IT looks as if Leicester City has found a temporary solution to their cash crisis with players taking a pay-cut, or at least deferring their payment.

The first thing I say is that is good news because as a fellow professional you don't like to hear about clubs being in trouble and footballers not getting paid or having wages slashed.

And we don't want to be in a position where clubs are having to fold because that will mean a lot of players will be out of a job.

Scare stories seems to be happening with increasing regularity and we have even heard people saying that our club is going into administration and savings must be made.

The papers are full of it but as far as Burnley's players are concerned, I can say we have not been asked to take a pay cut and we have been told that our contracts will be honoured.

And I think it should be pointed out that while things are tough at Burnley, they are a lot tougher elsewhere.

In our division you have got clubs like Leicester, Coventry, Sheff Wed and Bradford that are £20-£30million in debt. We have all been told how Burnley is £4million in debt because of the loss of ITV Digital but the other clubs can't blame their losses on that, their debts are simply too big.

You see figures like players being on £25,000-£30,000 a week and, believe me, there is no one like that at Turf Moor.

Some clubs have three or four players whose combined wages would cover the whole Burnley squad.

But no matter what a player earns off the pitch, all that matters is what happens on it as the Macedonian team proved last night against England.

Leicester's players have reacted in the right way to relegation and we know we will have a tough test on Saturday. But we are in confident mood and will be desperate to get another good result to keep our run going.

With players coming back from injury the manager has some tough decisions to make but it will be great to have a bigger squad to chose from.
