Farhad Moshiri opens up on New Stadium investment

Former Everton owner Farhad Moshiri has been talking to Sky Sports about Goodison Park and the investment he made in construction of the new Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.

“We were all in love with Goodison. I was in love with Goodison. Nobody wanted to move. But the reason we had to leave was partly infrastructural, partly financial.

“I had to put in £400M. The rest had to come from other investors.

“The fact we have The Friedkin Group, really good custodians in a new stadium – I think this is our best chance to bridge the gap. Our fans have suffered far too long.

“My biggest sadness is not to have attended more games. I wish I’d been able to but I was constrained by my work. I have no regret.”
