Tick rock, tick tock.



Time is running out Mr kenwright

 

[Groucho]

This just seems like negativity-pedalling to me.

 

[BlueThai]

Can someone explain to me the reason why we cant build a new stadium on the site of Goodison?

There's no space for a Tesco's

 

[Muzumbu]

why are they lying about the new stadium?

 

[Barkley85]

My theory is that Kenwright doesn't want to sell and wants to stay on at the club, and I think he is a puppet master in using the cant be arsed attittudes of the other members like earle, woods and granchester to serve his own ends, by that I mean convince them all they will make a much bigger profit if they wait til EFC is in a shiny new stadium, that way Kenwright can keep hold of power for as long as possible whilst convincing the other board members to not sell prematurely until they get a new stadium. I don't personally think Kenwright is arsed about money or a puppet of Philip Green etc. I think he just doesn't wanna let go of the trainset.

New stadium, money for players. I'm watching this space bill.

I'm regularly pressing F5 on the LCC website to see if the planning application has been submitted.

From "we've got a site lined up and a partner that can't be named" to "it's Walton Hall Park, the partner is LCC, we need to provide £30m up front and LCC aren't even going to fund it".

Still, if all we need to provide is £30m for a new ground, that's a bargain isn't it?

Relatively speaking, anyway. How much did Arsenal have to pay?

I'll have a whip round.

But seriously, it's a huge bargain. I don't get every figure, but so far as I can tell and including the debt it put on the club, the Emirates seems to have cost Arsenal around £260M before interest.

That's what I mean. It's about 85% off the 'market price'.

 

[The Esk]

The Emirates cost £390 million in total, originally funded by bank debt of £260 million. Arsenal then replaced the bank debt with two 25 year bonds.

Is that 30 million "ring fenced", heard this before somewhere....
