Is there still going to be a "debate" after last week's "bombshell"?
Time to change the thread title, or close this latest disappointing chapter.

I think inserting the word not would do it justice

We would have the only Board in international football to "not announce" any debate. Debacle.

Exactly. I thought there was a certain panache to it, lacing the title itself with a cutting undertone as it were

Absolute embarrassment. Yet again. And again.

Looking through the past couple of pages, I see a lot of posts about how poor we are at marketing the club overseas. One major change I have noticed in Australia in the past few years is that there a lot more kids are now supporting Real, Barca, PSG, Muchich etc rather than just the English teams.
Everton are now not just competing with other English clubs for market share, but also with the European giants.

So, what type of marketing campaign could possibly encourage those young fans to turn away from Ronaldo, Messi, Zlatan etc and support Everton?

That's because the Champions League is quickly turning into the European super league that UEFA wants.

Nothing is the answer. Kids are glory hunters.

Is that the bombshell announcement that people are talking about?

I think there's a lot of brinkmanship going on about who's going to pay for it. The council know it will be great for them. Everton know it will be great for them. Neither wants to pay but both want to take the credit.

Typical public/private sector maneuvering. I think it will take place. I think Kirby would have happened if the city council didn't prevent it and frankly because they did this project would have been in the works since then.

The council don't have the money for it and everton are expecting someone else to pay for it. Its going nowhere

If only we had 3 or 4 millionaire major shareholders who were willing to invest some money into the club to justify the massive returns they will be expecting when they finally sell up, after buying the club for peanuts. Imagine

It's worth a lot to the council as well. The regeneration of the area, jobs and lets face it if the board don't get their way they will be looking to take the club where someone will pay them.

They don't necessarily need to pay for it but they could enable the club to get favorable interest terms which is what I suspect this announcement was about.

The councils simply don't have the money, they already bailed us out with finch farm

Whilst I agree that the CL has taken centre stage over the years, the format has remained largely the same, barring that daft 2nd group stage business. It has not, and I doubt ever will, become the European Super League.

They don't need to actually have the money. I said they could arrange favorable interest rates. Lending 100m to a football club is risky, lending it to government is a lot less risky, or they could allow the individual who invests to make it a tax write-off or give tax-breaks to the club for the future. Governments can find money when they need to through various different methods.
