New Everton Stadium

Even if you lowballed it and said 150-175m, that should be able to buy you a patch of land even in expensive areas. I wonder if we did ever put a cheeky bid for the central docks with a similar amount it would cost to break ground at BMD.

That could have sped up the planning stages, perhaps we could have got approval before covid and then finished the build before Ukraine happened. You'd imagine that would have cut the costs by at least 30%, we would have been able to finance it using Usmanov's backing and in the process missed out on the points deductions.

Unfortunately there was no chance Peel would have sold us a plot at the Central Docks, smack bang in the middle of their Liverpool Waters scheme.

Pity though, that dock was filled decades ago and has had all this time to settle and consolidate. Like you say, would have been a significant on the stadium had we been building there and not at BM.
