That's next summer's transfer kitty minus debt interest repayments right there.

Just reading the comments to that article;

Kirkby plan proposed - Bellefield rejected, Kirkby plan refused - Bellefield approved. Coincidence???

Not just me then...

Not really though. As the article states, the Lib Dem councillors remained consistent and voted it down on both occasions. As far as the Labour councillors are concerned, Joe Anderson reaction when it was rejected first time around was "that the decision was symptomatic of the "breakdown in trust" between the club and the council. Had there been more dialogue, Everton FC would have achieved planning permission." So for Labour to vote for it now it means that the club dropped their snotty cavalier attitude to the council before the Kirkby verdict (when they thought Kirkby was in the bag and Knowsley were their new authority) and started a sensible dialogue with the council.

Fuck LCC i hate them.

Due to work, I've had about 3 different meetings & dealings with Joe Anderson. So i know him a fair bit. And i'd like to say.....

He's a fat lying t**t. So take no notice to anything he says.

I think you'll find Matt's just tapped his nose. That's good enough for me.

So the Libdems do not want us to stay in the city and the Bellefield nimbys moaning because they wanted to keep an open space behind them. Can you believe this lot? The club is struggling with it's finances and really should be getting more support from the city and it's citizens.

Sometimes Davek you talk real [Poor language removed]. So its all the clubs fault eh. Those wonderful liberals were being apolitical in opposing planning permission? How dumb do you think people are on this forum? Everton's attitude certainly ddidn't help the situation but when a Liberal Councilllor makes the kind of statement that he makes in the article and you say nothing, it says more about your continued vendetta against the current custodians of Everton than it does about the actual decision itself.

So, who picks up the bill for the site lying derelict for two+ years?
Let me guess, this is a nod because it will "stimulate the local businesses, provide jobs, and Liverpool has a cronick housing shortage (besides the thousands boarded up with STEEL because of the crime and the junkies)"

Great the club finally got the green light to make a few pennies, but what is it in real terms?

Thats ridiculous to be honest, surely votes should be cast objectively and without biased on the issue at hand rather then be prejeduced by other matters. Not surprised typical LCC.

The estimated value of the orignal plan for the sie was 10 mill after two years its 8 mill - I really do dislike LCC.

There is MUCH to blame LCC for.

However the housing bubble and crash is not one of them.

But their ridiculous allowance of the RS to build on Stanley Park whilst we've had rejections at every turn is certainly something to blame them for.

I was listening to Radio City on the way home last night. Ian 'the bellend' Ross was on saying that none of the money will go to David Moyes for buying players. That it is ear marked for the running of the club as......

"The day to day running of a football club is very expensive"

So players wages and the new build thingy.

There is a massive black hole in Goodison that money just disapears into.

And i dont mean Distin or Yakubu.....
