I think the stadium plans are further down the line than people are really aware, the architect(Dan Meis) has already been given the gig from what I can gather.
I don't really care for the Comenwealth Games, I don't want the stadium to have any outside influences and I definitely don't want a bowl type stadium. It needs to be a purpose built stadium with Everton's needs at the top of the agenda.

The only way that the needs of Everton are top of the agenda is if they are paying for the stadium nuts and bolts

If a stadium is being funded by the council to help host the commonwealth games then that's what is the priority

I seem to remember Anderson and LPool FC announcing a 200 Mil regeneration project around Anfield or does that not count? ;)

The Anfield area was left to rot for numerous years Anderson and his cronies, I'd like to know where the £200m was spent, because most of the new homes that have been built in and around the stadium certainly aren't social housing.

Backhanders aots.

Rashford just made Cahill look like a Sunday league footballer with that run but has to score at the end of it. Poor attempt at the finish.

But he's still young and last season was the breakthrough season wasn't it? I think as he gets better and confidence grows (ideally playing regularly) he'll turn into a good finisher on top of what else he has. To be fair he has already scored some good goals in his young career. I like him and think he could be good for England going forward too

The Club owned most of the houses that were left to rot as part of its expansion plan.
Part of the proposed 200 mil included areas around the ground concourse and club shop didn't it?

Have Everton got the funding in place to not have to rely on outside influences?
Well the stadium is the new owners main priority and has been since the day he took over, that was before any talk of the Commonwealth games.
I don't want our stadium to be funded by any council or Goverment grants just as much as the next council tax paying member of the city.

I was at anfield two weeks ago. There is no way £200m has been spent there. Not possible. I know the area around Goodison is not great so this isn't a pop. It just looked run down still.

To be fair to the council they passed the Stanley park development for Liverpool, you just chose not to go with it due to dodgy owners.

Do Everton own Goodison Park outright? If they do, is there the opportunity for the club to say if the council build them a new stadium then Everton will give the council Goodison Park for them to build houses on?

The houses behind the main stand you're right the club did own them but the council let them run those streets into the ground. There were plenty more that the council left to rot behind the park pub going up as far as breckfield rd north.

Have you been to Goodison? My grandparents used to live nearby. You won't get much for land there. Not a great deal for the council to be fair.

We're not asking for help, as said the plans have been going on for a while, now that the Commonwealth Games has raised it's head they are looking at options and obviously if we did get the games we don't currently have a suitable stadium for athletics si it coukd be a case of the City getting a stadium for it on the cheap, also Everton would get it cheaper than going on their own, plus would benefit from supporting infrastructure, but even without the Commonwealth games, Everton are planning a new stadium.

You know what I was just thinking how much did Chelsea pay for Hazard coz he is a steal compared to what was paid for Pogba.

I'm pleased someone mentioned Pogba. I'd forgotten he was on the pitch. I'm sure he will improve next year but this year he really hasn't shown much. Disappointing.

I know in the past it was difficult to get anyone to take responsibility for the whole area and everyone blamed everyone else and the area nose dived.

For the price paid he should be standing out in games.
He's looked bang average when ever I've seen him play.
And his tackling & marking is shocking.

i cannot understand how you can think like that in any way shape or form. Why? Coz if you went to Citehs ground you would understand why. It is world class. That was once a commonwealth games stadium, and was bowl type. But you would never know it now.
Again I am struggling with summat here, Evertons needs should be top of the agenda, eh the council are paying for summat, primarily a commonwealth games venue but Everton should be top of the agenda. The games will be for the people of Liverpool and the U.K. Not for Everton FC, but should they occupy the stadium after the games I am sure it will be a lot better than the stadium they have at the moment, and a hell of a lot better than that dump that West Ham occupy. I am sure lessons will have been learned from that.
everton, like City and West Ham will come out of it with a stonking deal. The only differance is that City council house is better than West hams.
