You can't wait to be right.

I hope I'm not wrong.

We don't want the same thing.

I want it to succeed, you want it to fail for internet points.

No. It's that I KNOW it'll fail. Unfortunately this is one of the worst bids we had.

I'd even have gone with Bell and Downing to avoid this Friedkin deal.

That;s because to me identity is number one priority in supporting Everton. If we become a multi-club owned entity we lose our particularity to a great degree.

I wont stand for that - AT ALL.

I was reading yesterday that the change in location was due to arachnological concerns with the site. Is that right @AS Roma_fan?

With financing proposed through Bank of America and another party. I would say 2028 is not going to be achievable. It took EFC 5 years and that was with a 1 year delay due to COVID (causing supply chain issues etc). Plus almost a year of site preparation work filling in the dock. Also the EFC cost ballooned from £505m to > £760m

Actually, the project was spoiled by the city council. It was conceived under Marino's mayorship. Unfortunately Marino was replaced by Virginia Raggi. Raggi didn't like the project and revoked the city's assent. Pallotta worked with her to find a solution, but the proceedings had to start from scratch. The project was changed, obtained the council's assent again just to be blocked by the arecheological authority on absurd grounds. The proceedings were still ongoing when the Friedkins arrived. They decided to cancel everything and start a completely different project.

Where’s it even been said that the restructured debt is going around the stadium? As far as I’ve read, it’s literally just being paid off straight up, no alternatives

which is better innit?

[Goat]

But we will have our own CEO that will determine the direction of the club.

I have a black and white filter on my phone so can you be a bit more specific

They do 12 billion in revenue, that's not net worth. Most reports have his current worth at 6 billion.

Its not net worth, but it's indicative of a very diversified and cash generative businesses.

He will not have difficulties accessing capital.

But they are Tories Dav. You would never have accepted it so don’t pretend you would have.

His on a fishing expedition and there’s plenty biting it seems.

He always does this you should read what he said about the new stadium, adamant it would never get built.

He makes this site interesting as those who know what his like just watch as he winds up every one.
