Tottenham’s O’Hara: Pay-cuts would hurt Portsmouth players

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Sun, 03/14/2010 - 03:31

Portsmouth's on-loan Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara says wage-cuts for the players would hurt them.

Despite the huge salaries earned by Premier League players, he says Pompey should take care over making any cuts.

He said: "If it's something everyone has to do, then it's something everyone has to do.

"On another level, every person lives to their means and people have to look after their families.

"Footballers earn a lot of money, but they also spend a lot of money because that's what they earn.

"People have to look after their families and that's something they will have to look at."
