New Everton Stadium

[sageyefc]

We would but only by a few league positions. The likes of West Brom and Sunderland aren't going to overtake us in that time. We would drop no further than mid-table. Once the stadium was built we could then start growing in a sustainable way. It would also afford us the ability to bring through the kids.

Even with a new stadium, it wouldnt make much difference to our spending for many years, the repayments would be alot

 

[sageyefc]

The two things you mentioned would cancel themselves out. If we don't keep them then we would be making a decent profit which could be used to pay the increase in wages of the ones we did keep as well as buy their younger replacements.

We wouldnt get that much for them, new contracts for those that would stay will eat up a large portion of budget too

I have already demonstrated on this and the Board thread how little additional income would arise from a stadium built on debt.

We need capital not debt or incremental income to move forward.

Having the capital to not have to take out operating loans every season would be a start.

Our team is capable of staying mid-table even if we don't have a net positive spend in transfers for the next 5 years. Look at the age of our squad.

Mid table hey.

Loads of expectations there then.

Some comments here are a bit over the top and way too dramatical. Like Goodison would be the death of us.

Those plans shown for the redevelopment of the Bullens rd show the structure covering the entire road, this would block the light to many residential properties and a school.

The option in the video didnt.

Pretty sure I've read that Liverpool city council have said moving the school is not a big issue if Goodison was to be redesigned.

Correct.

The price would rocket due to the residents knowing the club would need to buy them all. Among other costs I read it cost Liverpool 35m to buy the houses around the new Anfield development and took years.

Not sure where the 35m comes from mate but I can absolutely promise you the residents around that area didn't see much of it. The shyte turned that into such a piss poor area that the houses were purchased for well under what should have been their market value. They absolutely shafted that community and there was an article written about it a few years ago. @davek do you still have that link about when the RS were purchasing the houses?

There is a Guardian article that states costs other than building costs are £39 million.

There's also the option of integrating a small school into the redesigned stand.

That's the one mate cheers. @Adversus have a read of this to see how purchasing houses isn't easy and how the Kopites used a lot of underhand tactics to purchase the properties to get to where they are today.

Is it possible to move the school and purchase houses? Of course it is. But it can be a long process and not something where you can throw 60-70k at someone and say "well we think this is what your house is worth and we would like to buy it". A lot of folk are probably happy where they are.

The school I think would be a damn sight easier to move than trying to purchase 40-60 houses ( if indeed that's what we would need to do ).

I've seen that and I could see that part of the design working a treat.
