Norwich City will "stick to their guns" on a decision to furlough non-playing staff, with the club expected to lose up to £35m because of coronavirus.

The Canaries and Newcastle are the only Premier League clubs currently using the government's job retention scheme.

Norwich say the suspension of football will cost them between £18m and £35m.

"The decision we made was in the best interests of the club and its staff," chief operating officer Ben Kensell told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"We've been very transparent that we're run in a self-financed manner. We generate a turnover of £123m - £93m of that is broadcast, and we've spent £125m this year - and that's how we run the club,

"Ultimately, if we had the available cashflow to not have to take up schemes then, like other football clubs have, we would."
