Manchester City pledge not to furlough non-playing staff

Manchester City became the first Premier League club to confirm that their non-playing staff will not be furloughed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Compared to City, Liverpool's non-playing staff were suspended on furlough. Tottenham, Newcastle United, Norwich City and Bournemouth took similar action by utilising the government's furlough scheme. City took a divergent move on Sunday, with a club spokesperson saying in a statement: "We can confirm, following a decision by the chairman and board last week, that Manchester City will not be utilising the UK Government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (government-funded furloughing). "We remain determined to protect our people, their jobs and our business, whilst at the same time doing what we can to support our wider community at this most challenging time for everybody."
