SC won't stop being viable - the council can't get rid of it, it's like Father Jack festering in the corner. But the money involved getting this far with BM means the club are heavily invested in it. It would take a major, project-ended event for us to walk away now.

And of course it's time bound, of which I'm sure the club are aware, but they'd very easily point to the lack of other suitors if Peel ask us to get a move on.

The bold bit is exactly my point as to why I'm confused this is getting out now.

This is a club where exactly what you've just described happened to Destination Kirkby and King's Dock. I'd have thought we'd have learned.

I'd have understood it if we had to get this info out for some reason, but I can't see any reason why we would.

So my question is simply this - why isn't the exclusivity period covered by an NDA, which is standard procedure, and the work continues in the background to get everything in place; then announce the whole thing?

 

[miff]

nothing from Everton though.

Seriously, why 5pm and where has that come from?
Could it be that this was the announcement?

 

[chewee]

Why would anyone do an announcement at 5pm?
Makes not sense at all........think that's a bit of a red herring.
I think we've had what we're getting for today.
A little underwhelming but positive

There is a 5pm announcement. Joe Anderson is briefing movers and shakers at the council not in the loop this afternoon before going public.

Can see Bill now, spade in hand, that wry grin and 'I told you to watch this space' before riding off along the banks of the royal blue Mersey on a Unicorn, never to be seen again.

Imagine being straddled by Bill, RIP Unicorn.

[barneygumble]

Can we name it 'The Arteta Money Arena' ?

I think 'The Arteta Money Fortress", has a somewhat nostalgic twist which could make it even better

 

[tommye]

That's it Thomas

Things must be 'kin bleak if Happy Chops is the voice of reason.


Stop the world. I wanna get off.

It's not looking for negatives; it's just confusion.

It's akin to this

ME: Hi mate, can I buy that PS4?
YOU: Yeah, £100 alright?
ME: Sound, can I buy it once I've bought the games for it?
YOU: Yeah I'll wait here.
ME: Nice one, back in a few years.

... that just doesn't seem like news to me!

For me, I'd have kept this quiet (easily done via NDA's by all parties) and announced when stadium funds are in place the whole thing.

Maybe that'll still happen today, but if not it's just underwhelming because nothing has actually happened of substance.

More like this

Me : Hi mate, I was thinking about buying that PS4 or a old shoe with a bit of poo on it but I can't decide.
You : Ok
Me : Right Ive decided I want the PS4, can I give you the cash after I have been the post office to cash me giro?
You : Sound

 

[miff]

Why wouldn't they ?

You have all day to announce something quite important and you leave it till 5pm in the evening?..........why?

I know mate there is a long way to go, but i cant see them making announcements and buying land without them doing their homework about financing/funding etc.... This will already be in place..

Because the council meeting is still sitting
