Must be boss to have a) someone with money; and b ) a council that helps a football club.

Liverpool Council have offered Everton plenty of help over the years. Plenty.

If these guys get promoted and spend big again with redknapp in charge they really do have a chance of pushing for the top 6/7 considering they already have the likes of Remy on their books, I just hope it goes tits up for them cant stand ****ty little no mark club hitting the jackpot and paying silly money out. Hopefully Kenwright sods off in the not too distant future as with RM we really do have a team capable of winning things just need that extra money to bring in your lukaku's/dels on permanent deals

qpr havent got 40k fans

 

[Rook]

Plenty of clubs have offered plans, that doesn't mean its getting built.

Wait, this isn't where Everton are playing?

 

[TheFinnFan]

Good for them.

We'll get ours too, eventually.

That pic looks pretty cool. Quite steap ends, like it.

 

[davidloach]

Looks like that'll end up being a dreadful corner kick though

 

[lmurkder]

They have to sell their existing ground which due to ridiculous prices in London is worth quite a bit.

What I object to is yet more tax payers money being spent on london. The had cross rail the Olympics. Now this.

They should be regenerating other cities not just london all the time

Looking forward to the 2026-7 season then, for that is the planned date for the stadium.

In the meantime Fernandes and co will seek planning permission for Loftus Road and sell the club. That has always been their end game.

Another club ripped away from its traditional base for the benefit of property developers.

Loftus Road is a terrible stadium.

But somehow I quite like it!

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I didn't enjoy Loftus Road as much as you Ijjy

This could be a positive for QPR

 

[Kurt.]

Money men are ripping the heart and tradition out of football.... Is not sport anymore at the top level, it's business.

 

[Simon Smith]

I use to go to school in Stevenage and was told that when it was first built as a "New town" (in the 60's) QPR had the chance to move there with a ready made fan base for them but they turned it down due to their history at Loftus Road.
How times change! when you got an owner with cash to burn!!

Oh it's horrible mate.

But it's an old school stadium, and soon enough there won't be any left.

Except Goodison of course. We'll be playing there forever.
