Blues & Wage Deferrals (8 replies)
Birmingham City have emerged as the first Championship club to ask their players to take wage deferrals, in a bid to protect their short-term future.
Players earning over £6,000 a week at Birmingham have been told to take a 50% deduction in salary for the next four months, in correspondence sent to agents which has been seen by Telegraph Sport.
Birmingham's board have asked players to accept a cut of half their monthly wages until June this year, with the salaries to be paid back in four instalments when the football season resumes.
