New Everton Stadium

[Market trader]

It depends how you look at it. Ensuring the design of the stadium meets the Council's new criteria is doable, I would have thought, (though I am not an architect). Liverpool Waters will go ahead in some form, even if delayed. The key is the money. Get the money and the stadium should go ahead.

As far as I know, Spurs still have only £350m in loans in total from three banks, repayable in five years with the prospect of finding the rest of the £700m to £1000m necessary to build the stadium, and finding new sources of funding to refinance the three existing loans after five years. It's still being built.

Do every club go through all this crap or is it all reserved for just us? I swear down if it was a stadium for the rs it would be half built by now.

feeling glum today

like their one in stanley park bro?

Have asked my contact about this. Reckons councillors have not been privy to the CIPFA report yet. But not sure how much can really happen with the council at the present, with a CEO on police bail and then this last week:

In other news, my contact at EFC who recently said all had gone deathly silent on the stadium project is now saying things are moving again a bit. Can't be more specific than that I'm afraid.

Councillors and officers are totally separate entities, so corrupt Ged being on gardening leave will be not have any implications on councillors. It’s being withheld by Fat Joe.

With regards to Becky Hallard, she’s been on sick leave for months, and is now miraculously leaving the council in a couple of weeks. Now under the normal circumstances directors are bound to give around 4 months notice before departing, hers is 3 weeks

Fat Joe has also been bailed, people have forgotten this. The axe is going right through the council, anyone who was involved in the Henshaw/Halsall/McElhinney scam of Liverpool residents are scampering for cover

On Twitter, I came across a reference to the City Council adopting a skyline policy to restrict the height of new buildings and this will have major impact on Liverpool Waters.

The Council newspaper has most of the details and includes a reference to Bramley Dock:

Peel have said that they are reviewing the Liverpool Waters scheme and drawing up new masterplans taking account of the World Heritage Committee commentary. See below.

Lucas Oil stadium it is then.

I know someone who knows who someone and basically they say this is further along than most think, it's basically been agreed and just needs finalising.

Liverpool's second expansion will also commence at the end of next season.

When you say needs finalising you mean we still need.. plans, money, planning permission, fan consultation, money.

Steve Rotheram on Granada Reports then, the utter Kopite. They were doing a segment on Liverpool's music industry and we're talking about the possibility of a museum. He says "We are a UNESCO city". Who even says that?

We're moving there, Kopites, and I hope it destroys that worthless title you hold so dear.

We're a progressive city, not one that is prepared to cling to our past.

JA has told a budget setting meeting tonight that the deal is still being negotiated but it's a "No brainer" for the council.
The decision will be taken by the council ultimately.

£280m loan netting council £7m a year

Not because of The Beatles or *random Liverpool band* though.
