New Everton Stadium

Anderson would not be the deciding factor one the acceptance of any deal, so why would his political future be the deciding factor in a refusal of it? It would be interesting to see the voting of the board as to acceptance of this method, as I would be surprised if it wasn't 100% in favour.

It is a deal that benefits the city. It is not in the interests of the council to now call this whole thing off, and in my opinion, it is madness to suggest it is.

If Steve Rotherham comes in and attempts to call it off due to his footballing club preferences, then frankly, I would be worried for the city, not Everton football club.

Just because this is not a common way in the UK to finance stadiums and kickstart large infrastructure projects, it does not mean it isn't used elsewhere. This is not the first time a council has acted as an SPV for a private company, and it will not be the last.

Steve Rotherham is not blocking anything, stop believing that utter wham spouted on here.

Steve Rotherham is not the issue. He isn't t the heart of a deal on any stadium, but Joe Anderson is.

If the local LP are in turmoil and there are resignations that makes things unstable.

Anderson isn't going anywhere, he's failed for Metro Mayor and failed for MP, he's seeing out the 3 year term. He's to much of a media whore not to be.

Even if something drastic happens and he did leave post, why would any other Mayor pull a guaranteed £4m income into the pot as well as the possible development of an area which is in the council forward plans

I skim read. See who the poster is and skim right past. Probably a good job there hasn't been any actual stadium news as it would be buried under page after page of the same people, having the same argument, about the same people, over and over again.

Hey ho....

A failed Mayor who's put together an investment deal: what investor could fail to be impressed by that?

He's short term, he's wounded beyond all recovery, he's dead in the water.

Roll up, roll up. Come and get on Uncle Joe's clever stadium plan.

Short term?? Lol

He's been leader of the council and the Mayor of Liverpool when the post was first created in 2012; he's been in a position of power for his 7th year with a further 3 to go.

10 years leading a major city is short term hahahahahaha

It's those three years that are most important...oh, and the small fact you seem to have ignored that he is a dead duck.

Imagine you're looking to invest money and Anderson is across the table from you. A washed up local councillor who cant even get his own party to believe in him.

He's a dead duck who is in office for a further 3 years haha, but that's short term.

And FYI the funding is now up to Everton, all the council are doing is acting as guarantors. Their part in the deal is done.

Another swing and a miss dave. Care to try another route??

I thought I had outlined to you in pm how these things work?

Change of Mayor, beleagured local politician, whatever, means absolutely jack now that SPV is signed off.

The big boys, seemingly, are in town now.

A local politician who's baby this is.

We'll see.

Hopefully I'm wrong and you're right. I doubt it though. We'll still be talking a good game about a stadium in a decade, imo.
