Manager wants ‘long marriage’ at club’s new ground
Everton closing in on deal for winger Tyler Dibling
David Moyes has described Everton’s move to Hill Dickinson Stadium as the start of a “new romance” but believes the strength of the marriage rests on the success of the team.
Everton’s new £800m stadium stages its first competitive game on Sunday when Brighton visit in the Premier League. Moyes feels it was “written in the stars” that he should be in charge for the historic moment, but insists it is also imperative that the club construct a team worthy of the impressive arena.
“[It is] a new romance. We’ve got a new stadium that we can fall in love with,” he said. “A long marriage has a lot to do with how the team is and what team we put on the pitch over the years to come. Can we make that marriage last with the supporters and everybody at the club? I think that’s the next bit.
