Everton legend Duncan Ferguson was disappointed seeing the supporter protests last season.
Ferguson was in charge of Forest Green Rovers at the time as board members were warned to stay away from Goodison Park for security concerns.
“It is not nice, and obviously the board couldn’t go to the games in the last few months of the season, and that is not nice,” he told the Liverpool Echo.
“But the fans are the blood of the club, and they support the club the way they want to support the club.
“It is not nice to see; however, the fans have got an absolute right to do what they want to do. I think Everton fans have been absolutely magnificent.
“I only went to a couple of games last year, but the last season I was there, they were unbelievable and pulled the player over the line, and I’m sure they did this year as well.
“It is not nice to see the lads protesting and marching up and down, but it is absolutely their right as it is their club.”
