New Everton Stadium

[mrobo77]

Is LCC and Peel really stumping up 90% of the money ???

where's the source for that considering the fact that LCC have had the austerity measures on it for the last few years ?

Don't know think the 90% was someone taking the pis5

Moshiri is trying to find people to give him the money to build the ground then

There's your hold up on an announcement

That contradiction is at odds with what Mayor Joe Anderson has consistently said.

WUM....

Had an interesting chat with someone today regarding the ground I don't know how true it is or where he got it from so it might be all bull so don't get on my case. Here goes
There are 3 parties stumping up money Everton, Liverpool city council and third being Peel holdings in return Peel will part own the stadium I don't know if this is the ground or the facilities around the ground that's all I know but that was the hold up as they wanted Peel to put some money up.
Now the bad news this won't be built till 2025 and Liverpool city council will be hoping to win the Commonwealth games 2026 on the back of the stadium being built etc
This could be why the architect from America has been asked to be involved I don't know if it's a coincidence or someone's clutching at straws but apparently there is going to be an announcement in the next 2 months. I know we were told 2 years is not in realistic blah blah so me personally I don't believe it but thought I would post it see if anyone else had heard anything along the lines I was told above.

Why would the billionaire majority shareholder give away what effectively amounts to an equity stake in the club ?

It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

An extremely drunk one.

This is OFF

I find it fascinating that some people can't wait to rubbish any suggestion that the club is moving forward. Yet these same posters are usually the most vociferous and critical when match days don't turn out perfect.

Realistically we can't advance on the pitch, until we advance off it - I'd have thought those most desperate to see us winning every game and have a team full of world class players would be the keenest to see the off-field improvements.

Weird.

You are too polite. As usual.

They absolutely do my nut.

Forgive them..it's what they do.

I feel patience is key at the moment. Let's not rush what could turn out to be a grand plan.

What constituency does the Mayor of Liverpool represent in the House of Commons ?

I feel like there are a few things to blame, assuming we give these people the benefit of the doubt.

1. 20+ years of failure
2. Liverpool supporters being insane
3. Some weird fetish with being 'realistic', which in reality is 'negative'

The 'this is our year' crowd among Liverpool supporters, mixed with our recent history of failure and incompetence and the natural desire to seem clever by predicting the future has led to a large chunk of Evertonians becoming increasingly negative in their outlook for the future of the club.

Basically, there are a number of Evertonians that define themselves as being 'not-Liverpool' supporters. And Liverpool supporters are associated with positive delusions (it's our year, etc.), so when defining yourself within those parameters you can easily fall into the trap of becoming overly negative to prevent yourself from being as delusional as 'them'.

It's an understandable reaction when you combine that with the fact that we've had 3 failed ground moves in the past 15 years and a number of other clear incompetencies. While you apparently have some inside track into Moshiri's agenda, many of us don't. His public facing actions have been pretty mediocre compared to the expectations when he originally arrived. This summer was, regardless of reasons, disappointing and familiar.

It is a normal byproduct of humanity (and especially youth) to always want to be correct and never wrong (see: vaulting). This is likely enhanced when you have to deal with Kopites going around in a world completely unto themselves all the time. I am as prone to it anyone. Some people deal with it by being negative. Others, like myself, simply reserve judgement entirely until evidence becomes overwhelming one way or the other. From my vantage point there is an awful lot of smoke regarding this being a hugely positive move for us and being likely to actually occur. That said, with Everton, it is wise to wait until it's on the OS...for a day or two.

I doubt anyone that actually supports Everton desires failure, they simply do not accept success as a reasonable reality and buttress themselves against further disappointment by assuming the worst which, in the context of the Premier League era, is historically the most likely outcome.

Just a thought on the 2025 date. Could that not be the completion date of the whole build i.e. Hotels , shops etc. If they are part of the plan. The stadium could be completed far earlier. Not saying it's true like ,just a thought .
