With the addition of Kinnear, the Everton board now consists of six members, including owner Dan Friedkin, Eric Williamson, Chong, Analaura Moreira-Dunkel, and Marcus Watts. As Kinnear settles into his new role, he has expressed his ambition for the club to achieve great things. In an interview with Everton TV, Kinnear shared his vision for the team.
"My goal, and the goal of everyone at Everton, is to make our fans proud," Kinnear said. "We want to find reasons to make them proud, and that starts with what we do on the pitch." Kinnear acknowledged the progress made by manager David since his arrival and sees the potential for the club to achieve more.
"I want to be aggressive in our ambitions," Kinnear stated. "We should aim to compete with the best teams in Europe, and I believe there's no reason why we can't challenge at the top table of European football in the long term." To achieve this, Kinnear emphasized the importance of creating a solid foundation, being pragmatic, and making sensible decisions.
With the club preparing to move into their new 52,888-seater stadium, the season ahead is looking promising. Kinnear's appointment and vision for the club are a significant step towards making that promise a reality.
