I haven't accepted anything of the sort. I don't believe that LCC's recent actions have been motivated because the current council leaders support Everton. On the contrary I think their concern is in part down to the fact that Kirkby will be attracting new investement that could have been made instead in Liverpool, and that the departure of Everton - a major business, major money earner and a significant employer, will negatively affect other businesses within the city. Not to say in part down to the negative impact the preceding will have on the electorate's perception of the council's performance. Natch, if Everton go, the council loses twice.
And I certainly haven't accepted that the leader of Kirkby council is attempting to lure Everton to Kirkby in order to make Liverpool FC the only club in the city. Frankly that's a very silly suggestion.
On the contrary I think Round makes it very clear that he views the projects stadium purely as commercial venture with the potential to regenerate the run down Kirkby town centre.
What I do accept - albeit from a very long way away and I stand to be corrected if this is not the case - is that until very recently LCC have made little or no effort to try and keep Everton FC within the city boundaries. And, that early informal indications of interest from the club in building a new stadium in Stanley Park were met with the response from LCC that there were legal barriers to building in the park which could not be overcome, which was, as we have later seen, not true.
I'm hoping you'll edit that so I can respond.So lets get this straight you can believe that a councillor who supports Everton will be underhanded in keeping Everton out of Kirkby .Yet A LIVERPOOLS FANS motives are above reproach.You really are a true blue! .I personally think ALL the politicians have their own agenda,The vast majority of people who live in Kirkby in particular the business do not want us there please feel free to check that out. So if this is fact as has been stressed to me who is the Kopite representing? as some one has all ready stated it would be far better if an independent body took the decision.
