First step to new ownership

L4Everton

Player Valuation: £30m
So Everton seemingly have a green light to be part of a development in Walton Hall Park. Should this transpire (the permission) and if LCC have the willing and some of the funds for the entire development it is without question the first step to BK handing the reigns over to someone (most likely someones) and the club embarking on a new chapter of ownership and therefor a new direction.

The new stadium planned and allowed to be built will leave the club in a far better position financially for sale as with projected increased earnings via TV internationally a new stadium would be branded along with some venture replacing Chang leading to concentrated exposure for whomever it is in control. This is BK's roll of the dice, apparently the global recession has turned and the possibility of a new stadium is enough for him to realise his stake (plus interest) when selling up.

There have been quite a few clubs that have gone to consortiums or to an owner who is a bit shady in terms of who owns him. Are we better off with the devil we know or should we be buckled in for a rollercoaster ride with just any old Tom D.ick or Harry.
 

Not wishing to throw cold water on the subject, but we need to know exactly what part and how big a part of a WHP development a stadium would actually represent. If other parts of said development were say to be a shopping mall, then gameday parking would be a potential nightmare. Let's not get too carried away till more information is made public.

underground multi storey, not a problem

As oppose to the amazing parking we currently have?
 

Ah but, the idea of moving to a new site and stadium is to make car parking issues much less of an issue and ideally not an issue !!

Who drives the stadium anyway? No way you could provide a car park big enough for 50,000 to visit. People are better using public transport or the park and rides located around the city. You're a fookin idiot if you drive in and around the ground before or after the game, traffic is a nightmare.

well with the obvious exception of Coco The Kenwright who likes to drive in with his tiny one man bubblecar and when he beeps the funny horn the doors fall off

Allianz Arena offers near ten thousand for a capacity of over seventy thousand. A similar ratio wouldn't go amiss in any future development if the local road infasutructe could handle it.

Personally I very, very rarely drive and park at the match yet I'm aware a fair amount do, or at least would, if it was viable. May also attract fans who wouldn't normally attend.

With regards to a sale: the prospect of a new stadium is still a long way off. Any possible sale is equally as distant so I wouldn't get too intolerant of Bill's smile just yet.
