You play Chelsea on Tuesday and you've got Wolves early kick off today. Klopp has irked your fans of recent so does he play a full strength team today and on tuesday or play a weakened side and hope for the best. It's quite the conundrum don't you think? At least the wind has died down.

Serious question before everyone really gets ahead of themselves:
Even setting aside the land cost, which will be in the multi-millions regions, where are the Club finding the £300-£500m needed to build this thing?
How are we actually going to find that money. I just don't see Farhad Moshiri ploughing that sort of finance into it.
Does anyone have any genuine insight into the type of external grants or funding that might be available. I dare say EU money will be a non-starter soon.
We desperately want it to happen but how?

We'll leave that to the blokes who know what they are doing. I doubt you'll get a response from any accountants on here who know how multi million pound projects can be funded pal.

I'm conflicted on this.
Feel it should a great celebration of one of the finest stadia in history and its iconic team.
At the same time it commemorates the spawning of the most lamentable turd from the litter we left behind.

OK, I'll bite as an SVP Finance at a FTSE 100...
Stadium project funding in U.K. Typically includes six elements:
1. Local authority enabling funding for transport infrastructure, environmental works
2. Grant funding (including EU, Football Trust)...a diminishing source
3. Naming rights & associated sponsorship/service rights
4. Partner investment if development includes associated hotel/leisure, retail
5. Direct investment by club/club owners (possibly including new investors)
6. Commercial loans, typically from specialist property investment funds at banks & Finance houses
Only Everton could tell you exactly how our model will work but what I can say is 1-3 combined might contribute a maximum of say 15% to the total build cost. This is why any stadium build typically requires rich owners and/or development partners. It is fair to assume that the bulk of funding (50% or more) will come from loans.
Typically the first ten years in a new stadium is designed to be roughly break-even financially after factoring in increased attendance, more corporate, raised profile & improved commercial deals. Some do better. Some do worse. A stadium is a long-term investment not a short-term pot of gold.
...some bright folk on here from a business finance perspective. I haven't got a clue myself.

You'll get much more than that from naming rights. Arsenal got £100m a decade ago, which was about 33℅ of their build cost. Ok, they were a successful London team but sponsorships in general are bigger all round now in the prem. A good chunk of the build cost should be covered by naming rights.
The rest of your post I'd agree with. Bank loans offset against future ticket sales is going to be a big source of funding assuming the owner isn't going to be benevolent, but any club will want that to be as small as possible. Enabling residential or commercial developments near the stadium will surely also be looked at, especially if the location is a good one.
