Everton fans on Twitter have been lauding their club's policy on payings non-playing staff amid complications that the pandemic has thrown up for businesses all over the world.

Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have come under fire recently for their respective decisions to furlough non-playing staff, with the former's decision subject to plenty of scrutiny over the course of the weekend.

However, it seems that Everton are set to go down a different path altogether, one which has induced feelings of pride amongst the supporters.

Indeed, The Athletic's Greg O'Keeffe recently posted an article covering the club's strategy to tackle the current issues, with club CEO Denise Barrett-Baxendale's attitude and intelligent foresight a core theme which underpins the piece.

The Toffees faithful lauded the strength of the leadership shown by Barrett-Baxendale as some suggested she, along with the rest of the club's decision makers, is setting an example to the rest of the division.
