Paul Gregg Special | 'My biggest Everton mistake & message to Moshiri’

Former Everton co-owner Paul Gregg has spoken to the ECHO's Chris Beesley for a special edition of the Royal Blue podcast to coincide with the release of his autobiography Backstage Without A Pass. The theatre impresario - who sold his entertainment company for the equivalent of £350million in today's money - arrived at Goodison Park in 1999 when he matched Bill Kenwright's £7.5million stake in buying the club from Peter Johnson. Gregg tried to bring about Everton's first attempt to relocate to the Mersey waterfront with ambitious plans for a stadium at King's Dock but ended up having a well-documented fall-out with Kenwright over the failure of the project. During his time with the Blues, he helped strike sponsorship deals with Keijan and Chang while also having disagreements with the chairman over managers Walter Smith and David Moyes. Despite the tumultuous nature of his time at Everton, Gregg still looks back on his time on Merseyside with fondness but also has strong opinions on both the current ownership issues and the new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
