New Everton Stadium

[ramacca]

I don't think funding will be a problem. Moshiri;s mate, Usmanov, hasn't moved into the Liver Buildings to admire the view, he's here to make serious money for his company USM. Taking advantage of the Northern Powerhouse project.

"I was delighted to hear comments from Henri Murison, CEO of Northern Powerhouse Partnership, on the importance of our stadium development - not just for Liverpool City Region but for the economy of the Northern Powerhouse.

"The People’s Project is a once in a generation opportunity that would deliver a £1billion boost to the economy, create up to 15,000 jobs, attract 1.4million new visitors to the City Region and contribute £237million of societal value."


Usmanov will also make a packet from his 50 % holding in Megafon which is providing facial recognition (enhanced at the 2018 Russian World Cup) for Huwaei's 5G network which is being rolled out across the country and will give Megafon a nice little earner.

Am still bitter about this. We should be going here every other Saturday.

I often think about were the club would have went if this hadn’t have fell through. I doubt we’d have gone 25 years without a trophy.

Oh mate...would have revolutionised the club. Absolutely massive blow. Players would have been crawling over each other to play there.

The man responsible for us not being there is still our chairman.

We probably would have been bought by city's owners

Should’ve been out on his ear after this. It’s incredible he’s managed to maintain a position within the club for 17 more years.

Yes! And with Blue Bill at the helm, if it was built, it would have been the cheapest finish and probably already be outdated and looking run down.

A lot has changed in stadium design these last 20 years. While KD defintely beats BMD for the site, in all other ways KD scheme was probably inferior to what we could now be getting at BMD. In some ways i'm glad we're building a stadium now, rather than in the era of the Cellnet Riverside / Stadium of Light etc.
