Supporters of Everton have been airing their love for a club announcement which the Toffees posted to their official Twitter account.
On Tuesday night, the Merseyside club announced that they ‘have committed to paying all directly-engaged matchday and non-matchday casual workers’ while football remains suspended (per Everton), which fans loved.

As part of the same announcement, the Toffees also revealed that Everton in the Community would be doing the same as the club (as per Everton).
After the club’s Twitter post, though, supporters continued to air their delight with the Toffees and the clarity that they had provided for their employees.
Yet another reason for me to be a proud Evertonian

What do we think?
The announcement from the Toffees is great to see and it is fantastic that the club is looking after their employees while the Premier League remains suspended (per Everton).
As can be judged from the responses from supporters, they are also delighted to see the club confirming that staff members will still be paid, which seems to have caused a real sense of pride amongst the Goodison Park faithful.
