Moyes: "we could even look at naming rights for the stadium"

[Elong]

I always thought it had all sorts of mortgages on it ?

When you're 50mil in debt and own a wooden shack, I guess you struggle to claim the moral high ground like.

Sound good, im in.

Lets be honest, stuff like this has absolutely funk all to do with Moyes.

If they're gonna do it, for better or worse, they're gonna do it.

Personally if it means we have an extra 10 or so mill to spend on players I'm game but I can see why some more local and perhaps older fans are not.

 

[West]

I wouldn't mind but we would have to receive in excess of 10 mil per annum before I would consider it tbh. My local stadium subiaco oval in western Australia sold there ****in naming rights for 5 mil Aus dollars for 5 years absolute horse****.

I would only do it if the money was worth it

We notoriously get less money from sponsorship deals than most other clubs, so, how much could we expect per year
for this?

And I doubt that we have a mortgage on the stadium. If we reneged on the payments the lender couldn't foreclose and sell it.

 

[EFCNIK]

Good grief no.

 

[Baines' left foot]

It's a no brainer for me. As fans we begrudge the fact that we always have little money to spend, this could probably generate an extra couple of million a year at least. That could go some way to getting a new player. I can understand people if they are against this but for me it's probably going to have to be done at some point regardless, and at least the club are looking at different ways to make more money.

Pathetic stuff from Moyes. It sounds like he's staying and he's staying on the basis that he knows there will be no injection of investment into the playing squad with new people coming on board.

And the naming of Goodison: it was valued at £1.5M per year a couple of years back.

Nice one. Go out and get Neymar in Davie lad.

well for that obviously we wouldnt but if it was closer to 10m a year we would have to think about it

Most know my feelings on the owners.

I say let the owners change everything and erase all that is left of what we knew as everton football club because i think the fans don,t give a shiny one.

Go on Bill do it, change it all, to prove me right that the fans care about nothing anymore.

 

[GwladysBlue]

What brand would want Goodison Park to represent their brand?! This only works for new stadiums.

 

[Kever10]

Bill bowl

Yeah, and change the name of Park End to Bag End while were at it... Gwladys street could be Galadriel street

Because our owner is a massive dildo

The idea of re-naming Goodison has always been seen as a non-starter in financial terms by this regime. Here's Elstone after the Kirkby Inquiry in 2009:

"There are no magical funding strategies and the Club has not been myopic or unimaginative on funding options; please don't believe that 30-storey, five-star hotels will pay our bills; that we can re-name Goodison Park and raise the £millions generated by a new site; and that we can find 10,000 Evertonians willing to invest £23,000 each (or 100,000 fans and £2,300) to raise the £230m we'd need, on very optimistic estimates, to build an expanded Goodison. Again, not what we might wish to hear but no credible evidence was presented in support of these funding schemes. Not one of these funding options will meet our needs."


...and here we have Moyes today saying that we need to look at naming rights as the way forward.

Completely laughable contradictions from the hierarchy of Everton (of which I include Moyes because he's hand in glove with them).
