Dunn made his debut for Everton at 17 before dialing 431 Premier League performances throughout his career. Courtesy of Gambling Zone, the Dubliner said: “I hope I can be optimistic about Everton’s future. I think the fans deserve it.

“They’ve been through all this recently and at certain points it didn’t look good for them. I hope the owners can come in and give them a bright future and give them the opportunity to compete on an equal footing.

“They’ve been trying to survive for so long, Everton, that year after year it becomes very, very difficult. I think moving to the stadium is a chance and an opportunity to move on to a brighter future and make everything better.

“These owners are able to support these ambitions and support the manager. There is no better place to ring in this hopeful new year than a new stadium.

“If they can bring the atmosphere and enthusiasm of a happy Goodison Park into the new stadium, they can be a club that really moves forward quite quickly because all they need is support, because they have the support, they have there is infrastructure. They have everything.

“They just need a little financial support to help them start getting back to where they want to be.”

Everton’s soon-to-be next owner Dan Friedkin already runs a European football club with Italian side Roma, where 73-year-old Claudio Ranieri came out of retirement last week to become their fourth coach this year. However, thanks to the economic clout of the Houston businessman, who is currently ranked 204th on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, a daily ranking of the world’s richest people, with an estimated net worth of $12.2 billion (approximately £9.64 billion), Dunn hopes the Blues will soon be on a much stronger financial footing.

The 45-year-old said: “I don’t think Everton fans want their club to be in trouble in the Premier League anymore. Let’s hope they can solve all these financial problems now and start next season calmly and with a sense of optimism.

“They know there won’t be any problems in the future. You don’t want to be constantly looking over your shoulder, it brings stability right away.

“The fans deserve this kind of ambition from their football club. In the short term I think they will aim for the top half of the table, in the long term they will want to fight for the top six.

“I think this is what the Everton fans want and I think they deserve it. Fans’ expectations will be low at first, but they want to know that their club will be competing in the near future.”
