This week on The Indy Football Podcast, the team discuss the remarkable news that Liverpool have reversed their decision to place some non-playing staff on temporary leave during the coronavirus pandemic.

Host Luke Brown is joined by Senior Football Correspondent Melissa Reddy and Northern Football Correspondent Mark Critchley to ask whether Liverpool should be praised for their U-turn or pilloried.

The team also take a look at the Premier League clubs who still intend to place some staff on furlough: Bournemouth, Norwich City, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur. Is it ever morally right for football clubs to furlough staff? And, as one of the richest clubs in the world, shouldn’t Spurs be doing better?

Plus Mark brings us up to speed on the latest developments in English football outside of the Premier League, before we then tackle some of the recent questions you have sent us.
