The Everton Board Thread (Inc. Bill Kenwright / Blue Union)

[glorydaze]

Yes, but for that to be a serious issue for them Everton would have to have serious plans to leave the city...they dont. Do you think any neighbouring authorities on M'side would get into that with Everton after Kirkby?

Not a chance.

I think the likes of Sefton council would welcome them, the tax income alone would be worth it. Not sure if they have a suitable site though.

Other than business rates, (I guess), what other tax do the club pay to the council? Any council for that matter.

Just demolish Bootle, that would be big enough.

Business rates are high,(I know) but couldn't give a figure,subsidery business as well and the prestige. Not sure on the ins and outs just saying I think other local councils would be open to it.

Seconded

The rates rates are quite high, but its more to do with the local economy and the knock on it will have

[Bungle]

Well a Councillor/MP against the people who actually balance the balance the books and look for ways to generate income are 2 separate things.

You're eager to dismiss it as nothing more than a soundbite Dave & we both know the current incumbents will almost certainly never lay a brick for the stadium solution.

However, in your eagerness to bat it off as total pony, you might be missing what I would consider to be the potential obvious here.

If there was a scheme that had potential council support, was part of a regeneration programme & (given the funds) was both acceptable to the fanbase & deliverable. If this scheme was drawn up & ready to roll out, would it not be a massive help in them trying to move the club on? As the elephant in the room for EFC has always been the stadium & the uncertain cost issue that surrounds it's solution for any potential buyer. If there was something, approved, costed & with a sensible price tag, surely that would be a step forward?

New owners would not take control on the basis of a scheme green lighted. It'd have to be built. This lot are going to have to do the heavy lifting on that, and I for one dont believe they have the confidence of the local state (or local capital for that matter) to get beyond concept.

There was the same fuss last year about the accounts "being late", and the club pointed out they normally get published towards the end of Jan. 12 months later, same thing all over again (though in fairness not as much of a fuss outside of the normal parties, I'd guess if I went onto Toffeeweb someone is having a rant).

Up to the last couple of years they were done and dusted not far into the new season.

 

[Bluesnapper]

brilliant isn't it

sad thing is gullible fans who see what he says probably think we are progressing when like you said we are no further forward

Classic Elstone, he wants us all to take our eye off the transfer window ball.

 

[Bluesnapper]

Do you know what the Liverpool 2 project is?? Do you know how long that was in the pipeline for??

They announced it approx 2 years ago and its due to be onstream in 18 months or so.

2006 11-Dec
2007 01-Nov
2008 05-Dec
2009 20-Nov
2010 07-Feb
2011 09-Dec
2012 03-Jan

Only 2007, and even that was 4 months in (based on dates of newspaper reports).

Its been in the pipeline for the last 7.

This is the point I was trying to make; the length of time things take even before announcements are made
