He's no one. Do you think he's anything more than someone who holds doors open for the great and the not-so-good?
Laughing here.
Can't believe that some people actually expected us to announce today that we had paid for the land and then say "Here's a scale model of the planned stadium. Building starts next week"
If you intend building a house you first identify a suitable plot of land. (God knows this took long enough) You then secure an 'agreement to buy the land', provided planning permission is granted. This is exactly what we've done.
Once you are confident that you can afford the land, the planning costs, and the building costs (This appears to be where we are up to) you then draw up detailed plans (Dan Meis will have already been working on various plans for over 12 months. He can now concentrate fully on the specific design for the docks)
The plans are then submitted for approval (and our BIG advantage here, is that Meis will have been consulting and working with the council planners throughout. He will be well aware of any potential problems)
IF plans are accepted, you pay for the land and begin building.
I fully expect the Council announcement today to be about their plans for the wider regeneration of the dock area and that this WILL include a stadium. Therefore planning permission will already have been granted 'in principle'
It will not be a formality, but I would be amazed if Meis can't come up with a design that will be acceptable to both the club and the council's planning Dept.
Today is a wonderful day. After all the false dawns, I am convinced now that this WILL happen.

I would understand your comment if it was tomorrow mate but its at 2.30pm when the supposedly announcement is not scheduled till 5pm. Stop moaning about everything
Andy Hunter confirmed in the Guardian report that the Council would brief later today. 5pm seems to be the confirmed time.
Be patient.
But it's not spade in the ground day - we're a long way from that. It's site agreement secured day - but that in itself is a massive step.

Esk has wiped the floor with other itks here. He's the absolute and undisputed golden ox of itks
That's what I've been led to believe. Whether they'll state the specifics I've been told is another matter.
But the press have obviously been briefed to expect an announcement too - see below from Andy Hunter's article:
"The Merseyside club have reached a financial agreement with Peel Holdings, the landowner, for their preferred location for a new home after 125 years at Goodison Park. No details of the deal with Peel have been disclosed, or about how Liverpool City Council will help facilitate the construction of a state-of-the-art stadium on north Liverpool docks. An announcement is expected on Thursday".
This would actually be amazing. Not your specific idea but imagine an Everton crest beamed into the sky an hour before night games. Drawing all us Evertonians in like a moth to a lightbulb.
Please just get rid of him... For humanities sake..
I called it the other day, nothing will happen and people will fume at the club for no reason.
Rinse and repeat.
