Dietmar Hamann has slammed Liverpool's decision to furlough the non-playing staff at Anfield.
The Reds announced the decision on Saturday, joining other Premier League sides in Newcastle, Tottenham, Bournemouth and Norwich City in using the government's job retention scheme.
The scheme, which has been implemented amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis, sees the government pay 80 per cent of workers' wages up to a maximum of £2,500 a month.
WHAT DOES FURLOUGH MEAN?
When an employee is placed on furlough they are temporarily put on a leave of absence and not paid, although they remain on the payroll, meaning that they do not lose their job.
