You think they're bad cabbies! When in Ukraine at the start of the season for the Metalist game the taxi's from the square to our hotel ranged anywhere from 20 to 200 Ukranian coins an on one trip the taxi driver (who's window screen had bullet holes in !!) pulled out a 9mm, put it to his head an started saying "you take photo souvenir". That place was an experience an a half!!

I'll go with that lad, Cahill is an important and passionate member of the current squad but god forbid we lost Moyes or a few key players I don't think he'd be the kind to stick it out for the love of the blues either.

Welcome aboard mucker

Cruel is him actrually claiming he was up to the job when he signed a contract worth thousands of pounds per week!

I'd share a stadium with red seats, called Anfield over the Kirkby option!!

I've seen him speak at a dinner I believe, RIP Another blue to join Dixie's team of superstars.

I showed the new lad in our work the VDM videos on youtube an he couldnt believe it was the same player, neither can I and I lived in hope for so long What odds on a heavily injured Everton squad dragging it's arse up the M62 for the UEFA final an VDM single handedly winning it for us Bill?? As for the game I hope we go for it cos Everton in defensive mode scare the life outa me

Thats a decent round up of how I feel, the long game has worked wonders so far but largly down to Moyes IMO. For the future we have to decide if we stick with the current long game and risk fustration from fans, players & inevitably manager or we build. I believe now is the time where we must take the 15mil pushing 20mil spending limit and make it 30mil+ or Villa and City at least will leave us behind next season. Kenwright has been the present for so long its now time to look to the future, you can say the grass is always greener but the reality is Kenwright can not afford to take us any further. Whatever hapens I'm enjoying being blue!

He's just saying if we make it Davey will get the tv money. Probs on the date they dish it out 2 days before the window shuts or sumat! Davey's right tho we need money to spend even if we balnce the books with sales we still need money availabe to tie up the deals we need or want quickly.

Appy birfdee mucker

Notice even with talk of Kirkby there has apparently been no interest from investors. I wonder if some will be attracted with planning permision should it be granted? How much more interest do you think would be generated with a Liverpool City centre planning application granted?

For anyone unlucky enough not to be there is was special watching grown men (our players) run round like little kids shouting to the rest of the players, "get out here and see this, they're amazing" whilst thousands of Evertonians filled the street and sang their hearts out.

We don't get very little out of it we get what everyone gets when they build a new stadium that's the point regarding the stadium, we get less out of this than both Knowsley & Tesco so it begs the question why not go another hundred million in debt and go it alone?

Great shout that lad

You wanna pay it for him??

Ever considered the 35mil is the initial investement?? I cant find the press releases but hows this? After explaining what Tesco is contributing to the project, a specific stadium cost of £110M is finally mentioned in Terry Leahy’s open letter, this is later confirmed by Keith Wynes as the true net cost of the stadium. Keith Wyness is confident, some would say over confident, that the sale of Goodison, £15M, and naming rights, minimum £25M, will raise a combined £40M in contribution towards that cost, this leaves a figure of £70M which needs to be accounted for through a combination of vague “discounts” and some unspecified long term debt taken on by Everton. Perhaps Barr’s new owners (sold in June 2007, a fact conveniently omitted) wont want to build a stadium for nothing. They are, remember, a business who operate in a low margin industry and whose profits are measured in single million figures. If this all adds up to you then good luck but it doesnt add up to me. Also the mention of naming rights above also highlights the fact that KW plans to spend a large part of our "increased revenue stream" up front on the actual stadium leaving no money for players and the like which was the purpose of the move in the first place. Anyway back on topic, this confusion is one of the jewels in Kenwright's crown. I think not!!

The stadium cost is 150mil like it states in your post, this has now risen to 200mil. Tesco have confirmed they will be paying 50mil Tesco have confirmed Everton will be paying 35mil where does the other 65mil come from? Or 115mil if you go on the current figures??

I cant be arsed finding the quote but the same bloke has confirmed Tesco will be paying 50mil only so by your sums when we start digging in Kirkby we need to dig up 115mil in order to have enough cash for the stad. Yes I know it doesnt make sense thats why we are questioning, not because we dont want this but because there are contradictions in ever release of info so which is correct? The safe option is to demand the truth not sit back and praise Kenwright!

Just to clarify something mate, You didnt know we sold Finch Farm & You dont know the details of what the stadium is projected to cost but you still defend these people and claim Kenwright / Kirkby is the answer to our prayers? They are spoon feeding you information in the hope that you wont question it and by the looks of things you havent!

Your being blinded by propeganda Carl the stadium will cost 200mil so with Tesco's 50mil in the pot we will need to find 150mil.

I'll not go into this in this thread but Kenwright has offered nothing to believe, everything has already changed from what was initially said and we havent even got planning permission yet!

Cheers Bill

I'm in agreement with that mate and one of my biggest fears is that we move to Kirkby in the search for investement and when it comes they turn around and say, "I'd have never moved you out the city". We are on the right track to progress both on the field and in attracting investement so why the rush for the stadium move right now it's proberbly the least important time in the last 10 years to be making this step. I belive we can attract investement with our on the pitch actions over the comming seasons and when that happens we are going to be in a position of power in our stadium move rather than being the sideshow to the Tesco Circus! Playing the long game has given us what we have today (that is something Kenwright deserves credit for!) so lets continue with the slow & steady in all areas and we will end up better off in the end!

I'd rather understand the concept of differing opinions than be worried about using correct grammar, spelling and punctuation on an internet forum

And you say your not 10?
