Fair enough. Just odd of him to seemingly throw a strop over it on Twitter and make their fan base panic.

Architects are stroppy types. I say it's perfectly"normal" but that doesn't mean it isn't sometimes frustrating or that a client doesn't change their mind. Like I say it's possible they wanted the job for the delivery phase, bid for it and lost it - that'd make it the business decision Meis alludes to but explain his frustrations. 

 

All looks a bit 'u ok hun?' to me.

Took me no time at all to find out that there were two architects on the design team, Meis and Pattern, who are UK based:

 

http://www.pattern-architects.com/project/bramley-moore-stadium-everton-fc/

 

Pattern are down as the 'Technical Architect' which suggests they've been involved in the detailed and technical design to date with Meis as concept architect/masterplanner and will now be producing construction drawings and information for the contractor. Nothing to see here.

I'm sure this is correct, but you can't help but laugh at the manner in which they made him out to be the second coming of Jesus, and how he was happy to accept the acclamation. I suppose when you have Jordan Pickford in goal, hero worship requires a bit of creativity.

Oh absolutely!

 

It also shows something about architecture and construction as an industry - celebrate the 'starchitect', the person with the big idea but forget that a lot of work is done by a big team of architects, technicians, engineers and contractors to get things built. Holding one man up on a pedestal for this sort of thing is generally a bad idea.

 

The only shock is that they didn't proclaim Meis as the next Buckminster Fuller or some other such ridiculous comparison as they're want to do.

I remember when they first started talking about a powershift who'd of thought a few years later we would be European champions, world champions and league champions and they would still own a barren water mass on the banks of the Mersey next to a sewage farm as their architect walks away and goes for laser removal treatment.

And there lies their fuckin problem, for Meis, read Walsh, Brands, Silva, Sandro. Fuck me, life's too short to name them all.

Do they even own that barren water mass?

They don't even own it.

The list of their Messiahs is second only to the list of refs who have wronged them.

A bit like the original anfield then.

To sum it up (in case Liverpool Lad is reading):-

More than four years after Joe Anderson said they'd be in a new stadium within three years, they don't have any land, any detailed plans, any planning consent, the "world class architect" or the funding.

 

But, don't worry.  It's definitely happening and the redshite heads are all going to fall off.

Ah refs, their favourite quiz question.

I can never understand the Collins one, 

They say, if he hadn't disallowed that goal we wouldn't have been chasing the game and wouldn't have conceded again 

Yea and if my Auntie had bollocks.

Fuckin weirdos
