The stadium pays for the stadium. Ask yourself what would you rather have, a stadium for at worst costs us a few million a year, but evidence we make a lot more money than at Goodison OR stay at Goodison and continue to see all our rivals to pull ahead of us in terms of income generation? How does that help us as a club, someone needed to pull the trigger...painful or not.
For instance would City have been bought without the COMS being in place first? It makes us a better prospect. Eventually inflation will put the debt at a smaller ratio to turnover and probably before that interest rates come down and we can refinance at a lower yearly cost. At that stage we can start turning that into a assembling a better playing squad without the reliance on a sugar daddy.
