Tottenham have reversed their decision to furlough 550 non-playing staff after players expressed their fury at the club's controversial call.
Spurs have joined Liverpool in backtracking on their original plan to use tax payers' cash via the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, which entitles businesses to claim from the British government 80 per cent of an employee's monthly wage up to £2,500.
Sportsmail understands Spurs players were left angered by the club's decision to furlough non-playing staff, as well as the move to enforce 20 per cent pay cuts to other employees.
There was a feeling within the squad that the decision reflected dismally on the club as a whole, with the hierarchy known to have been made aware of their players' resentment.
