New Everton Stadium

Of course the real difference is that back then we had a director and shareholder who donated the cash to build the stadium
No the difference is we have to deal with a company like peel,. Find 300m, deal with world heritage people and a myriad of problems that just wasn't there when we built Goodison,. And quite frankly to compare the two is just ridiculous.

Thank you James Clement Baxter, you were a shining example to future owners of the club....it's just a pity they didn't foillow your example and instead are tring to saddle us with 40 years worth of financial insecurity to build a new home.

Back then you could also build the stadium with child labour.

No it's not. Now the go ahead is given it's all about finances and what owners are prepared to personally risk. The £2,000 put forward in 1892 from someone like Baxter - who was a doctor and who's family owned theatres in Liverpool - would have been a massive amount of his wealth that he was prepared to risk in order to get the move done while handing the club a clean bill of financial health without fear of debt, because he demanded no repayment. Moshiri is risking nothing. Not one penny.

Baxter would have an emotional tie Moshiri doesn't.

Who cares if it makes him money if it gets us a City takeover down the line whilst giving us a shiny modern ground in a prime area of future investment?
