Athletic Bilbao. You heard it here first. We'll be coefficiently screwed by UEFA.

If it is never going to happen, we aren't going to get investment. Simple as.
Redeveloping Goodison is not the way forward. You don't build a house on quicksand. Of course, I love Goodison, but for the money we'd spend doing it up could be better spent towards a new stadium.
Scary tbh, imagine the squad we have now minus Lukaku, Barry and Deulofeu taking on one of the bigger teams in the final qualifying round...
Investment??
This can only happen if some very rich guy buys the shares (the proceeds of which go into the shareholders pockets, not the club's bank account) Then puts cash into the clubs accounts. No one is going to make a big loan to the club to put money into the club's bank account.
I wish people would realise this.
I don't go with the "new ground" noose round the neck theory, the Etihad only cost 150m not a deal breaker in the world of the super rich plus City rent it at circa 4 to 5m a year - not the freebie everyone says.Before Man City were taken over, they were in a similar position to us. As in they were supposedly the 'second team' of a big city, whilst the other team was doing very well, and spending shed loads.
The only major difference being that City have a new stadium..
So I guess the sticking point would be that we're at an outdated ground, and as much as I love the place, investors probably don't see it in the same way as we do. I wish they could just have some vision and put some plans out to renovate the place, which might open a door for investors to step in and be willing to pay for the updates to the ground and invest in the team and make us consistently competitive in Europe.
Just a plan anyway
