Tottenham Hotspur reverse furlough decision for non-playing staff

Tottenham FC has reversed its decision to use the UK furlough scheme for some non-playing staff during the coronavirus crisis following criticism from supporters.

The club earlier announced that 550 employees would take a 20% pay cut in an attempt "to protect jobs".

But on Monday, a Spurs statement said non-playing staff will receive "100% of their pay for April and May".

Only board members will now take salary reductions, the statement added.

That includes chairman Daniel Levy, who earned £7m last year.
