Gary Lineker slams Tottenham move to cut staff pay amid coronavirus pandemic

Gary Lineker slammed Tottenham after the Premier League side announced they would reduce non-playing staff's salaries by 20% amid the coronavirus pandemic. Lineker said he expected top-flight players to step up and do their bit to contribute to the fight against the deadly virus. "The way Tottenham have handled it I don't think has been very good," Lineker told BBC Radio 4's 'World at One. "What they are doing to their staff I don't agree with whatsoever. "But that is a separate issue to what the players do. It's the club that has said that the players are going to carry on with their wages, but let's see how the players react to it." Players across Spain and Italy have agreed voluntary pay-cuts with the entire Barcelona squad, led by Lionel Messi, agreeing to 70% reductions while the coronavirus crisis continues. And Lineker urged patience concerning Premier League stars stumping up cash. On his own decision to make a charity donation, Lineker added: "I've decided that I'm going to donate two months' net salary to the British Red Cross, who are on the frontline trying to help in all sorts of different ways. Hopefully other people who are in a position of relative wealth can do something similar." Source: The Mirror
