THFC furloughing decision Trust during lockdown Your questions Update on Trust events Football to Amsterdam 2020 Trust Members' Forum  The Executive Board of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has today announced it will not be cutting staff pay or using the Government's furlough scheme. It has agreed to meet the objectives we set out in our statement of 10 April.
 It’s now 10 days since Spurs announced their decision to cut the salaries of 550 non-playing staff by 20%, and their intention to place a proportion of those on the Government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. 10 days during which mass supporter opinion against these decisions has solidified, and 10 days during which the reputation of our Club has repeatedly taken body blows in both national and international media. It’s also been 10 days for us as a Trust of listening to our members, relaying supporter sentiment and urging the Club’s Board to rethink. We now want to give THST members clarity on our approach and to update fans on our position, appreciating that the situation is both fast moving and unprecedented.
 The COVID-19 pandemic is taking all of us into uncharted territory. Every one of us is dealing with our own personal circumstances in uncertain times and the challenge of the day-to-day becomes increasingly difficult the longer the situation continues. We hope our members, and football fans everywhere, are coping as best they can.
Against this backdrop, football issues had paled into insignificance but in the last few days the sport has come to the fore again, and members have been in contact with us to ask about our own Club’s statement regarding salary reductions and the furloughing of around 40% of the Club’s non-playing staff. |
