Everton FC misinformation.

Anyone on here part of that crew?

It was to do with the securitisation deal back in 2002 with Bear Stearns (picked up by Barclays). The club found out that not only the season tickets were held as security but also there was a clause that the footprint of the stadium couldn't be reconfigured without the say so of those holding the long term debt.

The Annex! Sodexo were building it right! They were doing our catering and hospitality at the time!

Whatever happened with the proposed office development at the Park End? It was supposed to be built during the summer through to October 2011. When it didn't get started there were a few different stories going around as to why there was no progress on the project. The word from the club was that the logistics of moving offices and club shop etc during the season wouldn't be practical and that it was just being delayed so that could be done at the end of the season. Other stories that were going around were that the club didn't own the land it was to be built on, the club had heavily mortgaged the land and the banks wouldn't allow it to go ahead, and the club hadn't the cash to build it. The project seemed to get forgotten about.

I'm sure there's been more occasions that the club said something was going ahead, weather a player signing or a major financial investment or other building projects, that just never happened and were never going to.View attachment 136533

WTF! Ten years ago, have you been hiding in an underground bunker mate? We’re looking at a new ground, why is the non-building of office space a decade ago relevant?

The club have a history of lying about various things.

Bill Kenwright does.

We were moving to the Wirral? Nightmare.

Hilbre Island.. matches subject to tidal flows.. imagine being stuck on the island after a 4-0 defeat.. and no beer.

These things were sold to us at the time as innovative ways to push the club forward.

When anyone suggests the Kenwright period was anything other than a disaster they should be reminded of them.

Ha let’s have a retro Barney over Bill!

Weird thing when the annexe was announced, there were loads media fanfare, out of curiosity I did a search of it and almost every article and picture has been removed on the internet - looks like someone did a purposeful nuking of it! Weird!

The E*h* would have been the prime purveyors of the scam. It doesn't surprise me to find out they'd obliterated any evidence. A lot of the Kenwright stuff is completely unknown to some supporters; like the way he embroiled the club with Green to scupper the Greggs and their backers buying the club and taking his train set away.

Moshiri bought the Liver Building for offices instead?
