the owner of the Everton, Farhad Moshiriapologized to the team’s fans after a dismal campaign that nearly ended their 68-year uninterrupted tenure in England’s top flight, the Premier League.
Everton narrowly avoided relegation to finish in 16th place, only securing Premier League survival in their penultimate game of the season with a 3–2 comeback against Crystal Palace.
Moshiri was criticized for the unpopular appointment of Rafa Benítez, who was sacked in January after six months in the job and replaced by Frank Lampard.
“Mistakes have been made and for that I want to apologize to all of you,” he wrote in a letter on the club’s website, adding that the board had led a strategic review of operations to identify the reasons they were doing poorly. . “A lot of the learnings have already been implemented,” Moshiri added, highlighting the signing of Lampard as one such example.
Moshiri went on to express support for the people of Ukraine, saying Everton had offered Dynamo Kyiv a friendly at Goodison Park to raise money for those affected by the Russian invasion, which Moscow calls a “special military operation”.
