*Shakes head* Everton again.

[Sandman40]

Think he told them he was off to Chelsea but then ended up at the Mancs from what was said.

 

So he didn't listen to the voodoo.

[Anubis]

So, is Cath up for pretending to be Keita's mum, phoning Leipzig, and telling everyone he must be released to Liverpool early or bad fortune will follow Red Bull around for decades.

Anderson is clearly after a job at Everton when his Mayorship runs out. Writing letters to the police and now this. I actually think he’s just rewording the guarantor thing knowing it will wind up a load of people (mainly reds) and endear himself more to these gobshites. There’s no way he’s in a position to be throwing around 200m+. It would require Westminster government input etc. Separately I’d honestly be surprised if they actually got away with this guarantor thing as well. If it gets that far I can’t see a Tory govt letting it happen.

But he signed for Manchester United. Am I missing something.

He got confused, it was Barkley's Ma.

FM on Jim White: “He is a friend of mine. He calls me late at night and he gets something out of me. They are conversations between two friends and they shouldn’t appear on Sky or Twitter. It won’t be happening again.”

“What you wearing Moshi baby?”

Mayor Anderson is clear on this: “We provide security, using our status as an organisation, enabling them to go to the market to secure a loan.

 

“It won’t cost taxpayers any funding or any money at all. Indeed the reverse is true – Liverpool city council, out of the deal for that security, will receive a substantial amount of money, in excess of £4.4m a year if we do reach an agreement.”

 

And he added: “We’ve made no offer to fund the stadium and we have not been in talks with Everton to do so.”

 

A quote from Joe Anderson in an Echo report from March 2017.

 

Also, wasn't the SPV signed off by the Council on the basis of a £300m costing and on the understanding that no public money would be used, with the loan which the SPV would apply to being one that Everton would secure via the market?

 

Surely now that the loan is coming from the council, that totally changes the nature of what was signed off on and needs a fresh approval? As will the rising costs issues?

 

It stinks. But, given that Everton have gone to the Council for a loan and are yet to secure the additional 1/3 of funding from another lender, I'd be a bit concerned by the true financial clout of Moshi La if I was a blue.

 

I think the plan has been for the council to fund this all along, via the loan/SPV mechanism, with the Commonwealth Games bid being the justification, but they can no longer use that as a fall back.

 

If so, Anderson has pretty much lied to everyone, red, blue and non-football fan.

How would they make the payments on a £450m stadium when their owner is a massive bullshitter who never puts his money in and they are unlikely to regularly qualify for the Champions League?

It won't get built anyway...

The finances could never work.

The Council has power to borrow money cheap then lend it cheap to a developer doing a regeneration scheme. Shouldn't cost the Council anything unless the Developer defaults in which case the loan risk sits with the Council. It's legal but what stinks is the vested interests. Would the Council be doing this for some other developer?

[an tha]

That has to be fake...Not the bad photoshop that gives it away either....

 

A red hat!!

[Anubis]

Since the SPV was mooted the stadium costs have increased by two-thirds of the original stated cost, in a little over... ...what, 18 months? I'm sorry, but this needs stepping on and a full report to taxpayers before it moves forward.

The council should not be taking on a massive risk like this. We have companies that lend money and they're called banks. This absolutely stinks.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Also, what about Brexit/end of EU funding/central government money to replace it etc.

 

Will the regions bargaining power be damaged when asking for a piece of the pie when the London bods can turn round and say "you're helping pay for a stadium, you surely don't need more money if you can fund that?"

If you're a ratepayer you could try writing to the district auditor.

Agreed. The power is supposed to be for regeneration schemes which wouldn't otherwise go ahead because the finances don't quite stack up.

[Special K]

And Everton fans are buzzing because of pissed off Liverpool fans.

 

They just don't get it do they?

[Fugitive]

That stadium has as much chance of being built as those fucking trams that were defo 100% being built in Liverpool.

Hahahaha £500m, that's twice what their club is worth.
