'Kenny Dalglish will be disgusted... it's totally against what Liverpool is': Danny Murphy slams 'grotesque, silly' decision to furlough non-playing staff

Danny Murphy has hit out at Liverpool's 'grotesque' decision to furlough non-playing staff – and claims icon Sir Kenny Dalglish will be 'disgusted' by it.

Liverpool have come in for significant criticism after the announcement on Saturday that they would be placing around 200 employees on the government's job retention scheme.

While they have promised that they will top up the 80 per cent they will receive from the government with the rest of their pay, this has not stopped a significant backlash.
