CASH-strapped Ipswich Town have asked all their staff – including players – to take a pay cut for the next few months, The Evening Star reveals today.
The club is introducing a pay referral scheme – between two and ten per cent of salaries – in an attempt to staunch its losses after relegation.
The Star understands that club chairman David Sheepshanks, manager George Burley, new chief executive Derek Bowden and a number of players have led the way.
Some will notice a significant fall in how much they take home.
The scheme is voluntary, but staff – especially high-earning players – are coming under pressure to agree to it.
