New Everton Stadium

[AndyC]

Andy, I get the feeling you think this is a good day.

It isn't. It's a disaster.

There are no options.

Thanks.

I haven't voiced an opinion either way Dave.

Yes, I agree that the events of the last week and today are far from preferable for our club but, I've long held the opinion that the ownership of Moshiri - with or without involvement of Usmanov - is less than desirable and has been nothing short of a disaster for the most part.

What was the alternative carry on with Bk and his mate the Doctor with no money to spend ?

Kindly express the alternatives so that we can all rejoice in your brain waves ?

Why don't you get to to Goodison and support the lads instead of slagging them off at every

Why do ye engage with the wum .
It won't matter to him what happens with a new stadium. He won't go regardless. Another thread derailed by an egotistical nob

You're right mate. But I end up biting once every 6 months or so....sorry ?

By unprecedented you mean "convenient". i.e. exactly the same amount needed to get the club out of a FFP hole. lol

Hopefully the planned naming rights deal itself wasn't massively overinflated and it can be plugged with other sources and/or a different naming rights partner.

I look at it this way. Surely an ever-present PL club with consistent 40k+ crowds in a market where broadcasts rights are still shooting up can manage this project without someone like Usmanov? You're big enough and ugly enough to pull this thing off. Get this beautiful thing built without any grubby associations. And I reckon that'd be better in the long run.

I'm staying optimistic for ya'll anyway.



I disagree that it's either things go back to normal or doom and gloom.

We're in a new normal. imo Russia will remain sanctioned for a good while, so these sponsorships are gone now. Forget about them. Get on with finding some new sponsors.

I'm not so sure sanctions are going to be in for as long as the were against the USSR and South Africa. The world is a different place now, the Russians have sampled what freedoms western lifestyles can offer, when the Iron Curtain stopped such things, they knew no better. Now, all transactions are electronic, to remove this from Russia is huge and will impeded their economy, the boycott go their fuel is huge, the distribution of real news is a much freer exercise, Russian's will gradually get to hear what was done in their name, Putin will go, he will be forced out by the middling ranks

No need to get snotty mate.

I don't know what other alternatives were genuinely available to BK before he agreed the deal with Moshiri.
And I have no bona-fide idea of who will appear to take the club off Moshiri as and when he decides to sell.

As I've said many times, I am and remain confident that a suitable buyer will emerge, the big question will be the asking price... when the value of the club might actually be diminishing.

I still think BMD will go ahead tbh.

I’ll get the bricks on ZIP pay can someone chip in for the seats?

 

[Drico]

I must start to rebuild my old Subbuteo stadium. Floodlights, "electronic scoreboard" and the iconic TV tower. Maybe I can get some blue chipboard for that "Goodison" effect...

The build will continue on as planned, until told otherwise. It would take an absolute extreme measure for it to fall through

 

[BlueStevie35]

Has anything actually happened today, or is this just Dave panicking?

Corrected

 

[davek]

You're all worst case scenarios though. It's like saying Everton are getting relegated and Liverpool are going to win the quadruple.

I still think the stadium will go ahead but regardless now we've go the right manager relegation is not going to happen. The PL money is only going up so Everton can always borrow against that if we don't get Usmanov and his cash back.

That's unreal.

Like a war or something?

If the royal hospital can get called off then a football stadium can, let's just hope and pray that the money has been "ring fenced" somewhere.
