No you are ten years late in those dates.
Johnson didnt do his buyout until the summer of 1994 a couple of months before the PE was opened.

What has Bill Kenwright achieved in all his years at the club?

I think we're misunderstanding what each other saying here mate.
Johnson took over in late 1993. He was the chairman that appointed Mike Walker in January 1994.
The Park End had already been planned and agreed in 1992-1993, and building began at the end of 1993.
You are right in saying that Johnson never planned it being a single tier, because he had no involvement in the planning.
However, he was approached in 1996 and 1997 about expanding it to two tiers, and he turned it down, saying it wasn't necessary. He then started banging a drum for a stadium move, balloting everyone, and planning a stadium in Cronton. Then there was talk of Kirkby Golf Course, which was very quickly knocked on the head. Then Park Foods lost a load of money and he saw his arse financially, and decided to claw back the money he lost by taking it back from the club. That's why Ferguson was sold without Smith's consent. That basically ended his reign, as the fans forced him out, and Kenwright was the only one who would step forward to buy him out.
As bad as Kenwright has been at times, if Johnson had remained chairman and owner, we would have been relegated by 2000, I've no doubt about that.

The new increase in tv money couldn't have came at a better time for kenwright.
It's given him an extra lifeline at a time when he was essentially dead and buried in the eyes of many

It only allows us to 1 thing tho.
I think we will basically be like Arsenal, spend all our "profit" on paying off the stadium.
I think its another reason in the sharp change of direction into picking up younger players and tying down all our better players to long term contracts.
Think we are gonna be sell to buy for the next few years.

WHP would be a nightmare from the car travel perspective. GP has the quickest road traffic dispersion rate in the PL (Police figures), presumably because there are roads in all directions going to and away from it. Consider WHP though. I'd assume the stadium itself would be on the Walton Hall Avenue side. There's only one way away -- that provided by Walton Hall Ave itself. There's no rail connections. It's a residential area, so there's no way there'd be on road parking permitted. And there's no car parking plots in the area either.

With the introduction of Financial Fair Play rules, the only way that we will ever be able to compete more than we currently do is to increase our revenue streams and the money we take in. That is where a new stadium comes in.
Of course a club could just get bought by a billionaire, but that would just mean they'd have to use creative accounting, such as doing things like a shirt sponsorship deal for a ridiculously over inflated price.
FFP is rigidly linked to the amount of money you take in.

Its a mile away from Goodison and Goodison itself only has 1 main away.
Goodison is also a residential area incase you hadnt noticed and again has no rail connection.
