New Everton Stadium

[Boss_Blue]

four stands would remind me of Villa Park or Ewood Park.

westfalenstadion does look boss though

Something like this and I could leave Goodison with my head held high.

Something like Kirkby and I will be devastated.

Or...er... Goodison Park?

There's no actual new information in that Mail article.

He has been briefed I would imagine. I wouldnt be surprised if a couple more articles came out soon too.

If Bill et al somehow got us this on a leased basis..which paved way for the rich ARAB type to come in and takeover with no initial stadium costs, would his legacy go down as good??

Lead item on Talksport sports bulletin.

Not sure if that adds anything though.

Absolutely. This is our only chance of a sale to someone with some wealth.

Would a retail park work on Goodison? EARL, Green get their slice of pie that way...

No, his legacy is the Kings Dock failure, as a result of which we've missed out on an iconic stadium/location and Arab investment already

Well at the moment I do agree mate. But if a stadium is eventually delivered and investment comes then it may change things. But yes I completely agree right now.

No he'd still be the man the presided over the kirkby and Kings dock farces, the ntl shambles, introduced a questionable American director, took loans out like theirs no tomorrow and won nothing in 15 years.

You didn't just think of that just then on the run did you?

Awesome plans...

Obviously ours would need to be pro rata...

Indeed.

That project also smashes to pieces the view that a community stadium that is going to provide daily use has to be in the City centre, as Monks Cross is an out of town retail park

I asked a senior figure at the club this week and was told there is not an imminent announcement as per the rumour mill but some progress has been made.

'Some progress has been made'

15 years in control, two failed stadium schemes behind them, and it's still at that stage.

The 'facility led strategy' of Everton FC: a cart with no horse.

Obviously we prefer without naming rights, but in the current climate we need the financial help.
