Spare a thought for Everton

[Tyler Durden]

Not that I hope/want in a million years it to happen they need to make sure it's the greatest stadium in the country with massive amounts spent on the infrastructure around it an servicing it. That's if they try to force it on us, which I think might soon happen.

Friends of Liverpool.

 

You said 'Michael Calvin'

 

Our survey said

 

 

It's not there I'm afraid.

 

Unlucky.

[Liverpool lad]

I think Everton are an example of how fucked the game is in terms of governance and money, you have a team getting 37,000 in there weekly without a pot to piss in. All very sad really when you look at the bigger picture. Whilst it is all very funny for Liverpool fans to watch them struggle, it is only going to increase the bitterness shown by some of their lot.

Increase the bitterness? How could they possibly be more bitter, I really struggle to comprehend this.

 

Hopefully they continue to turn on each other and implode.

I'm getting tired of saying this but have you ever heard of a ground share where one of the clubs can not contribute a single penny to the build? Or even worse are not even in the same league?

If we go through this season not in the top 4 and not winning a domestic cup and Everton are still in the PL then the calls may get louder for a groundshare from the owners. If any of the possibilities mentioned above do not occur it will die on its arse as we'd be able to command more money for a stadium naming rights as a top four/cup winning/only PL club on Merseyside. We are not a fucking charity. If the tables were turned and it was LFC in the EFC role would it even be mentioned? No, I didn't think so.

Yes funny enough I have Munich 1860 springs to mind.Even playing in a lower tier of the league to Bayern to.

 

I would think the council even being as skint as they are,would pay a large part of the building of a joint stadium to for fear of either team leaving the area.

 

The naming rights to the stadium you mention has been ongoing for a fairly long time now.I would of thought if anybody was interested would of comeout by now dont you?Oh wait thats right the new shirt sponsors said a while back now that they would be more than interested in the naming of the stadium.

 

Another option with a joint stadium if they got relegated is for us to buy them out.Then charging them rent for playing home games there(think this is what Bayern do now).

 

I dont want this to happen as much as you dont,but dont you think the time is slowly running down on us building a new stadium?

[Captain]

I must admit I feel very relaxed about the stadium situation. I can't see FSG fronting a shared stadium.

 

Everton? I won't lose any sleep over them.

Same here, why would we ever share a stadium with that lot. What can they offer, fuck all thats what.

[Bernard Diomede]

I hadn't realised we had become a charity.

 

Fucking embarrasment of an article.

[Anny Road]

It would cheapen our brand in the long run to be associated with them in any way.

I'm not even including the quoted article because I don't want to inflict that shite on anyone again. One question after reading that - what's in it for us? All he's written there is how it's essential for Everton's survival as a premier league club, so when did that become our responsibility?

[goatboy59]

1985.

[kalasoma]

We get a new stadium in Stanley Park and they can have Anfield. But minus the seats, the gates, the shop, the museum, the pitch, you know, pretty much everything that would be recognisable as our stadium. Turn Goodison into a carpark. Everyone happy.

[Guest Gucci_Ledge]

they can go fuck themselves. Was just re-reading an old article the other day on how Everton tried to make Uefa not give us any of the champions league english money pot in 2005 for being allowed in as Champions. Had totally forgotten about that until then.

 

Makes no sense for us to help strengthen our local rivals for new fans and surely it'd be better to play any of the current Championship sides twice a year than everton. We usually drop 2 points at anfield against them. Hope they go under.

[corro]

Met some of me toff mates today. They are worried to fuck about their immediate future but 100% against protesting as that's what we do, and they will never match that and that's a worry for them. That said I would never give the bitter cunts a leg up whatsoever.

May I remind people that at various away games a few years ago at half time there would be an announcement for ' Michael Shields' to get in touch with his family as they had not seen him for a while.

These are the cunts we are talking about and that is just one example of their absolute hatred towards us. I wish them nothing but despair and disaster and if that makes me a bitter red cunt ' as I was called today ' then no bother at all. No ground share whatsoever. Ever.

Everton are struggling to cover the wage bill & Barclays are tightening their overdraft, so where would they find £150m or so for their half of the costs ?

 

If we can't finance the whole cost of a new build, I suppose FSG might consider a landlord arrangement to help secure the funding, but I think the Blues would rather go out of business than accept that.

[Furmedge]

Fuck 'em

[redmachine23]

No

[Wor Horse]

Remember that Agent Hicks and Gillette Mission Accomplished banner at the derby.

 

Yeah, fuck them.

Last time out, were they not proposing that we fund the stadium build and they'd pay us back in installments, or some such?

[chorlton]

shared stadium won't happen. It can't. Everton vs United : united fans on the new kop, and there has to be one, tearing it to shreds. How's that going to work?

 

Plus as illustrated by the moron on the Game podcast the whole heysel issue is still be used as a massive underpinning of there fall from grace. Given he claimed to be big buddies with moyes and kenwright you can bet they feel the same way.

 

That said there's plenty of decent blues out there and for them i want their club to be okay. Folks claiming they were laughing at our potential demise? so what, we'e been there and should not wish it on other clubs. I actually feel a bit for Kenwright, he's trying to sell the club, he's terrified of what happened to us with G&H and who can blame him. And as someone said earlier a club with those gates should be fine, but thanks to spiralling wages they are stuffed. The bubbles got to burst as some point and if will be disasterous when it does.

A reference to the "Agent Johnson' banner from years back, no?

Absolutely.

I once liked the idea of a groundshare, it couldve been a really exciting project and saved everyone some money, but as clubs we are now poles apart.

It'd be like United sharing their ground with Oldham.

 

I just hope the owners haven't got an eye on the Goodison site as a cheap redevelopment option...

[TheHitman]

Can't wait for the new stadium, when we can spend as much as Arsenal do.

 

Indeed, fifth year running since the new stadium and another 20 million profit banked.

The Allianze is now totally owned by Bayern. 1860 went back to their old stadium because they couldnt afford to contribute to the Allianze any more.
