New Everton Stadium

[Victus]

I really need to know how much and for how long before I can truly scale my fume.

Yes, we should all take responsibilty for actions years before we were born, but I congratulate you for going to the museum.

People are talking up their virtues as a local firm.

Maybe find more about them first?

All you have to do is read this forum to know this isn’t true, you don’t speak for every Evertonian. I’m not embarrassed by it, it’s not great but in the grand scheme of my life there’s many things I’ve said and done that is more embarrassing than the name of our stadium. Maybe a little stepping back and getting a grip is required.

Commerically the club thinks it makes sense, it’s a local law firm with a strong reputation in its field. I think it boils down to we have bigger fish to fry. I’ll tell you this I prefer it to the Bank of America or Pepsi or something like that.

And in the grand scheme of my life and many peoples it’s not worth the outrage and bandwidth your giving it.

I have to say this perfectly represents my opinion.

A name is a name only for commercial reasons. It doesn't embarrass me, in fact I am embarrassed for the ones that are getting angry over this. As you said, it really is not worth the outrage. If you don't like it then fair enough, but shrug your shoulders and get on with your life.

I also like it over some of the big names, that have been mentioned.

We’re well-versed in humiliation. After 35 years of having our heads patted by Kenwright’s sweet seductive sepia-toned lies, what’s another “humiliation.”

Amazing how so much mismanagement was tolerated here for over quarter of a century, yet a deal that brings in bucks is the straw to break the camel’s back.

Except it won’t be.

"Brings in bucks".

Not specified by the club. The length of contract is not even specified.

It's all vague but some people are prepared to hand a club that - as you say - taken the piss for 35 years the benefit of the doubt.

Call it what ye like take the dough and move on when we start going there we will be all calling it Bramley moor anyway like we have been..

 

[Librarian]

They seem to have a history in maritime law and I suppose the docks and corporate boxes at the stadium would be a good place to bring clients.

I wonder if any of this played a part in our buying the adjacent dock?

 

[davek]

I don`t think too many will be feeling that way. Naming rights was a way to get some extra cash in the bank and an extra bit of revenue that we never had at Goodison.

...the price of everything, the value of nothing...

 

[wandyr79]

Wow, some of the hyperbole and over reaction by a certain member is off the charts at this.

It's like a comedy sketch at times. Maybe a bit of soap opera in there. Along with some Jim Carrey style over acting.

They accepted the vagueness over Moyes’s contract, didn’t they?

That wasn’t even specified either.

They have clearly brought some money into the club with this deal - which is more than Spurs have so far managed…

Calm down lids,
It’s just an announcement to divert the rage from the Young/Coleman re-signings.

Done a bit of digging and apparently they:
- represented the NHS in the 'this Nurse Letby' case
- once instructed Keir Starmer to act as their barrister
- advised the Canada Dock wind turbine company on their planning application
- play golf of a Sunday with Commander Steve; and worst of all..
- handled Patto's bullying complaint to Finch Farm HR against Sean Dyche

If you’re genuinely embarrassed and feeling humiliated by a club corporate sponsor, you should probably toughen up a bit.

Surprised people made through the ‘Danka’ years alive.

 

[ForeverEverton]

It’s an LLP. Doesn’t pay Corporation Tax. Tax transparent. The deal is a base of £35M over 7 years. More if we do well.

Thanks, The deal is a bit different to the £10m a season some are blindly believing... £5m a season seems more plausible.

Can I ask how you know the amount and length of the deal?
