Farhad Moshiri was at Everton’s 0-0 draw with Aston Villa at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and fans have had a lot to say.
The former Everton owner is enjoying his visits to the Toffees’ new home, and rightly so, as he pushed the plans for the creation of the 51,565-seater stadium.
He didn’t do many things right, but the move from Goodison Park was very much needed for the club to move forward.
Tim Sherwood was impressed with Hill Dickinson’s atmosphere, as the supporters seem to finally be creating a Goodison-like feeling.
It’s exciting times, but after seeing Moshiri return to the stadium, many Evertonians have all agreed on something.
Everton fans praise former owner Farhad Moshiri for the Hill Dickinson Stadium
The Friedkin Group’s predecessor looks like he’ll be making many more visits to the ground, as he’s clearly enjoying his time there.
Everton.News’ columnist Alan Myers spoke with the former owner at the Villa game, as Moshiri said it’s ‘wonderful’ that Everton are thriving.
Fans have now reacted to the article on Everton.News’ Facebook, and they have all sent their praise.
One supporter began his plaudits saying that the Toffees “wouldn’t have the best ground in the Premier League without him (Moshiri).”
Another agreed, saying that although he made “mistakes,” he deserves “full credit, when he deserves it” and his backing behind the stadium was certainly a masterstroke.
One fan continued the thanks to Moshiri, saying that “His dreams are starting (to) come true,” with another claiming: “He promised and delivered. It is outstanding.”
Another Evertonian sent a message to the 70-year-old, giving his “Thanks for making this phenomenon possible,” as another fan added: “Without him, this would not be.”
It seems like, although there is a rocky relationship between the owner and the fanbase, he at least has this achievement to be proud of.

Farhad Moshiri could have sanctioned Everton stadium on less expensive site
The British-Iranian businessman made plenty of errors, but his work with the stadium was flawless.
However, with Moshiri, there is always something to pick out, as the stadium could have been ‘less expensive’ if a different site had been picked.
It could have been an opportunity to save a bit of money, but as fans know, not everything is smooth sailing with Moshiri; but he did have his ambitions, and the stadium was one he achieved.
Although his tenure with the Blues wasn’t pretty, when credit is due, you have to give him some praise.
