Radical way to fund a new stadium.

[roydo]

This is not as daft as it might sound lads.

Take a figure of £200m to get a great stadium. Leased to Eberton, but owned by the fans.

No one needs to stump up any cash.

A pension fund worth £20k is, in pension terms, pretty worthless. Like £1000 per year in income.

10000 of them gets you £200m. So we try and get £200m of pension funds together to buy and own the stadium. The investment return would be mince, but the upside to the club is massive.

No building costs for any new investor, security to the club, a degree of fan ownership kind of.

And I know what I am talking about with pensions.

Football investments talk to me

I'd trust Bill and Phil with my pension, no problem!

Never realised you were that old mate.

Overseas pensions do they count? If so, I'm in.

 

[Woolly Blue]

Good idea, throw a carefully wrapped mug in for free and I'm in.

Pension funds held in SIPPS can be used for commercial property investments.

However it would need to be a proper commercial arrangement with a proper ROI for investors.

So for a £200m stadium to give a 5% return there would need to be £10m a year return.

£10m is more than the club would make in additional profit so it would be a non-starter for a football only stadium.

However if you are talking about a city centre / docklands project that was a 365 day a year usage arena then it would be worth considering.

Sit in a seat in the street holding a big issue with a sign stating " NEW STADIUM NEEDED PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY ' that should do the trick.



if you have a dog on a string for effect mores the better

Or every everton fan who attends a home game could pay £5,405 each

Add a hotel and a hall fame to the project and you may have your ROI.

If everyone who likes our page on facebook paid £188.35 each that would cover the cost.

I would actually stump that up... as there really isn't much I can do from the land of convicts apart from buying kits and merch

Probably more reliable than the stocks in my retirement fund.
