New Everton Stadium

Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, has said that he hopes Liverpool City Council and Everton Football Club will be able to make an announcement on a new stadium for the club within the next few months.

Speaking to our Everton Podcast, lifelong Evertonian Anderson said that the club and the council had been working hard together in order to develop a scheme that would suit both council and club.

“We’re looking at a number of offers from the club, and we’ve made offers to them as to how we can help progress things,” said Mayor Anderson.

“There are a number of sites that we’ve been considering and we’re doing all we can.

“I’m sure that reasonably shortly there’ll be a discussion and a debate taking place between ourselves and people of the city about something that we’ve been working on.

“I’m optimistic that we’ll be able to put forward a suitable solution within the next couple of months.

“The council will work with the club to look at how we can support them, not necessarily in a financial investment in the club, but perhaps in the same way that we’ve done with Liverpool.

“We’ve invested quite a substantial amount of money around the area [of Anfield] and I’m sure Liverpool Football Club would be the first to admit that.

“We’re working with Everton and I’m confident that we’ll be able to put a proposal forward shortly.”

No Groundshare

When asked about the potential for a ground share with Liverpool Football Club, Anderson was determined that both clubs have their own proposals that are so far advanced that the idea of a share is now dead in the water.

Adding that he would have been behind such a scheme, he said, “I think it could have worked, it’s not going to work, but the thing that I want is for both clubs to be successful and have money coming out of their ears and buy the top players without worrying about a groundshare or whatever.

“But if it saves you tens of millions of pounds a year and you can work together then I would have been supportive of it.

“But it’s not going to happen. The proposals from both clubs are so far advanced now that it’s academic, so let’s move on from that.”

Build it on Stanley Park, now that the nonsense wont be. Save money by hiring the same architect that did the new San Mames and tell them to just build exactly the same thing, except our ground should be cheaper because there wont be the geographical features / old ground that bumped the price of that project up. Get the council to put as much money in as most of the London clubs are getting to move grounds (Spurs are at £27 million at least, West Ham £40 million plus).

The council has got far more important things to fund. We are a private sector entertainment business, they don't have enough for adequate social care.

What was the relevance of posting something from under a different regime?

Can't wait til all of Liverpool's funding is controlled by a central tory government. Boris will swing in wearing his Union Jack hardhat and demolish the Liver Buildings.

In summary, Moshiri better have deep pockets and rich friends.

I'm not sure your 28 word post really warranted a summary.

I saw you lurking and thought I better make things as simple as possible.

Could you summarise this for me please?

As @pablo 1878 said, I'm proud of being from Liverpool and we're the senior club in the City.

Totally agree, claim the city lads. When I say I'm heading to Liverpool, people assume I'm a Kopite and I'm constantly educating. Our shiny new waterfront home will help me change those perceptions and will most certainly give me a reference point for all those stags and hens. Cannot wait, as an Irish advocate for our city I cannot wait to boast of our new home.

I'd quite fancy the name Liverpool Waters as I'm sick of explaining where Everton is to new followers of the premier league & I think it sends a message were one of two big clubs in Liverpool, not some secondary club.

For a club that prides itself on its heritage, I really don't think the club are going to change its name and include the world Liverpool in its new name. The thought of it alone makes me feel sick.

The Waterfront Stadium would suffice for me.

Today has been horrific.

Come on, Mosh. Build me the world's best soccerball temple on the banks of the mighty Mersey. It's the only thing that'll heal my hurts.

Simply "New Goodison" would be great.

Think the idea is that the stadium is called The Liverpool Waters Stadium. We are the senior club in our great city - would be a huge statement.

Is there a prominent local 21st century water and sewage board engineer we can name the new ground after?
