Everton FC's Farhad Moshiri BUYS the Royal Liver Building

[ianefc]

My great great grandfather was a branch union leader on the docks back in the day and had his dinner on one of the clock faces before it was raised into place. I resent the fact this civic asset is "owned" by any one man.

Dave's unhappy about something.

the talks with peel over the stadium and the new developments on the mersey must have triggered more than just his interest in Everton, but Liverpool as a whole. its great news for us blues too.

Civic asset? Never was. It was the HQ of a commercial company.

Technically it's owned by a group of men. However I'm sad upon realising the Royal Liver Insurance,who owned the building previously, have been swallowed up by a lousy cockney firm.

So you really think I meant that to be serious ?
The humour on this thread has been great very optimistic if you think we could take the liverbirds of the red lots badge - nice thought likelol
We can point it out to them jokingly like?

I was talking about the report in the Echo Joey

Pru I think. Doesn;t destroy my point though.

as a non-Scouse, how close is this building to the new dock-side stadium?

as i watched the horribly mismanaged downtown Tucson evolve from a place that had a bunch of office by day, and at night a few dive bars, on old concert venue and the still hip Hotel Congress (where Dillinger was caught) into what is now a destination with craft breweries, hip and trendy bars and restaurants, have to wonder if Mosh has a similar vision.

not only build the club up, but build up a part of the city to make everything more attractive to all involved.

amusingly seemingly opposite how the neighbors have acted in regards to the area around their stadium.
