Tottenham Hotspur released an update on their furlough and wage cut decision this afternoon, revealing that all non-playing staff would still receive 100% of their pay for April and May.
This change will cover all staff, no matter whether they are part-time, full-time, or furloughed. The club also added that the board would take salary reductions.
Tottenham also added that it would no longer look to use the government furlough scheme after it realised that the decision was unpopular among fans.
This comes after the club initially reported that it would be putting all 550 non-playing staff on the furlough scheme in which they would receive just 80% of their wage.
Such a decision came under vast scrutiny from all corners of football and politics, with the club coming under mounting pressure to reverse their decision.
Liverpool, who also originally announced that it would be using the furlough scheme, made a U-turn on their decision after receiving a backlash from fans (BBC).
