I know this has been around for a while now but Everton submitting plans for a new ground again https://www.skysports.com/football/...ning-submission-for-bramley-moore-dock-ground

Given the state of the club, especially PL form, is this the right time and shouldn't funds for players be more important than a new stadium?

The owner has given funds for players, not his fault if they are buying duffers. I can only assume you have not been to Goodison. No corporate boxes at all, no corporate facilities in the ground, 39k capacity, much with obstructed views, poor facilities for the fans. If we want to impress a player / manager to come to join us and take them around there is only so much talk of history that you can do before they start to see the dated ground in front of them. I love it but it is not fit for purpose. We need the ground, facilites etc.

I have been there, many moons ago. I get what you're saying but what happens if (and a big if as I think there are far worse clubs in the PL) you get relegated. How does a new stadium build fit in then

I would imagine it gets put on hold. The stadium is part of a redevelopment of a section of Liverpool so it is not purely about a stadium but without PL money it doesn't happen. We can keep putting money into players but somehow we need to balance the need for players and the need to update. I suspect it is only us and your mob who have antiquated stadiums and at some point that has to change. Others have done it, we need to join them. Clearly, getting the balance right is tricky but it is the right path to take.

We are already working on the riverside stand to increase capacity. With the Johnny Haynes stand we're hamstrung with its listed status and not much we can do. Same with the cottage. To be honest I don't think we'll need a massive stadium even if we get back up.
 
Really confused about the talk about Pep having a break clause in his contract. That information can only really have come from one of 2 places, the club or the manager. So am I reading too much into it or is it City putting this out there to attract some interest and allow a change without a pay off in the summer or is it Pep putting out a 'come and get me' statement. May be neither but with players, details of a buy out clause etc only really hit the press when one side or the other wants out.

Perhaps with Klopp extending to at least 2024 he's decided he's had enough, and time to return to Barca?
 
Hey hey...Milner signed extension as well:)
Looks like progression succession being built in there, what with Gerrard signing his extension to 2024 as well;)

I actually don't think he's ever going to be on the list. Of all the out there mangers, his style is so far away from Arsenal's DNA

as someone who went home and away during the George Graham era some of us still bear the scars lol

eternally grateful for how much that changed under Wenger (and Dein), sadly that era dragged out a bit too long and left an uphill battle for the followers which is not going to be resolved overnight or by one managerial appt
