New Everton Stadium

It was a matter of time before the financial experts ruined the thread. Can't we just have nice pictures of stadiums again?

If Croke Park in Dublin, in the city centre surrounded by housing, with a railway line at one end, and a railway and canal at the other end can be developed from a crap ageing stadium in the early 90s to a modern 80,000 capacity ground with excellent corporate and conference facilities, by an amateur sports organisation, then surely Everton can do something with Goodison.

Croker received 119 million in Government funding and it's a national stadium for Gaelic Games not any teams ground! Though Dublin play almost all their home games there.

I see the comparison be made quiet often, but it's not the same to be honest - funding etc.

I have a season ticket for the ground BTW!
 

With so many stadia recently (last decade or so) having been built, one would think inspiration for Everton's (both from a practical/utilitarian and aesthetic aspect) should not be in short supply
 

One thing: The way hardest thing to financially survive will be the period before we start to play in that new stadium. We should get something like at least 15m extra revenue per year thankfully to the new stadium - at least 7m for extra sold tickets, 5m for a new stadium sponsorship deal and 3m for extra things like corporate tickets or other extra incomes. We can likely pay off a big part of that needed loan for the stadium with these extra revenues we will get from it - let's say we will pay off a loan of 160m for 8 years from 2015 to 2022 = 20m per year, which should be easily payable in help with extra money we are getting from Sky+BT. If we would start to build the stadium in 2015-16, it could be likely available to open in August 2018, so we need to cover cost till that day. So then, if we do basic maths we should cover the new stadium with something like:
loan = 160m
investment from LCC like LFC got for their Anfield redevelopment and money from other partners = 25m
selling Goodison = 15m
in total = 200m

Then... well, this is prediction of our income in 13/14 and 14/15 made by Elstone in April.

... On the other side, our total income went up for about 30m for 13/14, we used something like 10m of that for Kone/Joel/Martinez an then we literally changed Fellaini/Jelavic/Anichebe for Lukaku/McCarthy. This season our wages went up surely for a few millions, we bought Besic, signed a lot of new contrats etc for extra money, but on the other hand we got some small money for Forshaw/Rodwell and main importantly our income is expected to rise again by a few millions and I believe this prediction for 14/15 could be easily be even better in reality as we sold way more season tickets than expected, so we should have something like 30m likely available at this moment. So I believe it is realistic to say we could have even something like 40-50m in our bank as a reserve to help funding the new stadium or other projects like Finch Farm accommodation before we will complete the stadium and will get that extra revenue to pay off the debt. This reserve will be needed as well to fund things before we can sell Goodison, before we would get a grant from LCC, or other partners etc.

Plus, in 15/16 we should once again get these at least 'extra 20-25m', more if we will get once again European football. If we would put it all into a 'stadium reserve', we would likely have a pot of around 60-75m. For 16/17 and 17/18 seasons, before we would get that new stadium for 18/19, there will be really likely another big jump in a new TV deal - the last time it went up by more that 50%, even if it will rise up only by 25% which would be a big surprise, as it is expected there will be maybe even bigger jump than the last time, we would get at least 'extra 40m' for each of this two seasons. So in total, if we would not buy/sell any players during the years through the way to the new stadium, we would have around 150-160m in our reserve. But, as only around 80m would be needed in a 'stadium reserve', we should likely have similar money available for investing into the new players - their transfer fees and extra wages without even adding in selling of players. I believe 80m for 3 seasons for new players is still superb amount of money and Martinez could do wonders with that.

I truly believe we will have money for this project and I believe we will still have enough money to strengthen the team during the years it will be in construction. After that we will be in a perfect position, especially after we will pay off our loan. Let's hope this stadium scenario will come true, because it is absolutely possible to fund a unique world class stadium for us...

Will 200 mill build you a "World Class Stadium" in England?

IF everton were in dire financial staights as @Moomin claims.

1. No club licence would have been granted by UEFA.

2. FFP would mean NO Europa League European football for Everton.


Yes. Moomin.

See you Thursday !!!! lol

I never said Financial straights, i said we would be high risk to the banks and not able to get the best interest rates compared to the likes of Arsenal who are a cash rich club.

All you have to do is look at our balance sheet to see we are a risk to lenders
