I remember when I was working up in Sunderland as we just taken over Joplings dept store, Sunderland got relegated and sacked a lot of the staff, we took some of the warehouse guys on, speaking to them, the players wanted to pay the wages so no one was sacked, the PFA would not allow it, saying it wasn't the players problem, the players had a massive row with Gordon Taylor over it but were not allowed to put there hand in their pockets
