You've said that a group of serious global players were looking at Everton as part of a massive regeneration project in 2011 - with the development a major factor. I'm saying there's no way such parties would come forward for that reason. Anyone wanting to develop/invest in real estate has the world at its feet and won't choose to park up in L4.
You've said Peel Holdings are about to do a £20 billion+ development in Liverpool/Wirral. I'm saying that's complete cloud cuckoo land. You could load up all development projects in Europe into a wheelbarrow for that cash. I doubt there's a single speculative regional development project in the UK at the minute with a value of £50m+ let alone something 40 times that figure!
If, if, I so desired to I could list here the names of attendees, including the Indian development minister at the time who were here in this city for a minimum of 2 visits over a number of days. If, if, I wanted to I could list all interested parties, regional and national uk, as well as international corporate involvement that included the US, INDIA and the far east, Shanghai to be specific.
This list of attendees would display to a greater extent how serious the discussions were and what level of support the uk government gave..
Now, wether you believe there is 'no way' this happened is of no real concern to me, I'm not telling you about Roswell here, this has all been verified by other agencies. I am past proving this.
As for the peel stuff, I said they have local and national planning permission, nothing else. Not many thought L1 would be built for the same reasons you give now.
