Even if they survive all this, the debt they carry from building this stadium will end up sucking every penny extra they make from the new stadium. It's incredible really how fucked they are. Feels very Leeds United at the moment. 

 

I don't get how anyone thinks the new stadium makes teams rich. They've added what 15,000 seats to the stadium. It's not like they'll attract masses of corporate buyers or boxes. So even with say 22 home games at £60 a pop it's under 20ml a year. 30 years to just make its money back before you count interest payments,extra running costs etc.

If they go down the new stadium will be a massive  issue. Ca t see how they could complete it which will leave the council in a bind of what to do with it. FSG should buy it and rent it to them to generate revenue and keep increasing the rent so they can be the first club to be evicted twice.

No, the minute it opens lorries will arrive loaded with cash followed by a Barcelona style announcement of all the new players they've signed being paraded onto the pitch

 

Although that's perhaps what Arsenal fans thought when they left Highbury as well.....

I’m not aware any PL ground has empty corporate boxes  Most of people using them won’t be die hard blues just business contacts on free piss up

A perfect way to ensure you never have to deal with a company again; take them to the pit and have a toxic boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooze up.

Don’t need money for the new players… they’ll turn up for free just to play in front of the cruise ships.

But they're not allowed to use rude words on there, so that's alright.

BBC saying 777 have provided an advanced loan for working capital in relation to the stadium, which would scare me massively given the reservations about 777.

 

It really is all or nothing I think for Everton over the next few years, relegation will absolutely ruin that football club to the the brink. Staying up in a new stadium makes them somewhat viable. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

They still have premier league status while breaking FFP rules and other sides went down. Its not right if they go unpunished new owners or not.

[Harry Squatter]

I know it is a different league but loads have been punished really harshly in the Championship as well.

 

Reading

Wigan 

Birmingham 

Sheffield Wednesday 

 

I think fans of these teams will also feel aggrieved that they were pjnished and Everton just keep getting away with it year on year.

Derby County too. They were docked 21 points two years ago.

Don’t forget the mersey will be like the Panama ship canal, filled with cruise ships loaded to the brim with rich clients desperate to get into “our beautiful new stadium on the banks of the royal blue mersey”

They’re saying that they’ve nearly sold all the corporates out.

 

£7,500 per season and locked in for 3 years.

 

Cant see that at all. Our ours that expensive?

True. Forgot about them. 21 points deduction was instant relegation for them. 

 

I'm sure Evertonians with their Corinthian spirit and moral guardianship of the game will want all rules enforced fairly.

You are making this difficult to masturbate to

A £20m loan is no good for the stadium. They needed £250m to finish it. MSP provided a £100m loan, but that still leaves them £150m short and no prospective lenders on the horizon. The £20m sounds like its just to cover immediate expenses.

They had two main options after the Tesco fiasco.

 

- The 'Sensible' option - On the Lancs by Croxteth - Better access. and would have been in for a couple of years by now and gaining the benefits

 

- The ' We'll show the Redshite ' option - Once again fucking themselves right up by living their support vicariously through their hatred for us rather than what is best for themselves.

Yep. Even the Kirkby one would have been good for them and done a bit of regeneration for the town but they just didn't want to be outside the city of Liverpool even though you only had to walk a few yards to Fazakerley to be back inside the city limits. 

 

It would have only cost them £80m.

 

Now they are stuck with a £760m debt and it might not even get built. The city lost world heritage status for it and the council have also wasted money on it by helping them preserve old buildings on the Dock.
