New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium


Why are people taking this 50k number so seriously? I know it's sun tan Bob but in his statement he made mention of fan consultation with regards to final plans.

Make sure you make your feelings know when asked.

Not sure Sun tan bob mentioned it but it's in the council report which is being voted on.
 


Obviously we won't default on payment, all this is a bit of a mouthful like:

Security Package

The proposed security package comprises:

EFC opening two bank accounts in EFC’s name, but charged in favour of the LCC SPV.  The first account (Cash Flow Account) will be used as security for the payment of the rent in the Occupational Lease by EFC. All season ticket revenue, hospitality fees and naming rights income will be credited to this account. EFC are only entitled to access and use the funds once the rent for the forthcoming year has been paid. It is proposed if EFC is relegated from the Premier League and for as long as EFC are not in the Premier League, they will be required to credit a significant sum of the season ticket revenue (excluding hospitality membership fees and naming rights income) to this account.  The second account (Rent Deposit Account) will be used as security for performance of EFC’s obligations under the Occupational Lease. EFC will be required to make annual payments to the Rent Deposit Account for the first five years of the term of the lease. All interest which accrues on the deposit remain in the account. If EFC is relegated, then they will be required to top up the Rent Depo
 
Fifa fair play excludes all infrastructure costs such as stadiums from calculations. It's exclusively for the player market.

I think you are spot on in that mate. I do wonder if the smoke and daggers is an elaborate way to have a certain Russian involved though?

As an aside, I read Levy was looking for 400 million from naming rights for your new place. Is there any truth in that? Any idea over what time frame?
 
He's never done anything like this before.

His priorities here on the stadium put simply appear to be: keep his hands out of his pocket, let others step forward and stand behind the financial package required on whatever terms necessary for them to do that, get it built, then get out of the club with a massive profit upon sale of shares.
Yes and as the majority owner you presume he risks nothing which is simply not the case. This deal allows the club to continue building on other areas. I think it will prove to be a success in the long term future of the club.
 
Am i right in this:

- What we currently have is a deal in place to buy the land, no one can buy it apart from us and Peel con not change their mind or drive the price up
- We can (in few months) withdraw from the deal if we changed our mind without paying a penny
- The club will now decide the capacity and design and will consult the fans about them
- Once the design and capacity are agreed, the club will know how much will it cost, the club will then get the money needed and then buy the land and start the constructions

The only thing unclear is that since we don't have a plan yet (design and capacity) we don't know how much will it cost, a 50K stadium will cost something and a 65K stadium will cost much more, so how come they are talking about 300M and how many years and how much we will pay for it?
 

This is obv a VERY complex deal and financial package, being manoeuvred into place by a world class expert in Moshiri.
But just sit back and read the "WHY ARENT WE JUST PAYING IT OURSELVES NOW WERE LOADED ARENT WE?".
We couldn't afford 30m for kings dock. Yet they moan at this. It looks like a series of moves to circumvent high interest payments, allow input from a possible outsider (who isn't technically allowed to), and to circumvent ffp by allowing all matchday income to go to players/wages.
But they just wont understand that. BOOOOOO
 
FIFA fair play knackered any chance of us spending what we would like to on a stadium. We currently have weak sponsor deals that tie our hands so I am sure our owners will have sorted out the best way to make this viable whilst growing on the pitch too.

I expected us to look for a deal that would maximise the clubs ability to compete at the top end of the league whilst we rectify the 20 years + of mismanagement which has seen us lose considerable ground off the pitch with our peers.

The loan will be insignificant if we can start to rub shoulders with the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, which is where a club with Everton stature belongs.

That's not true. Even Damo knows that we can spend whatever we want on "Infrastructure" without it affecting FFP. Capital losses from investing in non-playing staff related costs don't come into it.
 
Yes would that mean when it was paid off they would own the stadium though, or Everton would own the stadium?
Until we paid them whatever sum is agreed in the contract they whoever finances it would own it.

I honestly think this is smoke and mirrors to have one of moshiris/usmanovs companies to fund it to get around the rules. In gangster terms the council are a front company being used to funnel money through
 
I understand that and it's all fine but the talk by some that Morshiri doesn't have a clue is quite amusing. If some on here are the business men they are quite obviously making themselves out to be then why aren't they the billionaire?

I always remember the first thing I said to myself when Moshiri came in was "At last, someone with business acumen!"
 
Typical - computer in for repair so can't look at the backgroud info, but am I right in thinking that EFC go to the markets using LCC as a flag of convenience, EFC develop the ground then lease it to LCC, LCC administer the repayments by way of two accounts with a lien on them in favour of LCC, certain income streams are given as security to LCC.
So effectively the "novel" funding scheme is identical to EFC/PruTrustees/EIL/GPSL that was in place, just different participants?

*for LCC read their SPV.

ok mate
