that action was imminent, citing recent conversations with players.
“Why not call on all the wealthy to try and help if they possibly can rather than just pick on footballers?” Lineker said during an appearance on Andrew Marr’s BBC One programme. “Nobody seems to talk about the bankers, the CEOs, huge millionaires. Are they standing up? Are they being asked to stand up? We don’t know.”
Lineker was critical of top-flight clubs, including l Liverpool and Tottenham, who have furloughed non-playing staff using the safety net of the Government’s job retention scheme.”
Lineker wants it fair and he might get it - 60-70% tax for years, instead of few months of 30% cut (for footballers not doing any work too!)
