*Shakes head* Everton again.

Looks good far play, until of course the first few drown in the dock and health and safety close it down.

 

 

[Simbo]

Good on ‘em.

 

Sadly for them, though, they’ll still be Everton.

It’s all very weird that the planning permission is granted as soon as all these shenanigans are revealed.  If I were to hazard a guess then I reckon the Ev were still hoping stuff would die down around Anderson and they could get their public funding.  The delays were probably half on them wanting it to be put back.  Now the tories are taking over the council have basically gone yeah here’s your planning permission go for it.  From a local point of view it’s a win win.  If the local football team want to spend 500m quid building a stadium why would you ever stand in their way.  It’s just free investment which will boost the local economy.

 

I’ll admit I’ve laughed at them because I didn’t think it would get built.  The basis of me thinking that is because it wasn’t financially viable and it still isn’t.  The money they will spend building the stadium will be far more than the value that is added to the company for a potential buyer so Moshiri won’t make his money back that way.  It isn’t going to generate enough money on top of what they already make from goodison to pay for itself never mind actually make them bigger profits to spend on players.  Add this to the fact that the ticket prices are going to go up and the weather down there is horrific at winter time and this could all go sour very quickly.

Love how they use "the banks of the royal blue mersey" when lyrics in it include the line "and we will hang the Kopites one by one...." ....... 

[Harry Squatter]

The Royal brown mersey. 

 

It does look a good stadium to be fair and develops a derelict area of the city.

You put a lipstick on a pig. At the end of the day it's still a pig.

Good for them, good for the city. 

I don't think it's either.  They need to do something about the state of Goodison, but the vastly expensive unicorn bowl - which will saddle them with unmanageable debt for decades, securing many more years of on-field mediocrity - is not the answer.

 

Similarly, that area (like King's Dock before it) needs regeneration, but it does not need a white elephant to sit empty 330 days a year and block all the roads the rest of the time.

Will be really interesting to see the funding proposal which they said would be revealed once PP was granted. 

Just like Donald Trump said he would unveil his "beautiful" healthcare plan once he was elected.

That they are building a ground with a smaller capacity then our current capacity and we’re expanding ours further?

That is why they will forever be in our shadow, irrespective of anything they do on or off the pitch, it is always about us. They really need to move on from us and start enjoying their own team as opposed to obsessing about us. *

I spot a flaw in your logic!

 

Although I actually agree.

I know, I did think that when posting but everything is relative. This has been a good season for them, best manager in a long time and now positive stadium news. They should be enjoying it. 

[Scooby Dudek]

Oh dear;

 

Historic England, which had objected to the new stadium on the grounds it could harm the city's heritage, said it understood "the strength of feeling for the stadium among many Liverpudlians and respect the process which has led to this decision".

My head fell off when they won the league after about three games. 

[dockers_strike]

Still dont think it will get built. Planning permission was granted for that stadium on the park, didnt go any further, costs finished that off as well.

[Trumo]

Now they just have to find upwards of £500m.

I’ve heard the government are paying half towards it as part of the levelling up of the North West in the post-Covid world.

Seen this place on BBC news this morning, they will need a bigger cabinet if uncle Uzzie's funds help them overtake this guy.

 

Cuckooland coincidently is also the place where they live.

The firsts just keep on rolling in.

 

Everton, the first club to exist in the 'cloud' long before any of this internet thingy.

I think this news today, we'll find out quickly just how involved usmanov is. I think moshiri has already committed more than you would expect of someone with his wealth.

According the blues, the naming rights will pay for the stadium.
