Couldn’t care less what its called as long as we no longer have worries of ten point deductions and can buy players who can actually play football for once.

Could be the Dave’s Ragebait Colosseum for £10m a season and I’d be happy. Getting arsed over “it’s not fashionable enough” is like two ten year olds whining over their Nike and Diadora trainers
Lad, no one’s wearin’ DD trabs now like.
 

"But it's got Dick in the name"....
Well that is part of it for some folk, but for me the full name doesn't exactly roll off the tongue so won't catch on. It's more like a tongue twister so unless it gets shortened in some way that's acceptable to fans it will most likely remain a straight forward Bramley Moore.
 

Instead of a faceless multinational meaningless naming right such as Toyota or Microsoft, we actually have what I consider to be a thoughtful tie to the city of Liverpool. A law firm deeply associated with the waterfront and all the growth of the city. It predates Goodison. It’s seen it all. It’s been there through kings and queens, world wars. It sounds British. It brings in solid revenue.

But because the beginning of this stadium exists at a time of phones and immediate reaction and communication, everyone can jump on it and say they love it, hate it, and everything in between.

What if Everton Football Club and The Friedkin Group announced the naming rights to our stadium and instead of a company it was a person? Can you imagine? A single person getting that honour? Really? For a hundred years? Not even considerate enough to name it after Everton or maybe Liverpool itself? And then the club and owner told you this guy was a local landowner. Oh, also an engineer who provided sewage reports to the Walton Local Board. Sewage reports? Wait until the RS hear about that? We’ll be mocked forever. We should start a thread in here and see people lose their minds about that decision. Can you imagine that name sticking around?
 
That rumour is 100% not true. We will only get paid 10 million if we are in the Champions league and we have a flying unicorn.

Predates St Domingo's by 68 years. Before Everton was Everton fc. So predates Everton by 69 years. :- Predates Goodison by 82 years.
