New Everton Stadium

Well, so has ANYONE heard or have knowledge that Everton or Blue HEaven have bought this land?

OR has everybody else got the same info as Esk in that some land has been bought at BRamley Moore but we don't know who has bought it?

CHeers.

I think Mate you are just going to have to be patient like the rest of us and keep your fingers crossed it is proceeding.
 
For the people who are determined to be Debbie Downers, consider this.

It hasn't 'gone quiet', because the national press are currently being briefed about how much the land will cost.

And Andy Hunter is on a par with Paul Joyce for being reliable journos when it comes to Everton news.

Something is clearly happening behind the scenes.

A new stadium of suitable quality for us will cost circa £200m-£300m. It takes time to put various funding packages and loans into place, to purchase land, to negotiate with LCC the various enabling works required. To agree on how the roads surrounding the ground will be upgraded, looking at transportation issues, completing feasibility studies, looking at how draining the dock and filling it in will work. Then there's the surrounding areas, the affected businesses, the accompanying projects and how they will fit in with a new stadium in such a place. Even if we have the land secured, we can't just plonk a stadium in the middle of it, thought needs to be given to regeneration in the surrounding area.

This takes a long time. Moshiri has been in a position of power for 7 months. A dock stadium has only been a tangible possibility ever since he came on board. It takes a long time to sort stuff out.

Stamping your feet because LFC are opening a New Stand (that took them 2 years to build and also 14 years before that to complete compulsory purchase orders of the surrounding land) and you feel left out, and using current perceived 'inertia' as a sign nothing will happen is foolish in the extreme. Yeah, we've been burnt in the past and let down, but if things are to change, they don't just instantly change, and they certainly don't instantly change 7 months after someone has arrived when it comes to something like a £300m stadium in a desirable yet complicated waterside location.

So yeah, maybe a bit of patience is in order, even if you have your doubts. All we have had thus far is positive noises from several key people. That's a good start and better than nothing at all.


Excellent post.......
 
Interesting remarks there and has me thinking out aloud. Clearly Moshiri and Usmanov are very close. Okay Usmanov cannot directly involve himself with Everton (stadium) but he could be a co investor with Moshiri regarding development of land in close proximity.

Probably more like Panmure Gordon and co would be involved in getting the funds to finance the stadium and/or develop the land around the new stadium. Panmure Gordon would make sense as Moshiri is a shareholder. Moshiri's money is tied up in USM Holdings and unless he sells his shares that money will not be used.
 

Was speaking to a property developer I know who is planning to build apartments down by the docks on Peel's land and he's confirmed that Everton have bought a plot of land for 30 million, he's not sure exactly which plot but he's knows they've paid 30 million for a big plot of land. Seems the ball is well and truly rolling on this one! Fingers crossed it all comes off with success!
Interesting that you quoted £30m on 21 August the same figure as quoted in the Guardian last night whereas KEIOC quoted a £20m figure on 17 August followed shortly thereafter by the Echo.

Interesting, I wonder if the £20million is for just Bramley Moore dock, and the £30million includes the other land for parking/football quarter?

All I can tell anyone is what my mate told me who bought land off Peel in the same area for development.
