Lord Sugar has slammed PL stars’ ‘Mickey Mouse’ approach to coronavirus
Lord Sugar said: “Their association, whoever it is, came up with this Mickey Mouse letter saying we are all going to do lots for the NHS.
“But they gave an umbrella, get-out-of-jail free card for all Premier League football players so they didn’t have to commit themselves.
“The problem with it was there was no quantum in it, just they’re all going to give a few bob.
“Are they going to give £5million, £50 or 50p?
“It’s typical of football players and the professional association, they’ve got away with murder again.”

Lord Sugar insisted his criticism did not apply to every Premier League star.
He added: “Let me make it perfectly clear, there are some players that have been exemplary and have really done some great things.
“I don’t want to tar all of the players with the same brush.”
