PFA's concern for players

586 players from Premiership and FL players were released on Monday, and Taylor fears that the continued belt tightening could see around a third of them dropping out of the professional game.

He said: "We could lose a third of the 586. Our job is to get them fixed up but i'd be pleased if two-thirds stayed.

"People talk about players' salaries but are not as eager to look at the insecurity of the profession."
