Again I see this point a lot and it doesn't hold water. If we didn't have a new stadium it's not like we would have been able to spend that money on the team, we had already blown PSR through player trading and high value contracts.
The stadium is the thing that will hopefully allow us to free up some cash to go forward. Staying at Goodison would have seen us dwindle even further into the has beens. Once players started picking mid-level (at best) clubs over us then we have lost the ability of trading on our great name alone. Other clubs earn close enough to us to stop us from having an advantage we cannot fail to be ahead, this is where we need to get to again. Only by having the pull of a big stadium and the income it generates can we start to pull above those teams again.
