All those staff who have been furloughed will still receive their full wage, with the club topping up the remaining 20%.
It doesn’t quite sit right though that clubs that are paying players thousands, and hundreds of thousands (in the Premier League) of pounds per week are using and what feels like exploiting the government furlough scheme.
I really hoped it would be the Boro players who set the example by giving up some of their massive wages to help support their club and staff during this crisis. I think it would have made fans see some of them in a very different light. They still might though, we’ll see.
