Daniel Levy has called on Premier League managers and players to help English football deal with the financial problems caused by the coronavirus crisis by accepting lower pay after revealing that Tottenham Hotspur have reduced the wages of their 550 non-football staff by 20%, in some cases by placing them on furlough.
Tottenham’s chairman said his club’s operations had “effectively ceased” during football’s enforced shutdown and urged coaches and players to do their bit to protect jobs. Although there is an acceptance from some within the game that coaches and players at top-flight clubs will have to accept wage deferrals, an agreement on the issue has not been reached.
