I like BK. Always have. But he has lied to the fans on a few occasions. The stability line was fine but how long does he live off that one for?
We have stagnated. You can't see that?
Time for a change surely?

We have stagnated and if there was a billionaire out there I would have them at Everton in a heart beat. But there isn't ,so going back to the real world, what is the alternative?

Actually having the club for sale and not lying about that as well would maybe be a good start ;)

There should be no problem funding a new stadium off the back of the new TV deal.

At the very least you'd think we'd be able to put down a significant sum of money upfront, with a long term loan deal secured against possible future TV rights.

Risky of course, but as certain a bet as you're going to get in the sporting World is that the TV money won't crash out of the Premier League.

There will be a lag each time TV money goes up before transfers/wages etc catch up. We have to use that time well when it happens.
 
At this point, even the most ardent admirer of Bill Kenwright's ability to stage musicals should be able to admit that him and his mates on the board aren't the men to spearhead a new stadium project.

They simply cannot be trusted with a task of this magnitude.

I would prefer to wait it out at Goodison until Kenwright dies.

The only negative is that under FFP we would be allowed to spend a Sugar Daddy's money on a stadium and keep the TV money for the squad. I think Everton should be a very attractive club to potential suitors however I'm not sure I would want a chairman that hired and fired managers.

However we need a new stadium and we have a load of kids coming though so I think it's inevitable (or at least it should be) that most of the money spent on players will be for either young talent or cheap experienced players with the rest going on a stadium.

Ok I'll bite do we have the need for a larger capacity and how are some people expecting to fill 55.000+?

If we had a 55K stadium that was in a good location we'd fill it 3 or 4 times a season, more during seasons like last season. The income from the stadium would increase, particularly from corporate, which would make us more commercially competitive. The more commercially competitive we are the more we should improve on the pitch meaning that the 55K would be full 6 or 7 times a season, then 11 or 12 times, then we'd be in the CL and it would be full 15 or 16 times until it was constantly full because we'd gone some way to fulfilling our potential.

If we stay in an undeveloped Goodison the most we can do is tread water and standing still in this league at the moment with all the money coming in is as good as going backwards at 100mph.

On the basis that we are not for sale.
I don't think we need a stadium much bigger than it already is, We've only averaged 50,000 once in our history.
That was the absurd thing about Kirkby,we needed to average 47,000 for £6m profit,
Even with drop in ticket prices I don't think we'd sell out every week.
Imagine if there was a break away European super league and the likes of Chelsea,Utd,City,Arsenal, all left, Which is more than possible at some stage.
We'd be left with an empty new stadium with the inability to fill,never mind pay for it ,As the Sky money would undoubtedly follow them and the Prem could end up like the SPL.
I would much rather redevelop Goodison in stages, as has been proven to be done.

Unfortunately this board is happy to maintain the status quo and it's fantasy to suggest that we will catch the above clubs on the back of the sky money alone.
We need a board with money and vision and we haven't got either.
