    Default Everton FC and stadium

    The Planet Hollywood owners and founder Robert Earl has bought 25% of EFC. He is into entertainment

    - casinos, restaurants, etc, and wants to bring this to EFCs new stadium - when they get a site and build one. He wants top stars to visit EFC to raise the

    image. Silvester Stillone is to visit soon.

    Now this makes me think that he may want a prime site in Liverpool, not Kirkby for the entertainment

    aspect of the stadium. Does this mean they may go for Central Docks?



    I hope not.

    Talking Blues talk to Celtic's stadium builder.

    EVERTON officials are talking with one of the country's top stadium builders over plans for a new home in

    Kirkby.

    The club has spoken to Barr, the developers behind Celtic's acclaimed Parkhead stadium and St Mary's in Southampton, as they prepare to

    decide on whether to quit Goodison.

    The Ayrshire-based firm is now working on ideas if Everton leave the city after 114 years.

    The club was

    today tight-lipped, insisting the scheme was at the very earliest stage.

    A spokesman said: "We are still studying several

    options."

    Blues sign Tesco deal

    EVERTON Football Club have signed an exclusive deal towards the building of a new stadium in Kirkby.

    TheBlues have agreed that the move four miles from Goodison is now their preferred option, and have reached formal agreement with Knowsley council and Tesco to start the project.

    The news of the deal will be formally announced to shareholders tonight at the club's AGM at Goodison Park, the Blues home for 114 years.

    If the scheme goes ahead it would not only provide Everton with a world-class venue but would also mean a multi-million pound regeneration of Kirkby.

    It is hoped the three-way partnership with Tesco and Knowsley will keep costs of building the venue to an absolute minimum.


    However, the club, which has made no comment on today's agreement, will tonight emphasis the fact that no final decision on moving has been taken.


    Above all, the Blues will stress their supporters will be fully involved during negotiation and discussion, and well before any final decision to quit Goodison.


    Although the project is only in its infancy, if it was to be adopted and completed, the centrepiece would be a state-of-the-art stadium for the Blues, a world-class venue which would hold at least 50,000 people.

    Though they would ideally have preferred to have remained within the Liverpool city boundary, it is believed the as-yet undisclosed potential stadium site stands less than four miles from Goodison as the crow flies.

    Despite recent talk of a move to Kirkby, Everton have always maintained there were three options open - a new, stand-alone stadium, a shared stadium with Liverpool FC, or the rebuilding of Goodison.

    With Liverpool now close to concluding a huge investment deal with Dubai and the cost of regenerating Goodison believed to be prohibitively high, Blues chairman Bill Kenwright and his fellow directors are thought to have opted for a move away from the club's much-loved home.

    Either they have or they haven't.

    The club has had only ever considered two options, move or share, building GP was always out of the question.

    I wonder what the Arabs will want with LFC. They will not want a half-cocked effort as the LFC design is. Would they still want to be in the same district?

    Would this encourage the Arabs to invest in the city of Liverpool? New tower proposed, etc. Invest In Wirral Waters? Never know.

    I think why they're being cagey is because they want it to put it to the fans first,if you look back in the thread a bit you'll see that they are going to release shiny new renders soon of the new stadium to get the fans on board.They've clearly made their minds up they are now hoping to get the majority of the fans to support the plans,if the money's there to build it then it'll happen I reckon.The AGM is tonight so tomorrows Echo should be full of it.

    Another silly vote? LFC never. EFC have had two overwhelming votes so far, so that should tell them the fans are for it. A waste of time. They should get on with the job instead of dithering.

    I think it'll happen John and I agree if it come to that it would be a waste of time i'm not sure whether we'd need another vote? We should know more tomorrow I hope?

    Default Dubai takeover 'will only work if Liverpool share stadium'

    Dubai takeover 'will only work if Liverpool share stadium'
    By DANIEL KING - Daily Mail

    Last updated at 23:11pm on 9th December 2006

    Liverpool's potential new owners will be able to make a decent return on their £450 million investment only if they revisit proposals for a groundshare with arch-rivals Everton, according to a leading football finance expert.

    Last night insiders at both clubs dismissed the idea, but Professor Tom Cannon, dean of the University of Buckingham, insists the controversial move is the only way Dubai International Capital could make the deal work.

    Although Cannon rates the chances of the Dubai takeover going through as high, he believes that DIC could still walk away if they cannot see a way of significantly increasing profits.

    DIC are the private equity arm of the Dubai state, whose leader is Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashin Al Maktoum, reputedly the fifth richest man in the world.

    A groundshare would meet with huge opposition from both sides of the Merseyside divide.

    Everton were once keen on the long-mooted idea, but they are now further down the road with plans to move to Kirby than Liverpool are with proposals for a new stadium in Stanley Park and would not want to feel beholden to their rivals or their new owners.

    But government and development agencies have always made it clear they would give increased political and financial backing to a shared stadium.

    Cannon said: "When DIC have invested in other businesses, they have been looking for a return of about 10 per cent per year on their money.

    "In the last three years, Liverpool have averaged a profit of £1m-£2m. Even if DIC are looking to increase the profits to £20m, the only way I can see them doing it is by building a shared stadium. A hotel and other facilities would bring in a certain amount of money with one team, but with two they could make a lot more money."

    But Professor Cannon has joined other experts in warning that the Sheikh will not be matching the Chelsea transfer spree funded by Roman Abramovich.

    Cannon said: "I'm told that the Sheikh is far from impressed with the publicity surrounding the bid and the suggestion he is the new Abramovich.

    "DIC are an investment company and they will not be looking at Liverpool out of sentiment or just as a way of raising the country’s profile. You could buy an awful lot of advertising for £450m."

    If the DIC deal does not go through, American multi-millionaire George Gillett jnr could return with an improved bid.

    Hmmmm.. What would Liverpool rather have, the Premiership title or to have to share a stadium. It would seem to me that the significant investment that would enable the Reds to become once more the supreme force in English soccer might make a swallowing of pride over sharing a ground worthwhile.

    Take no notice of Tom Cannon he always makes ludicrous claims there will be no shared stadium.The fact that both clubs have already dismissed this proves he's talking crap.

    If they did share GP or Anfield could become the reserve team ground for both.

    When Everton first played on Stanley Park it was outside the city boundary.
    When Everton first played at Priory Road it was outside the city boundary.
    When Everton first played at Anfield it was outside the city boundary.
    When Everton first played at Goodison Park it was outside the city boundary.
    When Everton play in Kirkby it will be outside the city boundary.

    Knowsley is an artificial council rimming Liverpool and should be incorporated into Liverpool. This came about as Liverpool Council refused to incorporate Kirkby and Halewood in the city as the Boundaries Commission suggested. Kirkby is in all intents a part of Liverpool, as is Bootle, Birkenhead, Wallasey, etc. There is talk of extending Liverpool to incorporate Knowsley and parts of Sefton.

    The city always followed Everton.

    The protracted stadium move over now 10 years has eaten at the club - this results from poor club management. From the biggest in the UK to second tier. There are no Arabs waiting with pot of gold ready to save Everton - Everton have a poor image. If EFC stay at Goodison Park, be prepared for Championship football.

    Roll on Kirby. The sooner the move in the better.
