Liverpool have reversed their decision to place some non-playing staff on temporary leave and apologised to fans.
On Saturday the club said they were going to apply to the government's taxpayer-funded job retention scheme, sparking a fierce backlash.

But in a letter to the club's fans, chief executive Peter Moore said: "We believe we came to the wrong conclusion last week... and are truly sorry for that."
He said that as a result of "extensive consultation and our own internal deliberations, we have opted to find alternative means".
Liverpool became the fifth team to furlough non-playing staff with the season suspended indefinitely because of the coronavirus pandemic.
