Was it ever established that the Jain involved was the company that basically builds flats in Chennai, or was it a different Jain? There are quite often announcements about the regeneration of parts of Liverpool...currently theres talk of a rapid transit system 'joining Gp, Anfield and the Arena in a loop'...that seems to clash with the reports of a new location being discussed for EFC.

This was the bigger Jain group.

Is this loop on the rail system by any chance? Because the opening up of certain old stations was mooted many years ago, especially walton hall lane by the police station to service both current grounds. To extend that to another, by Sandhills iirc, would be a logical progression.

Its described as 'rapid transit'.....but how close would it get to the Arena? James Street ? Shouldn't imagine they're talking a tram system like Manchester...although tram systems seem to be the 'thing' with planners at present. All I did was google 'Liverpool Walton Regeneration plans'

By raising our profile, it makes us worth more money. Worth more money to prosepctive buyers, worth more money to commercial partners, will probably be worth about £5kpw to a player in terms of negotiations. I think we need to see where we are this coming season in terms of playing staff before judging. I struggle to see whats bad about competing in Europe, without considering what wining it gets us this year. This could be the bigest pot of mioney eer for winning the Europa, as you get ECL qualification aswell.

The only difference between us and pretty much any other team in the Prem this year is that we loaned players who improved our first team. They will of also improved the players below them. that to me is the correct usage of the loan market, using players to step you up a level.

If you want to travel to london, you dont buy the train do you, you only buy a ticket to get to where you want to go, while somebody else owns the risk. You could buy an affordable car, but it wont get you there as quick and could break down on the M6.

Your missing the big difference that pretty much every other club in the premier league spent some money on players

The £75m is what exactly - the lifetime cost of the lease?

The facility was built by someone else, we sold a patch of scrub land and lease a training facility. Your argument is a total nonsense.

What is nonesense is that we didn't build the training facility ourselves and have an asset on our books instead of giving it away and having a lifetime of obligation.

Look what happened, the owner went bankrupt and the council had to save us. We could just as easily been without a training ground

Is the Blue Union still formed?? It had elements in which l did not like. KEIOC on the other hand done a fantastic job, and i wish they had kept themselves seperate from the other elements of the Blue Union.

My view on it.

All the constituent parts that make the BU are still in existence including KEIOC.

In fact I saw some of its founders last night in town.

It's possible Bill and the Board have no intention of selling and speaking as an Evertonian, if i was in his position with the way the club is now, I can't really blame him, he's Chairman of one of the great institutions of English football and a fan, he's living the dream.
One thing I do know is that all the bitching in the world on an internet forum isn't going to make a single bit of god damn difference.

The words from the worlds greatest Evertonians mouth at the last AGM at GP was "I realised as soon as I signed the deal [in 1999] to gain control [from Johnson] that I needed to sell the club as I couldnt progress the club because I dont have the money".

Exactly the same as I feel. Knowing some of the idiots from SOS and the facebook stuff I said at the time it was a bad idea.

That may be the only thing he has delivered on as I seriously doubt he owns the club now. Its more likely Phillip Green which is the main problem over price he doesn't give two shiny ones about Everton only about making a big profit on his investment.
