General Meeting 09.01.2018

[ADT]

Not released from any of that. No special tax breaks. Yes we are getting some money from the NFL but that has nothing to do with state aid...

The difference is that yours is actually happening mate

 

[Dooguk]

BK: “We are here to support our manager. That’s what this football club is all about.”

 

[phil_t98]

But mate the Everton knockers on here don't want to read that, they want to read about Everton and the council robbing the poor, and taking the p!z.

it just seems like people have forgot whats been said previously. somebody mentioned Rodger Philips before and if everyone can remember the kopites were loosing there heads thinking the council were giving us the money and it aint like that

 

[Sir Alan]

“It’s all to play for” apparently.

Dear god I hate them.

 

[PhilEFC]

Oh FFS

He’s like an embarrassing uncle that fella.

 

[AndyC]

Or, you've been totally wrong and suggested another poster 'stfu' for suggesting otherwise.

Possibly, possibly, but I'm perfectly happy with my position.

 

[Gladystweet]

I need a new hobby.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Dan Meis “the stadium will be an elongated oval shape with circular fan zones at either end providing an bountiful array of match day entertainment. An exclusive VIP entrance will be available on the riverside with glistening man made floating islands welcoming our new, exclusive fan base from all over the World”

Uh oh. EVERTON!

 

[CRIMHEAD]

Not released from any of that. No special tax breaks. Yes we are getting some money from the NFL but that has nothing to do with state aid...

This is just what I read awhile ago, did this not happen:

"The local council, Haringey, desperately keen to keep Spurs investing £400m in a deprived area, agreed last year to reduce the club's obligations towards transport and other community improvements, originally part of planning permission for the new stadium, from £16.4m down to £0.5m. In total £41m of public money from the council and the mayor of London's office has been promised for the area around Spurs' proposed new stadium; the authorities' sense of urgency prompted by the shock of the riots that erupted in Tottenham in the summer of 2011.

Also encouraging Levy to stay was that the standard London planning requirement for housing developments – to include 50% affordable housing – was waived for Spurs, after he argued that to make the new stadium financially viable, the club needs all the money it can make from selling 285 apartments on the site of the current ground at full market rate."

 

[Jack1882]

So West Ham got a stadium for free. I thought they only paid like 2.5M in rent and taxpayers foot the bill for maintenance, no? Man City got almost 200M because of the Commonwealth games. Soooo...what did I say incorrectly?

What you said about Tottenham mainly... but you also misrepresented the situation with West Ham because they didn't get a stadium, they got a great deal on a rental not really fit for purpose.

There's obviously some potential to get state aid when a stadium is designed for one big initial event (like the Olympics) but then a football team gets use out of it after. That isn't the situation with Everton is it.

 

[orly]

Possibly, possibly, but I'm perfectly happy with my position.

They better hurry up and show some piccys then Andy, as you'd gone all in on tonight.

Genuinely I've got to ask, why do the likes of the Esk and DerbyshireandHarper do this? "You'll be proven wrong at the AGM". How many times do they need to be wrong?

 

[davek]

There MUST be clarification on this "2/3rds LCC financing" by end of evening.

The fact that Elstone stated on NYE that investment was proving difficult tends to make me believe that they ARE saying that LCC will be funding directly and that they hope they can do this and then go to the private sector for the remainder.

 

[windymiller]

Dave, if I've genuinely offended you, I apologise... however, you and your endless negativity are extremely trying.

I suggested to you over a week ago that you desist banging on and on about the stadium being a non-entity, but you've chosen to carry on and on and on.

I am very confident that tonight will see all or the lions share of your negativity well and truly dispensed with.

 

[evertonarntwe]

Why can't kenwright just ever keep his mouth shut. He's an embarrassment I'm he

 

[Dooguk]

Farhad Moshiri: “We have a multi-year plan. There will be bumps on the road but the plan is intact and resolutely we go through that plan to achieve. All clubs have money now – four out of five pounds is TV income. So there is plenty of money. There is big investment everywhere so an enormous amount of work is needed just to keep the status quo. To move above that takes extraordinary efforts but it is efforts by me, the Board, recruitment – we should get everything right and can’t make mistakes – and also the fans, to work with us and understand where we are. I put my hand in my pocket, so I am the end of the chain but, after that, the whole process needs to make sure the investment is used rightly. I think we have taken all the steps to make sure we are efficient. We make mistakes, everyone does, and we must learn from our mistakes and avoid them. But no single setback will derail us. We are on the road and we will get there."
