With fixtures currently suspended indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic, clubs across all leagues are fighting to stay afloat with the inevitable financial implications.

Speaking on the 'When Sky Invented Football' podcast, Pomlett has confirmed that the majority of staff at the club have been put on the government furlough scheme, meaning they get 80 per cent of their wage while not working – however the club are topping up the remaining 20 per cent of the wages to ensure all staff are paid in full.

He also said that the club are working towards putting the players on furlough, but they must wait on the governing bodies to act.
