Not really, they drilled the East Float Quay empty areas a couple of years ago and the equipment was barely noticeable. 

 

The Herculaneum dock was filled in the 80s and has subsequently been built on. Along with many  other Liverpool docks over the years before that. It's not a new science. I was reading that the sewerage works extension was built on a dock and supports considerably more weight than any new stadium would. 

 

They're probably looking for a way to reduce costs because they cannot get the finance, using the dock thing as an excuse allows them to move somewhere else and the £100-£200m cost for dock filling (and the considerable time it would take) will not be a factor. Are the council are still offering some financing? 

 

Their whole daydream that tourists will swoon at the very sight of their new stadium on the dock is utter bullshit. Tourists eyes will be firmly fixed on the iconic Liver Building, most won't even know or give a shit about football, never mind some little club that hangs on to our coat tails. 

It worked for Sunderland...

So all Everton need to hope for is that an elite coach has the same mindset as some fella from Bristol who gave up an undefined job in which he was statistically one of the best in the country and exceedingly well paid, to drive a delivery van.

Seems doable.

“In my quieter moments I realise that the stress of trophy and league challenges, endless zeros of my bank account, three houses, four cars, and five dressing rooms filled with the world’s greatest collection of cardigans and round-necked sweaters, is just unfulfilling and unrewarding. In those moments I yearn for the peace and simple life of a manager of mid-table mediocrity. Or a van, some parcels, and Portishead.”
