I'm guessing they have, but you know what Joe Public can be like and questions will be asked and potentially cause a delay while it gets looked at. Tax payers money at risk potentially, we've got no idea at the moment so best wait for the full details.

Got to feel sorry for them, they were promised a spade in the ground within 100 days, a state of the art stadium in Stanley Park, a football quarter, they were laughing at us when the council asked them about a ground share. Then they shot their load too early, had to be bailed out of certain administration, and their new overlords having picked them up on the cheap have told them to shut up and be happy with a meccano extension to their stand. Even better, if you can find a seat in there that isn't corporate it has a restricted view lol. It must rankle that we're now realising everything they were too stupid and greedy to have. We were prudent and tightened our belts spending only what we had. They spent a load of money that wasn't theirs. Karma.

We await detail on who pays what to whom. It's great that things are taking shape and there appears to be harmony and now partnership with the local state we've been bumping heads with for so long. But when the dust settles on this apparent funding package a number of major issues are going to emerge, and we better be ready for them:
1/ The inevitable furore over a city council that has made £400M worth of cuts exposing itself to almost as much again for the sake of a privately owned football club.
2/ (relatedly) The spotlight will fall on Moshiri as a very wealthy man fire-walling himself from any financial fall out if it all went wrong and leaving public institutions with the onerous task of paying back banks.
3/ (again relatedly) The impact on the club given the massive amount of borrowing if it should fail and its inability to pay back the debt without losing its home - or control over it (see Coventry a few years back when they ended up as tenants and eventually turfed out).
4/ The very real probability, given the points above, of opposition and an inquiry (and, regardless of Anderson's clout, the possibility of objections at council level).
5/ The figure of £350M looks like rock bottom and over the course of the project, should it go forward, WILL rise again and again - thus multiplying the dangers of other points made so far.
Today and the announced plan = easy bit.
Tomorrow - the firestorm of awkward questions and publicity.

I would have to defer to Steve on that one, he'll know more than I on what they do etc. It was just a rumour floated on Saturday, heard similar in the past too from the same people.

That whole shower of shhh is a parody of an actual newspaper
...the funding stream is yet to be confirmed but I'm sure a full risk assessment will have been undertaken and many of the points you legitimately raise will surely be addressed from the outset.

don't know about that...but safe to say it will be a significantly lower rate then if we just went straight to the bank!

According to me sauces/sources, the stadium will be a replica of Goodison, scaled up to 60,000, the removal of obstructed seating, and addition of a tier of corporate boxes that encircles th
It's as if the building of a state of the art Premier League football stadium should be plain sailing. Who are these jokers at our club that are exposing us to commercial overheads?!
