New Everton Stadium

Voicing a concern or reservation based on a lack of basic information is not complaining at all..... nevermind ad nauseum.

I didn't ask YOU to do a full financial model.... i asked you to reproduce the official or other one that gave you the confidence to mention the "financial benefits" that make this all work. You can't..... that's literally the definition of blind faith.... no essay required!

It doesnt need a full financial plan to work out it will be beneficial.

Goodison has a capacity of 39,414. At a rough cost of £600 on average for a season ticket (less than mine, more than some), thats roughly £23m per year.

A rough, conservative guesstimate of £800 per year for a seat at our new stadium, only a 30% increase on now, for a total of 52,888, is roughly £42m per year. So literally doubling, based only on a league season, no improved sponsorships, naming rights, etc, and totally ignoring the massively inflated corporate seats which have been sold out for months i might add, and scope for all year round use.

Yes there is a cost to build it, but that cost also improves the clubs value enormously.

Thats all a bit basic, and im sure there are things ive not considered, but to say that this didnt need doing is just as much burying your head in the sand as it is suggesting it is rightly expensive. Its also not going to get cheaper the longer its left, so it needed doing as soon as possible.

And only the quarter of a century since it was 1st suggested.

There is also the fact there's not a lot we can do about it, we are moving regardless and I'd rather enjoy it than sit worrying if it's going to be a millstone around our necks!

I don't think it will be by the way to be honest and at worst it will come out as cost neutral.

Is he suggesting that it should be burned-down/demolished? (Did Valencia have to knock down their stadium when they ran out of cash?)

I don't think he is. He's merely suggesting that the stadium may now be part of the reason for (or certainly not helping) our current financial woes. Which in turn may seriously threaten our entire future if we are not able to seriously strengthen an already weak squad (as proven by the last 2 yrs performance). Ultimately leading to us finally being relegated. Apologies if I've misrepresented him.

The notion that the stadium exists in its own protected bubble because it has its own thread here is a dangerous one. It might've been almost the case before the inflated costs (if genuine) and with the Usmanov sponsorship safety net filling all the financial gaps, but certainly not now. We now appear to be in the middle of a fire-sale of players and potentially club stock too, with a dysfunctional temporary board to boot and the Profit and Sustainability Police breathing down our necks.
