And whose decision would that be. The owners? "right boys, we've sold the stadium and we're gonna rent it from the new owners". Nah we'll just stay at Goodison. Says who?

No-one says that the public transport at GP is "the bee's knees".... however, it did have one of the better dispersal rates in the country a few years ago according to the football research unit. It is served by far more buses than BMD, with many more access routes and available traffic lanes. Kirkdale is just as close to GP as Sandhills is to BMD and sees 2/3rds of the trains that serve Sandhills. Bankhall the rest. Unfortunately the northern line serves less than 25% of the city's population, which might explain why only a few percent of our home support currently use it on matchdays.
The key thing for BMD is its proximity to the city centre. At over a mile to all city centre bus terminals, it is probably at the edge of max desirable walking distance. If the few access roads are blocked for everything except shuttle buses then that could improve accessibility via public transport..... because as you have seen, there are not that many spare buses in the system for matchday soccerbuses, so the few that there are need fast turnarounds. The adjacent developments at Liverpool waters/Ten Streets will hopefully prompt the Vauxhall station to at least increase platform space and improve marshalling etc. A dedicated people-mover akin to the proposed Lime-line trackless tram could make a massive difference too.
Maybe a new owner that steps in and gives Moshiri what he wants for Everton FC, not including the stadium.

I didn't say that.... I was saying that they cancelled AGMs because they knew that the shareholders would have a lot of difficult questions about the club's predicament and they didn't want them aired.

It is one possibility. If they threaten the club with rent rises then as long as we have Goodison standing we have a choice. We could even groundshare with them lot and that gives us some bargaining power.
That says it does depend on the contract to how well we are roped into said agreement but I'd hope there would be protective clauses in there from our end too.

That doesn't make sense. We're talking about the incumbent owner making the decisions ie 777. Not some imaginary figure with imaginary ideas.
They would hold all the aces and have us over a barrel of a gun.
They would have all the protective clauses in to protect themselves.
If 777 become the new owners then you are correct, it wouldn't make sense.
Blimey, not only are you a mind reader you now know what every single Evertonians opinion is about public transport provision at GP. I said "some people" and there are some who think it's brilliant. I know people who live on a direct bus route who think that way
I would imagine that 25% of the local population having access to the Northern Line to get to the match would make a huge difference, would it?

A contract is a mutual thing, you have clauses in there from both sides. If they have one saying if we break the tenancy agreement and move out we'll have to pay ballpark figure of say 100 million then we'll have one to say the rent is fixed at or can only increase in line with inflation capped at x% to stop them doing something that would push us out in the first place.
There would obviously be more in terms of us being first priority so they couldn't just hold an event smack bang when we are using it and so on. So I wouldn't call it being over a barrel.
If 777 are stupid to sign anything that is put in front of them then we have bigger issues than just the stadium.
Again I'll stress it doesn't make sense to sell the stadium to a third party unless it was directly to fund the team but that would be a massive risk itself. If they have visions of bring able to sell the club for 2/3/4 billion down the line then the stadium has to be owned by the club or leased like City/Wham do it where you pay a peppercorn rate and you get most of the benefits.
