Jamie Carragher and Graeme Souness have praised Tottenham's decision not to use the Government's Job Retention Scheme to pay their non-playing staff during the coronavirus crisis.
Spurs had planned to use the furlough scheme on offer, which sees the Government pay 80 per cent of an employee's wages, up to £2,500 per month, until they are able to resume their job full time.
The decision, also made by Liverpool before they also dramatically changed their mind, prompted huge backlash from the football community, particularly after chairman Daniel Levy had been paid a salary of £7million over the last year – which included a £3m bonus for helping to 'deliver' Spurs' new ground.
