​Liverpool hero Carragher aims dig at Spurs, Newcastle over furloughing

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has aimed a dig at Premier League clubs Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur.

Carragher was unhappy with how Liverpool furloughed non-playing staff members.

They are not the only club, as Spurs and Newcastle took the same step. But Liverpool went back on that move after fan outrage.

Following a statement by Liverpool CEO Peter Moore regarding the correction of their mistake, Carragher took to Twitter to say: "Well done @PeterMooreLFC @LFC a big mistake initially & thankfully now it's been put right."

Carragher added: "My timeline seems more angry now that LFC have changed their minds on furlough payments than when they did to start with!

"They made a mistake, supporters were very vocal & the club reversed it through pressure, shame or common sense.

"Go after the clubs who haven't changed tack!!"
