Premier League manager to take a voluntary pay cut, offering to work on substantially reduced wages at Bournemouth as top-flight clubs begin to get to grips with the coronavirus pandemic.
Howe, who earns £3m a year, and his assistant, Jason Tindall, are among four of the club’s highest earners to volunteer a decrease in wages with immediate effect, with the technical director, Richard Hughes, and chief executive, Neill Blake, also taking significant cuts in pay for the foreseeable future. Bournemouth have placed more than 50 staff on furlough but have agreed to top up government payments to ensure employees continue to be paid in full.
