New Everton Stadium

You're such a pessimist! Listen, Bill AND Elstone have both hinted that it's happening. How could you disbelieve them?

I have given them 2000 pages. The epitome of optimism. How dare you??

I won't believe it till Bill tells us the money is ringfenced.

so artificial turf in the new place right

Seems to me that the club will be extending the gross debt by at least £150m in return for an extra £10m a year. Meanwhile nothing is done about the appalling commercial revenues that will actually make the difference between clubs in the future and require no debt to get

It will make the club worth more when put up for a sale finally. We may get someone with some $$$.
The Board and CEO have shown they have little capabilities in increasing commercial revenues significantly. Don't hold out on that one.
We just have to pray that the ground they leave us with is worthy of our Club's history, status and supporter base.

Calm down Bill. I like you and admire your passion for our Club.

By the way, without mentioning Peter Johnson in your reply, how about you tell me, say, maybe just 3 things you have done for Everton since you took over that have taken us forward.

Cheers.

Yours truly,
This Real World Evertonian

Ha Ha good one. But lets be realistic and say Bill has more supporters than Blue Union or KEIOC put together.
Three things he has done;
1/ Stabilised the club, since he has took over from Johnson we are a top sevenish club and not relegation candidates every year.
2/ We don't sell our player of the year anymore and has just spent 28 million on a player, which and I don't know for certain this is true but I would imagine takes us into the top six clubs for the size of a transfer fee.
3/ Taken us from Bellfield to state of the art Finch Farm, we may not own it but the players are getting the benefit of it and that to me who wants Everton success on the field is all that matters.

Kithnou I know you will disagree but its what I believe. COYB's

I dare say with those 3 points you made you will get many in here responding. I hope you actually take note what people tell you..

Yeah you spotted my mistake, school boy error!

Just because there are about fifty lids on this forum that will slag Kenwright off till the cows come home does not mean that tiny minority is right.

I think we are hijacking the thread lads. Lets do the right things and keep it on the new stadium.

stop creeping round looking for a mods job

I would ban myself within a week...no thanks...am happy in here as a mere poster

Got a phone call earlier today, the York Community Stadium is on the go. I'm jealous that a crappy conference team can build a stadium that exceeds there expectations.

Yet, people want to praise the current incumbents of Everton.

They need to read the meaning of our motto.

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.

FFP and Premier League rules mean that apart from 4 million PER year squad wage increases

All other wage increases have to be from NON TV revenue.

This means tv money is separate now. We have to get money from other sources as we won't be able to compete otherwise

The stadium going to 55,000 plus is now CRITICAL


Conversely. We can SPEND ANY AMOUNT OF TV MONEY WE LIKE ON STADIA (infrastructure). No limits.

So we can theoretically spend 30 or 40 million TV money on transfers but only increase wages by 4mill?
How did we manage that last season? Must have cleared a lot of wage space.

Hate to say it but the reality is if we want a new stadium, we may have to make a big sale...eg 30-40 million of Barkley and spend the whole 40-50 mill TV money as a deposit on the stadium?
