*Shakes head* Everton again.

Maybe, but then you're not a Liverpool resident paying council tax so that these fuckers are getting a free lunch with their training ground, and possibly stadium if that corrupt little fuck, Anderson, gets his way.

True, it's a shitty state of affairs, and one that we'd no doubt never hear the end of if it was the other way around. But Anderson won't be around forever, and they'll be left leasing a training ground they don't own and potentially a stadium they don't own either - raising the distinct possibility of them going the way of Coventry...

I actually hope they get their new stadium sorted. Preferably not at the council tax payers expense as that would be wrong in the current economic climate.

 

But, they need it. As fans. It's been pointed out that the bitters tend to be in a perpetual state of anger and rage. That can't be healthy. If only for their own physical and mental wellbeing, they need a big, shiny positive. By that, I mean an actual Everton positive, not a Liverpool negative which they can try and turn into a positive, which seems to be the only real enjoyment they've got out of the game in the past 21 years.

 

They've had a few false dawns too. Remember, they were title challengers and top 4 contenders until the middle of September. Despite winning the square root of fuck all since 1995, they even chucked their league cup tie against Norwich to concentrate on their title challenge. But, alas, they proper Everton'd it and now lie 11 points off the Champions League places and a massive 20 points off the top.

 

Then there was the Moshiri transfer window excitement. It was lovely to see. They were actually smiling and gleeful for Everton reasons again. Milik? Koulibally? Isco? Leno? Witsel? Van Dijk? But, again, they proper Everton'd it again and it instead ended up with some French bloke turning his mobile off to dodge Bill's calls.

 

The stadium doesn't worry me in the slightest. Bring it on. Bigger crowds in a more modern stadium doesn't necessarily equate with success. Just look at Spurs' Champions League campaign.

 

Get it built. It'll be quite refreshing to see them occupied by something positive for once and it might stop them being such angry, bilious mutants. Here's hoping.

he's not going to be able to pay for a ground for Everton out of the public coffers.  It won't happen unless funding is granted from elsewhere, like for example, for the Commonwealth Games.

A walk around Stanley Park these days can only be a massive wind up for the Bitters, 

Big shiny new Anfleld looks fantastic and down the hill is Woodison looking tiny by comparison , faded and well past its best.  I hope they do get a new ground and hopefully on a new site, Fed up of our view being spoiled

A media posse had pursued Ferguson's limousine as far as the M6 motorway after it left Barlinnie yesterday but lost contact with the vehicle near Penrith, Cumbria.

 

The Daimler had swept out of the prison at 6.35am, whisking Ferguson past 30 journalists and four diehard Everton supporters who had earlier driven north from Liverpool to see him being released.

 

The limousine, which had tinted windows and black curtains to thwart photographers, had been parked inside the prison overnight with the driver returning to Barlinnie early yesterday to pick up the player.

 

Scottish Prison Service spokesman John Gerrie defended Ferguson's release procedure as a ``perfectly normal arrangement'' for any high-profile or celebrity prisoner.

 

The four Everton supporters set out on the 200-mile trip north at 2am yesterday.

 

Ferguson made football history by becoming the first professional footballer to be jailed for an on-the-field assault on a fellow player. He was sent to Barlinnie on October 11 when three appeal judges ruled the three-month sentence he received for headbutting John McStay was not excessive.

he'd only been there 5 minutes and he became their greatest ever player (based on the "he battered Fowler / Collymore / etc in the Buzz last week" shite the lying cunts used to love coming out with)

but does the tax payer not fund such projects? I thought London paid a mint for the Olympics, with a small slice coming from central government. So LCC underwrites a Commonwealth bid and anything (translated to all) that cannot be funded externally, sits on the books of LCC?

In fact in reference to the above, this was a segment from the auditors report for the glasgow commonwealth games. 

 

 

  1. The Games were delivered successfully within budget. The Games cost a total of £543 million, £32 million less than the budget agreed in November 2013. This includes £34 million from the operational contingency fund which was part of the total budget.
  2. The Scottish Government and Glasgow City Council provided £424.5 million towards the total cost of the Games, £37.2 million less than anticipated. The remaining costs of the Games were met from £118 million of income from ticket sales, sponsorship and other private sources. The Organising Committee and Police Scotland demonstrated good financial control over their respective Games budgets.
  3. Costs to the rest of the public sector were minimised as a result of good planning for the Games to ensure business as usual. The Scottish Government agreed to provide the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and the Scottish Ambulance Service with £3 million additional funding to cover their operations during the Games.
