Dear Evertons,
While there is no denying that it was an amazing night when we turned the half-time deficit 2-0 to secure a sensational victory and guarantee a 69th consecutive season at the highest level of English football last season, we should not we are concealing the fact that we have performed less well in what turned out to be a very challenging campaign.
Mistakes have been made and I want to apologize to all of you. It wasn’t good enough and we need to do better. You have given us incredible support, which has helped us to cross the border when we needed it most, and we need to repay that support and show that the lessons have been learned.
More than any other club in England, Everton is the club of its people, community and fans and always will be.
I am committed to ensuring the future success of the club by providing a fully funded stadium that will support our status as a leading club. Our new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium project has reached an exciting and landmark stage when it comes out of the ground, with the four main cores already in place.

I am committed to ensuring the future success of the club by providing a fully funded stadium that will support our status as a leading club.
Of course, the stadium alone will not help us achieve our goals, and we are committed to avoiding the same mistakes again, including how we have not always spent a reasonable amount of money.
In the 2021/22 season, the Board conducted a strategic review of our operations, which included a review of work practices, our recruitment process and the whole structure of our football operation to clearly identify the reasons for our underrepresentation on the pitch. Many of the trainings have already been implemented.
Recruiting Frank Lampard as our manager is one example. He was the outstanding candidate at the end of a stable and clearly defined process, demonstrating the ability to combine his technical skills with passion, intelligence, humility and in accordance with the values of our club.
Other appointments such as Kevin Tellwell, our new football director, Everton women’s manager Brian Sorensen, coaching instructor Kevin Nicholson, developing technical advice and looking for both a new academy director and a head coach under 23 also reflect performance. of the findings of the strategic review.
Finally, we cannot forget the ongoing atrocities that take place every day in Ukraine. The response of the fans, players and management and their support for Vitaly Mikolenko, his country and the people who are still suffering from this inhuman attack was sincere and truly amazing. The club has already made an important contribution to the humanitarian appeal of the Committee for Emergency Situations in Ukraine and I can confirm that we offered a friendly match in Goodison Park of Dynamo Kyiv to raise additional funds to support Ukrainians – details will be provided soon.
Thank you for everything you have done to support your club so brilliantly during such a difficult season. You did not deserve the disappointment and fear that the season brought.
Your incredible support is never taken for granted and we are moving forward together.
