Colin Chong insists Everton’s new stadium remains on schedule and that the club are confident it will be completed “in the final months” of next year.
The chief stadium officer, who has also been made interim chief executive following the boardroom exodus that saw Denise Barrett-Baxendale, Grant Ingles and Graeme Sharp all depart earlier this month, made the declarations in his latest stadium update blog.
Chong said: “Those of you who know me, know how much this club means to me and my family. That is why I was proud to accept the role of interim chief executive officer of Everton Football Club – and I fully understand the responsibilities that come with this role and everything that is expected of me in the time I am in position.
