A stadium will have to go through vigorous planning consultation, then permission, the club might well have an agreement to buy the dock/docks, but any purchase will be subject to obtaining outline planning permission. Therefore any announcement will be after that outline permission is obtained.
Imagine the fume, if like the old regime would have done, they announced an all singing and dancing world class stadium 'On the banks of the Royal Blue Mersey' then it all fell through when planning permission was refused.
Once outline planning permission is obtained we will get our announcement, then it'll be about stadium design, placating heritage objectors, mainly RS I'd guess, etc etc
A magnificently designed stadium with a roof in the shape of our badge, illuminated at night so everyone flying into Manchester and the country sees us, what a statement!
I dread a flat pack 'The Bill Kenright Stadium' at Stonebridge Cross....But I'd still go!
Come on Everton make this happen!!
