Spurs fans have been reacting to the news that the Tottenham squad are reportedly unhappy with Daniel Levy’s decision to furlough 550 non-playing staff at the club.
According to the Daily Mail (via Ricky Sacks), the Spurs players are disappointed and unhappy with Daniel Levy’s decision. The North London club announced that they would be furloughing a significant number of non-playing staff, a decision which has led to a lot of criticism.
Harry Kane and Tanguy Ndombele reportedly earn £200,000 a week at the North London club, so it seems baffling that Levy is reliant upon the government to pay his non-playing staff during the Premier League suspension.
Do you think players could request a move away because of Levy's actions?
Yes
No

Levy is losing much more than money in all this. It’s the beginning of the end. He won’t recover from this.

Surely this is a sign for levy to go before he ruins the clubs reputation more

I can see some of them leaving and I don’t blame them. Levy and ENIC have ruined the club.

This could be the straw which breaks the camel’s back and mass exodus of players – or excuse they will use

These Spurs fans are glad that the players are upset with Levy, although some seem worried about the potential repercussions of a possible fall-out with the chairman.
What do we think?
It doesn’t seem as if Levy is planning to reverse his decision to furlough staff and you wonder whether the players will begin to vocalise their apparent displeasure with his actions.
