Farhad Moshiri says the end of his Everton ownership has left him with "mixed emotions" and that he wonders where the club might have been had Carlo Ancelotti remained at Goodison Park.
The British-Iranian businessman's tenure in charge of the Toffees came to an end on Thursday after he sold his stake in the club to the Friedkin Group in a deal believed to be worth in excess of £400m.
The takeover has prompted Everton fan groups to look forward with "hope and optimism" after a particularly chaotic period under Mosihiri.
