West Ham's players have agreed to defer part of their wages during the coronavirus suspension, with David Sullivan, David Gold and fellow shareholders agreeing to inject £30million into the club.
After Southampton struck a deal with their players on Thursday, the east London club have announced an agreement over wages to help deal with the impact of Covid-19.
West Ham's first-team squad are deferring a percentage of their salaries, while manager David Moyes, vice-chairman Karren Brady and finance director Andy Mollett are taking a 30 per cent cut.
Sullivan, Gold and fellow shareholders have agreed to inject £30m cash to help ensure stability, with the joint-chairmen, who continue not to take a salary, deferring interest payments on shareholder loans.
In a statement, West Ham said: "The savings created by the measures above will support the entire infrastructure of the club and enable us to retain jobs and continue to pay 100 per cent of staff salaries.
"It will also help us to continue to support the most vulnerable in our community.
"Through our award-winning Foundation, and the Players' Project we have delivered, West Ham United has pledged £28m and saved the NHS £1.4m in the 150-Club diabetes programme alone - and these vital life-saving programmes need to continue."
Hammers skipper Mark Noble led the players in deferring their salaries, while it is thought he has also been vocal in the WhatsApp group with all Premier League captains involved.
West Ham were struggling near the bottom of the league when the season was suspended, sitting in 16th position and level on points with 17th place Watford and 18th place Bournemouth.
Brady recently said she thought the league should be made 'null and void', but she has since backtracked on that claim, saying she believes that the campaign can still be concluded.
