I too took comfort in salary cut after hearing on R5L an agent & a PL Chairman saying

that the cuts were usually in the region of 25-35%, but then someone, who I think was in the know on here, said Bassong is still on ?25k per week.

I know the windfall is handy, but what percentage of a drop does it represent? If it's a lot bigger drop than the cut in wages, it's going to hurt.
