- 80% of wages to be paid through government scheme
- Club announced £42m pre-tax profit in February
Liverpool have become the latest high-profile club to furlough non-playing staff on the day Burnley warned that some Premier League clubs could lose £100m as a result of the coronavirus crisis.
The Premier League leaders announced their decision to put approximately 200 employees on furlough as managers, captains and representatives of all top-flight clubs held a conference call to discuss wage reductions and deferrals, or a combination of both, of up to 30%. The proposals, outlined at the Premier League stakeholders’ meeting on Friday, will be discussed among squads over the coming days with a view to reaching a collective agreement by the end of the week.
