New Everton Stadium

The stadium is key to Moshiri getting his money back, so I'd like to think he is jumping through hoops to get this sorted. I think I'm still in the "No news is good news" camp for now, if peel or the council start making the wrong noises then I'll start to get concerned. The fact we haven't appointed this " stadium director" or whatever it is is baffling though. I'm hoping, that just once, Everton can deliver something. If this goes south, we will never compete at the top level again, and that should be motivation enough for the powers that be.
Agree with you on most parts , but i dont think if we dont get a new stadium , then it will mean we will never compete with the big teams again . The TV deal continues to eclipse the match day revenue . in 10 years , overseas tv deal , sponsorships will contribute to 90 % of the clubs revenue and having a bigger stadium will only be a matter of pride .. so ofcourse its nice to have a big stadium to let more and more fans in , look nice on tv with a shiny new stadium , and get some 30 mil more in revenues , which wont matter once all clubs get 200 mil-ish in broadcast revenues .. all i am trying to say is , yes it will be heartbreaking if this stadium plan also fails , but with the changing face of football and the globalization of premier league , it wont result in us never competing at the top level again .

The key to this will be getting good young players and selling at a massive profit like, dare it say it, Liverpool. Until the stadium comes along that is.

Moshiri is just hoping the council builds the stadium and then he'll f off. He is not interested in Everton. He's just a businessman, and like most men of his stature, he's a crook. The sooner the better he's gone.

By your reckoning, then, we'd just end up with another crook. What's the solution?
 
For those naysayers who think the stadium won't happen, what happens next? Moshiri is only here for that reason (I think most of us agree he wants to do a Fergus McCann at Celtic). Does he sell? Who to? Who would ultimately be to blame? Kenwright for picking a wrong 'un? Surely we really would be up [Poor language removed] Creek?
 
This thread is the forum equivalent of all the twitter bellends having a go at the mayor over a £1 admin fee for the semi-final big screen (the law requires these things to be ticketed, there is a cost) and whining because they can't bring their own beer.

Moshiri could announce tomorrow that finding is in place, without the council, then get planning, then build it, to a 60k capacity with a huge home end and all we'd get from quite a few people on here is non-stop moans that:

> the entrances are too narrow
> the tiles in the bogs are the wrong shade of blue
> the seats are too hard
> the beer to weak/expensive/warm
> the pies too hot
> the halftime queues too long
> the walk back to the train station/town too long
> the wifi too slow
> the tannoy too loud
> the screen too big
> tickets too expensive
> the top tier too high
> their seat neighbour too fat/too grumpy/too loud
etc. etc.

On the flip side we could bottle it again and some would make excuses for Moshiri and blame the mayor/Momentum/redshite...

There is no news. When there is we can judge. Until there is all we have is people on both sides of the divide passing off their opinion as insight.

Having no news is the issue. No news = nothing is being resolved = the timeframe is getting away from us = the cost will go up and up = the stadium is extremely unlikely to be built.

Did you not just list everything that's wrong with Goodison right now?
 

Without wishing to mix metaphors Eggy, that analysis is over egging the cake.

If, and its a massive if imo, this current ownership dont drag this over the line, the reason he pitched up is still there. Well, here.

Its frustrating, its annoying, its actually quite frightening at times, but look up from the screen, look up from EFC even, and look at the actual real investment, (time and money) that is invested in this project. Then ask yourself why. Is it to buy that full back from Celtic? Is it to waste ££££ on joke managers?

No.

Its a big picture. I may well be wrong. But it sustains my belief.
He's already sold all 3 of them.
 
Obviously nobody on here knows anything.
But the reason I still have hope all will work out re the stadium being built on BMD, is I can’t see any reason other than that for Moshiri buying into the Blues.

If this was a sham, or there was little effort or desire in the background to make this happen, then what is to be gained by that happening for him?

All that money invested to become part of Everon to then just hope the club remain on the peripherals of the bigger 6 as we tick along content not to go after the potential larger money commercial deals for all parts of the business of the club whilst staying unambiguous and outdated in a tarted up Goodison?

Don’t get the negativity, and the agenda of some demonising, the club, Moshiri, Meis, Joe A, etc all of who have made outward statements of intent and investments of their time that demonstrate this is not a con, or half measured attempt to make it happen.

They bought the land.
They surveyed the fans.
They went on PR offensive.
They sought partnerships with council.
Local infrastructure changes are taking place.
They are prepared to fix their mistakes, with manager and player recruitments.

Have people forgotten how much our hands were tied financially and how this impacted our ability to compete, being the paupers of the league.
A laughing stock.

How much has changed.
But let’s all pretend nothing has.
The thing that hasn’t is the forgetting of where this club should be, what needs to happen to get there, and how excited as a fan base we should be.
Our potential is massive.

Just patience and belief is needed.
Not much to ask.

Well said.

Another good post. But you only have to look at DaveK's response to see how the pessimists put their own spin on things even when people from both sides of the argument don't actually know what is happening currently. He claims:

"Having no news is the issue. No news = nothing is being resolved "

@davek - what about:

No news = there are still things to sort out that are slowing things down, however the prospect of Everton still building a Stadium at BMD is still fully expected to happen?

The whole thing may collapse, but until we get some evidence of it, that is just a prediction and it's frustrating constantly seeing people on this thread writing the whole thing off when nothing new has come out.

Complications happen with pretty much every stadium project. It happened for Wembley, the new Spurs Stadium, and for the proposed Chelsea one. 2 of those got built in the end despite many obstacles and setbacks.
 
Always find it staggering when people have a go for doubting this.

Doubting a club who have failed at 3 moves already?

The sensible and logical outlook would that this regime will fail to take Everton forward again.
