New Everton Stadium

[The_La]

From what I've heard on the grapevine, the site may be viable from the council end, but Everton already know that they don't have the money they need for the project at WHP.

The aim is to show that there is a viable site which we could build on, to obtain the permissions, and then use this to drive up the value of the club and sell to the highest bidder.

That sounds suspiciously like a plan to me. So for that reason, and with this being Everton I can't see it. Its too logical.

So as we thought all along the club cant build a shop never mind a new stadium anywhere and they wont entertain the idea of redeveloping GP.

So where does that leave us?

Up shoite creek without a paddle, thats where.

That's what I've thought might be a likely scenario.

I also think Anderson is beginning to think he is being played a bit.

Possibly with new owners and a new stadium.

So in other words, just like Desperation Kirkby then?

You might want to add in extra revenue from food and drinks or even possibly restaurant/bar built on the complex. Goodison is woeful for this and we lose a lot because of it. How much would be hard to say.

Thanks, but it is marginal in terms of the overall revenues - if 10,000 spent £10 more on food/beverages per game, assuming a profit margin of 50% it only gives just over £1 million contribution to the bottom line. There's so many variables in the assumptions already I thought it not worth adding.

The marginal (at best) improvement in revenues make a stadium where Everton's contribution is funded by debt totally unviable. That's the point of the article.

Small change.

The current shareholders have to let go at a price which could generate interest leaving the buyer with sufficient capital to proceed and invest. Tp part help this allow the likes of BK to remain as a figurehead chairman and the others in a similar non executive place on the board. Perhaps leave them with a token share holding.

I do think in realistic terms that the club would have to move to a new stadium. The foot print at GP in real terms is not big enough.

I agree - but the crux is the ownership of the club and their willingness to invest or sell to enable a new stadium to become a reality.

Fair enough.
