    I walked past a child, maybe 3 or 4 years old and her mother yesterday.

    Mother: Well, I don't know that toy, maybe it's an American toy you've seen on Youtube.
    Child: No it's not, it's a toy I made up. I made it up, mum.

    The fact that a kid so young was watching Youtube surprised me.

    In Florida, several people were streaming Madden online (playing the American Football game 'Madden' and broadcasting their match so others could watch over the internet) and were killed when someone shot them. It was broadcast live, two are confirmed dead.

    What is his potential?

    His big weakness is that he doesn’t handle outside pressure very well. There was huge, crazy interest in him: all the clubs called us and his father. Top clubs at that: Arsenal, Celtic. Everton’s Iranian owner contacted me and tried to reach a transfer agreement. Azmoun has millions of fans, incredible amounts of attention – and he couldn’t handle it.

    Neville Southall's been getting stick on Twitter for letting someone who promotes the 'adult baby' fetish use his account. I didn't expect to be typing that.

    He's previously let drug charities, mental health advocates and sex workers use his account.

  17. Stadium Development Director appointed

    Everton has appointed a Stadium Development Director to support the Club’s ambition of delivering a new ground at Bramley-Moore Dock.

    The new role will be filled by Colin Chong, a construction industry specialist with more than 35 years’ experience in the development sector. He has successfully delivered a vast range of large-scale projects and has been involved at a senior-level in stadium redevelopment projects at Old Trafford and the Manchester Commonwealth Games stadium, as well as the build of the DW Stadium. Colin also delivered the build of the Park Stand at Goodison Park in 1994.

    “I feel privileged to have the opportunity to play a key role in the delivery of what will be a great project, not only for Everton Football Club but also for the City of Liverpool,” said Colin.

    “The Club has already done a huge amount of work to get us to our current position, spending millions of pounds to make sure that any scheme we develop is right for the Club and our fans, that the design principles are right and, crucially, that it’s affordable. 

    “This is a long and complex process, but we have put together a well-resourced team of internal staff and consultants to ensure we are able to drive this forward effectively.”

    Colin initially joined Everton from Laing O’Rourke in 2016 as Head of Estates at Goodison Park and has been appointed to this new post following a recruitment process spanning many months.

    Chief Executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale said: “The appointment of Colin as our Stadium Development Director is an important step for us.

    “Whilst we have made progress on our plans for Bramley-Moore Dock - as well legacy plans for the Goodison Park site - there is a lot of detailed and complex work to do to enable our move to happen.

    “The fact that he has had some involvement in the project so far – albeit without being wholly dedicated to it – means he can really hit the ground running with an awareness of what needs to be done next.

    “Colin has extensive experience in delivering stadiums and other large-scale capital projects and, together with our strengthened internal team and a best-in-class team of external advisers, we now have all the resource and expertise we need in place as we move towards the crucial planning phases.

    “A key part of Colin’s remit will be to ensure that we consult fully with all groups on both schemes - including finalising designs and capacity and developing the best possible legacy for Goodison Park - and we are entirely committed to doing this. 

    “I’d like to thank all fans for their support and patience to date and hope that they see this appointment as a positive sign of our ambition to move to Bramley-Moore Dock as soon as we possibly can.”

    Over the course of the next few months, a period of engagement with local residents regarding the legacy for L4 will be undertaken and a project website containing key information about both schemes will be launched.

    The highly billed friendly match between Kenyan champions Gor Mahia against English side Everton is unlikely to be played this year, Nairobi News understands.

    The match was to be played either last month or this month - a period coinciding with the pre-season period for European clubs - at Goodison Park in Liverpool, England.

    The English club had in early June confirmed as much on its official social media pages.

    Giant gaming firm SportPesa, which incidentally is the jersey sponsors for both clubs, are involved in organizing this match. The firm's chief executive Ronald Karauri told to Nairobi News arrangements are ongoing and an announcement will be made soon.

    "We are working with Everton to get the best possible date and will announce in the coming week," Karauri said.
