Catfish Blues
Player Valuation: £15m
£100m project, funded by Everton, for the community it wants to continue serving.
It looks like a fantastic proposal but I struggle to see how Everton can afford 100m plus when we will have a huge loan to pay and at the same time attempt to become a top four team which will also require spending lots of money on players.... unless Usmanov has some other novel idea of how to invest money within the FFP rules.... will the development of this project be subject to FFP rules?
I doubt we'll be funding the project to the tune of 100 million.
We'll be managing the project, bringing in grant money for the community based stuff, and partnering with businesses or public bodies to organise anything which has a commercial value ( housing, retail etc ). That would follow, and build on the model currently used by EITC.
Waving a wet finger in the air, I'd guess of the 100 million, we'd likely be looking at directly funding a max of 10 to 15 million of that ourselves.
