New Everton Stadium

The conclusion I gathered is...

- EFC and LCC will form a SPVcompany together. This SPVcompany will receive the funding, pay for the stadium, own the stadium, maybe maintain + operate ect.

- EFC will own SPVcompany, the council are just on-board to give added confidence to potential investors.

- Due the confidence the council bring, the SPVcompany will pay lower interest rates on the loan. EG. We save 8 mil a year interest and we pay the council 4 mil of that saving as a fee for them guaranteeing the loan, so we would still be 4 mil better off (Completely made up figures).

- EFC will lease the stadium off the SPV company for probably the annual loan payment + 4mil to council + maintenance minus any naming rights.

- EFC will still own the stadium as they own the SPVcompany stadium which owns the stadium.

- EFC could end up paying £0 per year if naming rights covers loan payment + council payments + maintenance operation.

- Ticket money plus all other stadium revenue in EFC's back pocket.

- EFC Win the lot.

Is this about right?
 
So we pay 30m to peel for the lease of the land for 200 years?

So what happens in that 200 years if peel becomes no more, the go bust or sell the lease to another company? Can they say errmm don't really like your stadium being their you need to move or we will up the ground rent?

No I don't think so. The SPV will be solely owned by LCC I believe.

  • The Funder will grant a 40 year lease to a wholly-owned subsidiary company of LCC, a “Special Purpose Vehicle” (SPV).
The SPV will legally be our direct land-lord but in affect just be the middle man between EFC and our "funder", whoever that may be (bank, hedge fund, plump Russian overlord)

The SPV is not owned or formed by the club, it is a council entity.

The SPV has no ownership of the stadium or land, the SPV is getting a 40 year sub-lease from 'The Funder' who will have a 200 year lease.
 
What do we all think will happen to the area surrounding it?

Would love to see new pubs/bars/restaurants open but in fairness, seeing as it's not really a residential area like Walton and there will only be games every 2 weeks, there might not be. I have seen a few bit sent around about the North Docks being regenerated into a new "cultural hub" and the like, would be great if our ground was indeed part of a wider redevelopment of the area. Every time I drive down the Dock Rd, with all the abandoned pubs, you can't help but think of how busy it must have been back in the day!
 
My word, a football stadium helping to regenerate an area rather than actively destroying it eh?

I imagine we'll be criticised for that by a certain quarter.

The legacy we are going to leave is an extension of our fantastic EITC programme. So much better than forcing people out of their homes and running the whole area into dereliction. What kind of club would do that?
 

Alright, what about naming the thing? I'd like to propose the name "Royal supreme King of Thailand Vajiralongkorn and his brilliant elephant not-oddly-tasting beer colosseum of joy"

Seriously though, how is a stadium name not going to make us cringe? Anyone gather we might get away with not getting a naming deal?

Definitely going to have a sponsorship deal for it, will go some way to increase funding for players and wages.
