Liverpool spent £43.8m on agents' fees between February 2018 and January 2019 – that figure would keep around 500 staff on full pay for almost 10 months. Premier League clubs using furlough is morally repugnant. UEFA have also relaxed FFP to allow clubs to survive this period.

If there was an edit button that text would show that £43m could pay 500 non-playing staff for 28 months.
