They keep wanking over this stadium as being "iconic".  I genuinely can't think of any newly built stadium that you would call "iconic": you can use words like "nice" or "big" but any stadium only gains iconic status by a history of great things happening there.

 

Bramley Moore Dock will never be iconic.

 

Are you saying that repeated survival of relegation to League One are not great things?

It’ll be iconic when it’s 3 ft under water. 

Then, it'll be crystal clear how moronic it is. Was.

We’d have won even if Konate had been sent off.

I think we would have won if we had everyone except Allison sent off. They are seriously shite.

Did not realise was a paywall - displayed full article for me originally 

 

Just talks about how new potential owners don't look like providing enough to pass fit and proper tests and regualtory compliance stuff.

 

A key paragraph is this too:

 

"A failure to close the deal could have severe consequences for the financial viability of Everton, a founding member of the Premier League saddled with the ongoing costs of a half-built new stadium, more than $500 million in debt and a projected annual loss of about $100 million. Everton’s finances are so dire that the club requires monthly infusions of millions of dollars, most recently a multimillion-dollar loan from 777 Partners, to keep operating."

Monthly infusions of millions of dollars? Sounds like a Vampire on dialysis.

They would do well to remember the phrase "founding member of the Premier league" having fucked off on the football league when they give it out about the super league. But of course, ideals and integrity are a one way street with them

The Poseidon Adventure remake is on the cards.

Shame Wonga went bust. Maybe they could have helped out.

If they ever got bought ala abu dhabi fc and then won stuff the pivot from all the corinthian bullshit they trot out and the pivot away from their local club for local people shite to we are rich and look at us we have got fans from all over the world, we are massive, would be breathtakingly swift.

 

They've shown signs of doing just that even with very limited stuff like Usmanov investing a tenner in them and James Rodriguez attracting 25 twitter followers from further afield than Conwy.

I can't quite decide which is funnier, 777 buying them or 777 being stopped from buying them.
