Everton going it alone with BMD, the Legacy Project and L4 regeneration ?

[jinkyali]

Everyone gave it support after the first consultation - businesses, councillors, etc...

Again, let's praise properly the project when it does instead of trying to emulate our neighbours.

LFC CEO has welcomed it mate. That is what I am referring to by mentioning LFC. Nowt else.

Missed that one then. My bad.

 

[Goat]

If he is he is putting himself out the running on a daily basis with his inconsistent, ill timed and damn right unimaginative ramblings..

Sadly he thinks hes coming across as an expert on everything.

Its a special kind of delusion, I should know, I have it.

Yet again causing unnecessary pessimism, they had the councils financial programme but have instead opted to negotiate with private financial firms which are strictly confidential.

Do you know what a NDA is Dave?

Can't wait for you and Esk to get a massive slap when finance is declared and you both find another way to build on your weird personal issue with the most progressive regime we've had in decades.

Then again you'll find another way to criticise them, my money is on the finance we've obtained, which like our current way of operating with debt the same as every single other club.

You're dismissing concerns with an "it'll be alright on the night" line.

It may well be funds are in hand. But it's perfectly reasonable to pose the questions if this is doing so much for the regeneration of the city why isn't closer order being taken in selling this scheme?

If we cant afford the stadium, then we shouldnt build it.

I honestly dont see what the problem is here.

I'm with you on that.

I am actually confused what he means by other people need to help bring the project forward.. does he mean the whole north liverpool development? Does he mean our stadium?

If he means the north liverpool development isn't that what Peel have been doing?

If he means our stadium isn't that what we have been doing?

Weird article.

Get yourself off to the month long roadshow at the 2nd consultation and find out.

And yet having announced the Legacy Project months and months ago, there's no indication of anybody else yet having stepped up to the plate to get behind the club in its endeavours.

That he knows of.
With the greatest of respect to both you and him he's chatting absolute wham

 

[Billysgingham.]

Esk asks where are peel holdings, LFC, other mp's aside from big Joe in all this...

MP's literally tweeted days ago.
Peoples project has peel holdings, liverpool waters, LFC, EPL all offering support..

Weird.

Its like he is touting for a job.

Yes mate he thinks he is the dogs bollox, but to be honest he's a bit of a tit.

 

[tmgc]

why doesnt he just come on and post it himself?

He's busy organising some paint for Chuck Norris and Jackie Chan.

Thats the mans problem.
He wants to know much more but doesnt.

Stung by his 'source' throwing him under the bus ala Mata/Witsel..?

I think Esk makes fair points in the article.

Being caught up in the excitement of Thursday, in retrospect the lack of presence and endorsement from stakeholders was / is a cause for concern.

The club has done far better than I expected in terms of the public presentation of this to date and the overall branding of this within the "People's Project" is clever marketing. They clearly must have on-boarded professional consultancy for this which is what I wanted them to do.

Perhaps we will see and demand more engagement and commitments over time but we are a football club and not a regenerative agency and whilst there is always going to be an element of spin from the club in stating the long term non football benefits of BMD, we have shown time and again our understanding of honouring the legacy of GP on one hand and arguably being the leading club in terms of community support and engagement and that is something that needs to be taken seriously by public bodies and politicians in particular.

I think personally its insulting to DBB that Esk questions if we have the right capabilities at board level. If anyone is going to know there way around dealing with agencies, community support, public bodies etc its her. She has transformed EITC and is very well respected. Its probably why she got the job.

Her football club knowledge may be lacking but in terms of running the regeneration etc, there is likely to be far worse candidates.
