A bit shit if the players haven't taken a hit before the non-playing staff. These players are on obscene levels of cash and I don't give a %^*& that they've got a contract. They're getting paid to sit on their arses at the moment. Or in some players cases go out and get pished and crash their cars - however, that doesn't relate to Spurs at the mo.
Any club that hits it's staff before players needs to have a long hard look at themselves. Then again, players are probably a shit load more selfish with much better lawyers, that it is likely they would use.
