New CEO Elstone Speaks.....

WYNESS OUT!!!!

Which would cost more than we're paying for Kirkby.

Nowhere has that been demonstrated, it certainly wouldn't incur the upfront and continuing levies being imposed by KMBC for traffic and parking management and the like. It would also have the benefit of being able to be scheduled on a piecemeal basis, you do a little, let it earn you some cash, do a little more etc etc... the out-turn being that your risk and debt exposure is far lower.

It's just more complicated, which is the main reason it hasn't been attempted.

Point to note:

There have been a few option studies now which demonstrate the feasibility of redevelopment, not one made public that demonstrates that it is impossible / impractical. (just in case anyone was going to suggest otherwise)

 

[gordonjblair]

Well you can blame Wyness on that score, because for the past two years he's done nothing but DK.

It's not a matter of blame, we'll all be going to Kirkby if it happens, blaming someone won't make any difference

Well would it make a difference if we were building on Stanley Park?

And by the time we've finished our piecemeal tart up of Goodison, the football world will pass us by and Evertonians like you will be demanding success and questioning why we don't have it.

A modern ground is part of that success. No businessperson has ever purchased a club in the top flight (except the clowns across the road, and see what has happened to them) having as their prime purpose the building of a stadia. A stadia comes before more substantive investment.

A site within the city boundaries (because that's the main reason for rejection, even though the new stadia is only 500 yards from the boundary) would costs us considerably more, money that we don't have.

We can't afford to wait for the never never gravy train of LCC and their endless, pointless Council resolutions to help, and then sit on their greedy fat red arses.

Its really not rocket science.

Whats all this about a new stadium?

Can someone open a thread like!

Nick, come on, it might make marginally more cash, but enough to service the debt incurred and move the club up a level? the extra £10M pa quote by KW before the trading restrictions were announced constitutes a 20% turnover uplift across the board, (without taking into account additional running costs that the extra facilities would incur). It's a fair question to ask 'Did your prediction take these apparently new restrictions into account, do the numbers still make sense?'

The numbers, for me, aren't sufficiently compelling to make the move... and sadly, the more information that comes out, the less compelling the arguement gets.

Spot on I cant understand how so many people just accept that its worth the move for what if any will be a pittance.Its not because its in Kirkby its because its a really bad deal. that I dont likie it.

portsmouth seem to have attracted new owners who are prepard to invest in the club & build a new stadium, even though fratton park is the worst & probably smallest ground in the top flight.

furthermore, your post actually shows why you should be against the kirkby proposal : it's just not going to generate the additional profit needed to boost moyes squad - & that's based on the clubs own estimate.
