That's not bad, that's quite a way down the line. 126 entries last year but only 40 made it to the start line!! there will be obstacles still to overcome but getting into the race is often the hardest part.

I think it's a bit more than what has been released. The agreement to purchase the land was done months ago, it was on the proviso that funding could be agreed which that now as.
So the initial purchase agreement can be released, otherwise if the funding could not be secured we'd have another KD on our hands.
1. For a period of time, sure. But it'll be a set amount of time with Peel receiving compensation if we don't finalise the thing by the end of it, so it's largely meaningless other than in terms of risk-free intent.
2. It doesn't eliminate SC - it just makes it less likely. As said in point 1, we could just let the exclusivity period lapse and go elsewhere.
3. The fact this is public confuses me the most. These things should be covered all over the shop by NDAs. There's no benefit to Everton announcing half-arsed measures - what does it change?
In fact, I'll change what I said - it's news, but only news in that it is so strangely lacking.

Just imagine, usmanov could built this whole project, stadium included, and still be a multi billionaire.
Its on lads. #ImITK

This is the hope - hence why I'm saying "unless I'm missing something" alot!
This is Everton, everything was in place for the Kings Dock and money was ringfenced.
Until it's fully built I'll have my doubts.
Expect the worst and you won't be disappointed.

I have no doubt we will build it there, i just wish we were further along than just a statement to say we have contract to buy the land subject to PP and funding.
Actually if they took out the last part i would be happy enough, just makes it sound we are scrabbling around trying to raid the piggy bank. I wanted a statement saying 'we've bought the land subject to PP and we are building a world class stadium there shortly, we have all the money in the world so shove that up your jumpers'

ME: Hi, really like that wardrobe you've put on gumtree, can you please hold it for me until I can check it'll fit in my room?
The press release at 5 should give further details hopefully.
Wait til 5pm before fuming the Mayor most likely will announce that they will act as guarantor for the money for the stadium in which we will purchase the land in the coming weeks and apply for planning permission.
Stop wetting the bed the media/club can't announce/purchase the land until they know how we are financing it.

Only Everton fans can find a negative in what will be a new era and dawn of the club lol ( you know bring in the revenue we need) even tho I don't wanna move
This is my point - so why do it? I can't see the reason.
There's confidence and then there's stupidity - I honestly can't tell what one this is.
Don't get me wrong, I'm delighted that it is all pointing towards BMD rather than a disaster like SC, but I thought an announcement on it would be much more total than what it looks like we're getting.
Why would anyone do an announcement at 5pm?
Makes not sense at all........think that's a bit of a red herring.
I think we've had what we're getting for today.
A little underwhelming but positive
