Where could Bill turn faced with that headline that a serious party wanted to come in and let him triple/quadruple his original investment?

To me the fact that those stories have not come out smacks that there haven't been any serious parties at the table.[/QUOTE]

That really was my point, if someone failed in a bid, just out of sheer spite for instance, they would somehow let it be known how much they bid and consequently had it refused.
 
Not exactly sure what you're getting at here, but a nice display of pissing up high against the wall, I'm happy for you, really am, but don't confuse me with some interwebs bell, please, I've given you no justification to go down this route.

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!

Could have sworn our place has just been awarded contracts to start investigating in the North Docks.

MJ I know you know your onions, do you think there are any legs in this middle east stuff?

I'm not saying Peel or whoever won't do some prep work - but they sure as hell won't be about to write a cheque for £20 billion any time soon! There is no construction sector in teh UK (or much of anywhere) at the moment.

Anyway, I'm off to get drunk now and dance like an old man.

I beg to differ mate.

Enjoy your ale and dancing, I remember when I used to be able to go for a pint.

magicjuan hasn't suggested that at all. Peel Group are not going to put up £5.5bn cash for Liverpool Waters or another £xbn for Wirral Waters. It's an investment and construction that's going to take 30 years to 40 years... during that time different areas of the zones will be constructed and companies will move in, people will start working there, partners will invest, public funding and new markets will be created.

Correct. And its will be mostly funded by overseas emerging economies.

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.
 
Get a grip of yourselves. Nobody wants to buy us because we have NOTHING to offer!
Anyone buying us would be on a hiding to nothing, there is no future growth to be seen without an unimaginably huge amount of money being spent first, with no guarantee of returns. In fact, we are a potential money pit. Forget about the asking price, even if that was halved, there's still nothing to be gained by buying us.
We are an ugly old prostitute with the clap.
Stop seething for a minute and face the facts. I don't like it either but jumping up and down and calling for >insert name here's< head makes no difference to any of this.
I can't see a way out of this, people don't throw money at clubs anymore. We've missed out on all that, end of.
Without a new ground, we are a sinking ship! and we aint getting a new ground anytime soon!
So keep frothing at the mouth and arguing like drunken old men, there is nothing else to be done.

Anybody with any hope left out there???
