New Everton Stadium

[Ferguson1878]

Clearly it was commenced with the finance coming from usmanov

first stage of it maybe but what about the other phases ?

Woke up early feeling a bit sickly, came in here for a bit of light distraction, now feeling sickly and miserable. Why can't we have a day off from the gloom.

NEVER !!!

My understanding was a majority of it, I assumed it wasn’t the whole thing but replacing that shortfall to me seems the issue.

no i don’t think so i remeber they had people trying to find investment and the best they could come up with was that loan from the liverpool council , which they probably should have taken in hindsight

I could be wrong it's what I thought I had pieced together at the time.

MSP will eventually own the Stadium is my guess.

The MSP Stadium.

What about other sponsors? Knowing this lot they'll probably sign Carlsberg

Not sponsor it, they will own it as we can't afford to finish the build.

well it’s doom or fume . . .
It’s all part of the life of an Evertonian
Embrace it

Hopefully, mid table safety and a flash stadium makes us appealing to potential buyers with actual money. If it can happen to City and those Northen halfwits it can happen to us.

Just have to get through the current tough period with going belly up.

Eventually we will get a major sale to someone to kick us on, Kenwright can't be here forever.

Fingers crossed mate.

I seem to remember that for a few years after Arsenal built their new stadium they were strapped for cash for transfers. Think it will be same for us.

And they went from 8 consecutive years in the top two, down to CL every year to 10 years occupying 3rd/4th.

I suspect that, as we had been regularly hovering between 6th and 12th, "a little hit" in the transfer budget was something we could cope with - take 5 years of 10th - 14th place finished in exchange for a shiny new stadium. That's looking far riskier now.

Or The Greggs stadium

All of it.

That's why Moshiri was so bullish saying he'd fund the whole thing himself if needed. (which he could have)

The hugely inflated naming rights (it would have been massive) was a way to make it look like a viable business plan.

It's quite an oversight to not consider a needy little baldy nonce might throw his toys out the pram and scupper himself and all his rich mates in the process.

Moshiri (Usmanov) didnt really care about the Everton money pit, I genuinely believe it was just an avenue to stick two fingers up to Arsenal for blocking their ambitions there.

It's failed in quite a spectacular fashion.
