“Mistakes have been made, and I want to apologize to all of you for that,” he added. “It wasn’t good enough and we need to do better. You gave us incredible support that helped us cross the line when we needed it most and we need to pay back for that support and show that the lessons have been learned.”
The 67-year-old reaffirmed his commitment to the club and its future away from Goodison Park at their new home in Bramley Moore Dock, but hinted that the days of wild spending on gaming stuff are over.
“Of course, the stadium itself will not help us achieve our goals, and we try not to make the same mistakes, including the fact that we did not always spend a significant amount of money,” he said.
