As explained above, the trade with a largely slave economy Brazil until the 1880s (which Bramley Moore championed) draw's the dock into that discussion...as the club acknowledge.

I gave you one before.
Thanks for this, I didn’t know the history.Does the second part of that quote relate to the name or the apparent onsite memorial talked about in the article? It's not clear. If it's even true at all.
And the first part is almost certainly true just because it'll be named after whoever sponsors it.
I'm guessing after construction the name BMD is likely to disappear, in the same way Ashburton Grove or The Northumberland Development Project did.
Everton's new Bramley-Moore stadium is a stark reminder of Liverpool's historic entanglement with slavery in Brazil | LSE Latin America and Caribbean
Despite opposition from heritage groups, Everton Football Club's planned move to a new £500-million stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock has this week been given the green light by planning officials. The grade-II listed site is rightly regarded as an important example of Liverpool's rich maritime...blogs.lse.ac.uk
In this instance, I can’t decide whether it is better to let the name die and consign him to the depths of history, or retain it and allow the history to live on.
Certainly, such a man should not be memorialised in any positive light. Perhaps a change of name is for the best?
There then remains the question of honouring his victims and how that should be done. Whatever is done, it needs careful thought.

That site I linked to: how is it bogus? That was never explained to me.
And I doubt if it's quoting a 'club source' extensively it made it up. It's still publishing and I doubt the club would have missed their link.
Over to you...

Nowhere in the British colonies was slavery continued after 1833. That didn't stop British businessmen trading with other nation's slave economies though.
Surely the fact that the source is blacklisted should tell you everything, Dave.
I still have no idea who it was.
You said, Everton are distancing themselves from the name Bramley-Moore.
I then post a tweet, from 3 days ago, with Everton using the name Bramley-Moore.
I would say over to you, but theres no point, cos this is over.

It's not a made up link, it's a local news website and it's there online right now covering...erm...local stories if you care to look for it. Liverpool World.
I'm not being confrontational, I'm genuinley not aware of it being blacklisted. I;d like to know why.

That's no use to me. Youlre just restating that it's blacklisted. By whom and why?
The website is blacklisted on here, I would presume due to them being a terrible source.
