Some Spurs fans have been left divided on social media over Daniel Levy’s controversial announcement that the club will be cutting 20% of the wages of all non-playing staff.
The Tottenham chairman goes on to explain the difficult situation the club find themselves in financially due to the economic slowdown as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
He insists that the decision has been taken to protect jobs in these troubling times.
Some Tottenham fans on social media were fuming with Levy for cutting the wages of non-playing staff instead of the players.

A few were also worried that we are going to see little or no transfer activity at the club over the summer.
Here’s how some fans reacted to the news:
