Brighton and Hove Albion manager Graham Potter, Chief Executive Paul Barber and technical director Dan Ashworth have all taken pay cut for the next three months.
The trio have taken ‘significant’ voluntary pay cut but no decision has been taken on whether to furlough any of Brighton’s staff.
Chief Executive Paul Barber said: ‘’It is entirely appropriate that we play a very small part in reducing the financial burden.’’
‘’We have seen our income literally disappear overnight.’’
