Aye the rest of the squad took a 12.5% cut. Ozil and two others (who weren't named) refused to accept it. As I recall it all said he is on £350,000 a week. He would still be getting over £300,000 a week with 12.5% cut - although clearly minus tax but even then he is getting a hell of a wage no matter what.Excellent gesture. I did say a while back that these types of gesture need to be made public. We shouldn't tar all footballers with the same uncaring selfish brush.
On a similar but opposite note, some-one told me yesterday that Ozil at Arsenal has refused to take a pay cut on his in excess of 300k pw salary. Don't know how much truth there is in that .
Kronke has loads in the bank and many Arsenal fans will probably enjoy seeing him suffer-he took a bashing at last years FSA conference.Aye the rest of the squad took a 12.5% cut.

surely taking a 50k a week payout means he'd pay 25k a week less tax.Aye the rest of the squad took a 12.5% cut. Ozil and two others (who weren't named) refused to accept it.
