New Everton Stadium

[Bullet]

Farhad Moshiri is a business man who will make the decision that is most amenable to advancing his business objectives. Mayor Anderson will pursue his own goal of acquiring development investment into one of his designated areas. The mayor has previously said, 'If it were a dockland site that's not owned by us, so they would have to purchase that. If they do something with us ... we are prepared to do a deal with them that brings the scheme to fruition.' He's only just oversaw a loan of £4 million to EFC and today was willing to travel down to London to meet Moshiri.
It's abundantly clear that Anderson is pushing SC hard and will put forward a very attractive proposal with significant public backing and the potential fast tracking of planning. This is what the 2 years refers to though it's unrealistic.
The waterfront is more glamorous and much more easily reached from the city centre but would be significantly more expensive and has the potential for much greater planning headaches.
On balance, at this moment, SC is clearly the more likely site for the new stadium though it appears that nothing has been decided yet.

Do we really need to clutter every thread with this sort of thing?

No mate. I'd much rather have you pissing your pants and having a breakdown at the slightest hint of a negative tweet or post.

Much more entertaining.

The fans may have got on board with SC if there were no other options offered but once the docks was mentioned it was game over for SC. Even if they came out and said the only option is now SC, I couldn't see most fans taking to it.

Why does everyone always go on about transport links? Goodison is probably in the least accessible area in Liverpool yet everyone still gets to the game. Where is more accessible than the city centre? SC will limit transport to people who have cars.

Least accessible how?

Everybody are talking about SC like it would be nuclear wasteland.

Well put sounds logical. SC would offer would have to be brilliant for EFC though that id Moshiri would take it, wouldnt it..?

I would do whatever was necessary to have the new stadium on the docks, wouldn't even consider Croxteth.

That's pure conjecture, a docklands site, though more complex to pull off is far likely to have a greater ROI for Moshiri and the club than SC site.

It would have been easier and cheaper not to pay out Koeman's contract at Southampton also.

Its all about location,if we want to become a big name then the ground has to be as close to the city centre as possible,imagine visitors/tourists wanting to tour both stadiums and asking for directions "Analfield lad? See that stand dominating the landscape thats it 10 minutes on the bus"
Oh you want to visit Everton as well? Go the bubble bus stops and wait for the 14 its about 40 minutes away just jump off by the big home bargain warehouse and its behind that"

I hate talking about the RS but...

Any chance we have of reclaiming the no.1 spot in the city largely rests on us securing a dock site/city centre site.

If we up sticks from Goodison and go to SC, Liverpool become even more attractive to new fans, players and investors than they currently area.

Liverpool FC, to outsiders, will be like the only team in the city with us hid away on the outskirts.

Manchester city's stadium isn't exactly city centre is t?

Totally agree with this

Sure to an extent. And obviously the Docks are paramount.

But to outsiders it really doesn't matter as much as you'd think. We're watching on television. It may, however, matter to tourists wanting to take in a match.

Like, I have no idea where Old Trafford or the Etihad are in respect to their city center. None at all.

That's true, but you can bet if Manchester had a waterfront like ours - with space to build a stadium - they'd be there in a shot.

SC is the still rotting corpse of DK. Unless the laws on private car journeys have changed then the same infrastructure issues exist at this site as at Kirkby (in fact worse as even Kirkby has a one-track rail link). DK required one of the countries busiest bus stations (which was reduced midweek) and 'crush loading' of trains to ferry supporters to and from the stadium. Unless there is major infrastructure investment SC will fail on this aspect alone.

Any new stadium must in my opinion be better connected to Liverpool city centre via public transport than GP as an absolute minimum requirement. If there are no locations then redevelopment should be the preferred option.

From what I read about Moshiri, and admittedly that is all from forum ITKs, I cannot believe he would make the same mistakes as Kenwright, Wyness and Elstone.

Another note on Moshiri Mick, not only was he a sharedholder during the Arsenal stadium build, but his business partner Uzmanov was the chair Director of Gazprom and by proxy Zenit for the large part of their current (ongoing since 2008) new stadium build - which also happens to be a waterfront development, so he has seen first hand how it's done.

To see those two stadia and then go for the option in the arse end of nowhere - just wopuld strike me as very very odd - and would set alarm bells ringing
