Presumably the idea is to pay it off over 20-30 years, kicking the problem down the road. The covid impact on building materials can not have helped them.

Ultimately, Goodison is one of the lowest generators of matchday revenue in the PL despite the average being 39k, also the capacity. Having a new ground is there to generate money.

The current ground can't be that great for attracting new players either. If a player is being courted by a few clubs, Goodison is not sealing the deal for you.

Yes I see that
But most Buisnesses think 10 years ahead with an outlay like that.

I'm most surprised at Burnley. Usually one of the promoted teams comes up and does well first season, and I had my eye on them given that they smashed the Championship playing good football. However they've just looked pretty naive so far. Luton and Sheffield I didn't expect anything from really.

I saw them last season and didn't think they were anything special. The Championship was a poor league and they won it by miles mostly to the lack of quality, rather than being a brilliant side. The fact Luton and Sheffield Utd went up adds further weight to that! They certainly play better football than those two but lack the quality to it in a higher league. Dyche to end up back there when he gets sacked by Everton in a month or so? 👀

I would love a Burnley Dyche reunion to be honest. They've had such an overhaul though he'd probably only be familiar with 5 or 6 of the players.

Would you really expect them to get anything out of City, Villa or Spurs?

Maybe, once they get a run against some lesser teams, they may show something.

Whilst you don't expect them to get much from them but you do expect them to not be so naive against spurs . Playing a high line? It was suicide ..made it so easy for spurs
 
Well, as a Champions League "debut" I'll take a nil nil away at the San Siro.

Not at our best and creatively lacking, defensively magnificent in many regards whilst at the same time as being defensively somewhat naïve and gifting possession away in the center of the field....which lead to most of Milan's chances, and they will rue greatly not putting the ball past Pope who frankly was a bit of a magnet for the football.

Isak sadly looked lost for much of the 2nd half, even more so when he was pushed out to the left after the substitutions were made. Burn is going to be badly exposed against the best that Europe has to offer. Still....an experience that the team and staff can learn from now they've got the difficult first game out of the way.

Think the biggest credit In their favour is that the 3 teams that have come up look awful

Burnley play good football but with very little end product,sort that and they'd be mid table.

Sheff utd look well organised and have players who stick together and have a go.

Luton look miles away from a PL team

Everton look no better than Burnley/sheff utd.

If Everton’s finances were that bad why did they go ahead with a new stadium?

Its a vicious circle, Speculate to accumulate. With a new stadium they'll quadruple their matchday revenue.

That stadium is going to be superb.
