Can we pay our respects to the real insider on this project:

spooky in its accuracy and detail, almost lifelike

If I ever bump into Joe Hanson, I'm buying him a pint or two. Brilliantly put and really shot down the position of those from English Heritage, especially with the background of the wall that they were quick to defend as a historical part of Liverpool, despite the history behind it to begin with. Well done that man.

English Heritage are a bunch of self obsessed historians who have no interest in the future. They would rather see and old building fall down than see it being redeveloped and part of a more modern enterprise.

The clock tower is not part of the BMD development - it stands some way south of the site.

We will just buy it anyway mate...

Cos we can like..

I have an interesting piece of trivia around that very thing.

You can’t surely drop a line in like that then leave us hanging???

Fantastic news. It’s a thing of beauty.

My only question (and I don’t have a clue about this)

Could potential climate change issues and any subsequent rise in sea levels be a risk in future years?

Not a fan of the interior, would have been easy with today's engineering techniques to incorporate some of original stadium features.

Not today mate, enjoy the moment

Well I knew of 2 people that thought swimming in the Mersey was a good idea, neither had a good outcome.

Was one of them Teresa Nolan (Matty’s wife) off Brookside.

Pretty sure that when the camera goes off, they all mount each other in some kind of animalistic bumming ritual.

Meis calling him a mentalist is still my favorite part about this move

Even though we have waited years for this day, coming so soon after winning at the Pit it all feels like a rocket has been strapped to Everton.

Great news now let's finally announce funding.

 

[Chris O'Connor]

Seen this in the Red Echo from Kirkbride about the funding (says not yet agreed a lender).

Red, Echo, Kirkbride - Once you see those three words together switch off or ignore anything said, it might be right or it may not but I wouldn't be wasting my time on it until trusted sources report similar.

Great news now let's finally announce funding.

Expecting another email from Denise any minute saying "yeah.... you ain't getting them refunds lids."

Talking to the Nephew today
He is a GAA supporter with a passing interest in football
When the GAA redeveloped Croke park into an 80,000 capacity stadium ,they sold corporate boxes on a 10 year lease for big money #
I know our company bought one as did Eircom (national phone co.) and a good few others
I am sure Moshiri and Usmanov know a few companies (@USM ) that would pay handsomely for prime corporate boxes
Say 30 boxes at 20m for 20 yrs(a bit dear I know but that's creative accounting for you )
That's 500m for the stadium paid off and a few quid left over for a RB ,RW and maybe a CM
Optimistic I know but so was 30m for the right to bid on the naming rights
