Council pushing for EFC & LFC as enablers to Open Outer Loop Line

[Inner-city]

LFC are considering staying at Anfield and extending by 15,000. Planning permission and residents may think otherwise.

'Martin Broughton, the chairman conducting the Liverpool sale, said any
buyer would "have to accept" building a new stadium.'
​

mmmmmmmmmm
This LFC staying at Anfield is not cast in concrete.

EFC have to approach the Council, Dep For Transport and LFC about activating the eastern section of the Merseyrail Outer Loop mass-transit line and get both clubs on it. It is suicide to to. LFC & EFC can be the enablers.

Everton have to move to compete at the top - as do LFC. Not to is propelling the club to a 2nd status as the revenues will be poor to Man U and Arsenal. It is no secret, look at the Arsenal model. Here is a web site that highlights the Arsenal success at locating around mass-transit rail stations with easy access to 27 platforms - the city of Liverpool has rapid-transit Merseyrail. Both club's can relocate to anywhere on the mothballed eastern section of the Merseyrail Outer Loop line with their own stations. This prevents nuisance to the surrounding residents and reduces nuisance, polluting car access. Get the fans there easily and in comfort and fast and they turn up. It is no secret and all the ingredients are there ready to use. Not only that the city gets another Merseyrail line for its citizens promoting economic growth.

The city council, and new mayor, are incompetent. It needs many heads being banged together to achieve what is easily done and the obvious thing to do for everyone concerned.

Everton need to be on the line to succeed as club. They need LFC as partners with the Council to get it going.

When RBS in effect installed Martin Broughton as the Liverpool chairman in April 2010 to sell the club, he said explicitly that he would seek new owners who would build that new stadium: "We want to do the right thing for Liverpool and a new stadium is doing the right thing," he said. "It will add long-term value to the club and, if we are looking for a new owner, that is something they will have to accept."​

Henry said the economics of spending around £300m for anew stadium effectively to fund 15,000 new seats did not make financial sense. But £300m spent on a new stadium with mass-transit to the doors does.

I'm not conviced mate. Bus mass transit is a better idea.

Everton 'can't compete without new stadium'

Former Everton chief executive Trevor Birch has said the club will never compete at the very top of the Premier League unless they build a new stadium.

Birch said manager David Moyes was performing "nothing short of a miracle" with limited finances.

He pointed to Everton's £20m matchday revenue over a season compared to Manchester United's £100m.

"He is armed for hand-to-hand conflict and he is competing against armoured artillery", Birch said.

Earlier this month fans who felt Everton were stagnating under chairman Bill Kenwright held a protest march .

Kenwright has often stated his desire to bring new investors into the club and admitted last month that the Toffees could not borrow any more money.

Last year Everton said they were still considering building a new stadium, or redeveloping Goodison Park after plans for a £400m stadium in Kirkby were rejected.
Birch, who is now head of restructuring and insolvency at accountants PKF, told BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek programme: "They simply cannot generate sufficient revenue when Man Utd are earning £3m a game and Everton £500-700k".

"The gulf is just too great for them to compete".

"When someone looks at Everton and says they want to buy [the club] the first thing they have to do is look at building that stadium. A stadium costs £300-£400m. Who is going to make that investment?

"Basically they are buying a club that has incurred losses of £30m over the last five years. So you are not going to make any money and have to build a stadium."
Birch, a former Liverpool player who was also chief executive at Leeds, Chelsea, Derby and Sheffield United, added: "Those clubs with great stability, which Everton have, with the younger players coming through, you could look with enthusiasm to the future.

"But what they won't do is ever compete for the league title again in the short term."
When Birch left Everton is 2004 after a six-week spell in charge it was reported that he perceived a lack of boardroom support for some of his proposals, including looking for new owners.

Polluting, smelly, smoky, noisy, buses are no-transit. Horrid things. Horrid. We need to get them in and out from all over Merseyside quickly and in comfort, en-mass. Unfortunately you have little idea about transport. Read on:

What about a monorail line that has a station inside the club shop? Anything else is just not realistic.

Been a bus driver for 17 years me, how long you been driving trains???

Trains are the devils toys!!

Ah vested interest in keep outdated technology pestering the population. I do not like trains much. But like the way the are smooth and get me around super fast. I hate buses. Horrid things. Not as bad a trams though.

How do you feel about Segways?

Fantastic shop indeed. EFC should get them on the Outer Loop as fellow financial enablers.

That's me in the white jumper going through Stanley Park on the way to the game.

Fantastic! How to look a divi in one easy move. BTW, the inventor of this says his labs have made great strides in improving the Stirling engine. That's if you into the future of course.

 

[Elong]

Didn't the inventor of it ironically die falling off a cliff whilst riding one?

 

[formerly manx toffee]

I have missed Inner-City so much.

just tell us again. How does it work.

oh, and what do you mean, you dont like trains....???

I thought I looked cool. Devastated here. Divi is a bit harsh. That's nearly as bad as reverse racism.

It's a good job the council are all members on here or we'd never convince them about converting the outer loop track to dedicated bus lanes for mass transit to the game.
