Liverpool chairman Tom Werner has admitted the club made a mistake when they announced plans to furlough staff amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The Reds' owners Fenway Sports Group faced a backlash from fans when they revealed in early April they planned to take advantage of the Government scheme to pay 80% of staff wages up to £2,500 a month.
Within 48 hours they had reversed their decision after fierce criticism of plans to use taxpayers' cash while Liverpool's multi-millionaire first-team stars would still be paid by the club.
The row was reminiscent of when the Reds raised ticket prices to as much as £77, which led to a mass walkout at Anfield in February 2016.
