New Everton Stadium

Don’t expect to see the diggers and cranes descend on the Bramley-Moore Dock straight away. Although plans can now progress for the club to begin work this summer, there are a few procedural formalities to conclude before then.

First, Everton will formally complete their purchase of the land at Bramley-Moore from its owners, the property and infrastructure giant Peel Holdings for a pre-agreed fee in the region of £22 million. The club and Peel signed a heads of terms agreement in March 2017, which was always set to be sealed upon planning approval. Next, they will formalise the status of Laing O’Rourke as their contractor, and draw up a detailed build schedule with an itinerary of dates, from the opening remedial work at the dock to completion.

What about the funding?

Everton have a shortlist of preferred partners from around the world to fund the stadium. They range from banks to investment funds. “It’s a very attractive proposition to investors,” says Frank McKenna, the founder of private-sector lobbying group Downtown in Business. “It’s on an iconic site with potential for more than just football — you could imagine the stadium hosting big artists like Beyonce, and it’s a development that investors will get a return on.

“Everton won’t be scrambling about for investors. I suspect they will be able to be selective and pick the best of a bunch.”

It could be a matter of weeks or a few months before the club announce their partner although it is believed one group is already in pole position.

What about the naming rights?

Everton announced last January that they had struck a deal with USM, the company owned by Farhad Moshiri’s business partner Alisher Usmanov, over naming rights.

It saw USM pay £30 million for the exclusive option of becoming the ground’s main sponsor; and included the initial terms of an agreement on a multi-year deal should they decide to trigger the option. In the coming weeks, Moshiri will be in touch with his friend Usmanov to discuss the next step.

Does he mention anything about the lifetime ban on stadiums?

I wonder who that could be.

Forgot plague of locusts

He mentioned the RS.....

 

[COYBL25]

He’s losing his touch....

He’s acting as his advisor via DM’s.

That's been the debate today, but you are now claiming that those investing won't even care if it's a success or not, which is ridiculous. Far more ridiculous than suggesting a world-wide pandemic that is currently causing an outright ban on stadia attendance may have some effect on stadia investment.

Even without international vaccine rollout there is no 'worldwide ban on stadium attendance'.

There have been plenty of sporting events etc that have gone ahead, albeit with reduced attendance, throughout the pandemic.

I mean we literally had fans in Goodison a few months ago.

 

[peteblue]

Do you think the fans of other clubs are as mad as some of ours lol

I thought they were the fans of other clubs.....

I’ve got to say, that this thread has really brightened up what normally would have been a pretty mundane Monday afternoon.

 

[The binman chronicles]

And round and round we go.

Your whole strawman is built around a stadium ban that wont even be a thing in September this year.

So lets revisit it then, see whos right/wrong.

Find out before then I would guess, when we pay peel for the land will give a fair indication they are going to build something whether or not some people think it's sensible or not. Hopefully the main works will start in a few months time anyhow to put this all to bed.

Don't get too cheery mate, there could be an asteroid on the way to ruin it all.

Seems to be a common denominator.

I like the way he called us all kopites for not believing his utterly mental suggestion.

Whoah there my son!! Do they have planning permission for said asteroid?
A bloody big crater where Liverpool used to be, UNESCO won't stand for that.

God bless.

 

[peteblue]

So now we’ve gone from “we can’t afford the stadium” to “we won’t be able to go in the stadium”.

When does it end ?

Only when we are all sat in the stadium....3 years and counting....

Oh for the days of Empire.

We could just stick a flag in the ground and say 'It's ours'.
