    Makis got a reaction from StevO in Blue Bill's shiny new stadium at the docks...   
    The bigger the stadium, the more the extra seats tend to cost (structural requirements alone grow).
    5k seats @ £330 is £1,650,000 per year. The stadium will cost in the region of half a billion pounds, so financially 5000 extra seats won't make a difference to club's finances. It would increase the risk that income is lower, though, because those seats will have to be paid whether someone sits on them or not. And this payment will go on for decades. Way beyond the current owners or their successors. Many of us will be long dead and still the club will be paying for the stadium. 
    Whether the stadium has 55k or 60k has absolutely no effect on the sponsorship deals. The only thing that matters in that case is how well the team does on the pitch. Two million extra per year will not help (and remember, this assumes every game is sold out) when you consider our revenue is over 150 million already, and will be, IIRC, about 180 million with the new TV deal. You can pay wages for a reserve with that (£40kpw).
    The real money in the stadium comes from corporate boxes on matchdays unless the club raises ticket prices. I think that would have a detrimental effect, though. Overseas fans would be also good as they buy more merchandise but the number of Everton overseas fans is dwarfed by the bigger clubs. So this won't help either, unless the club first becomes very successful and stays like that for a decade at least.
    To me this all "we want this big stadium" is more about wanting a bigger one than the neighbours which is just stupid. Stadium size should be based on facts and figures because that's the only way to actually build a stadium that benefits the club.

    Not sure who she is, though. 
    As for capacity, 5k doesn't really produce that much more revenue when you factor in increased costs. And that's assuming every match is sold out.

    So you could fit a 100,000 seater on that site but it's not big enough?

    So by replacing Goodison Park with a new, bigger stadium in a better place instead of copying Spurs we turn into Tranmere? That's the level of logic Burns is capable of.

    It's John Burns you are talking to. Just a friendly reminder.

    If Conte is staying we should seriously consider contacing Sarri. His other choice is apparently Zenit.

    IMO, it would be better to keep him for one more season. Get in a new first-choice LB with Baines as backup. Loan Robinson out for another season as he's apparently not ready for the big time yet.

    I don't think anyone is allowed to leave until a new manager is selected & him and Brands go through the squad.

    Brands should get Lozano from his soon-to-be ex-employer. Richarlison would cost a ridiculous amount, especially considering Watford are already suing us over Silva.

    He has been dismissive of the fans the whole time. It doesn't really matter what the fans say to him, he's at a job to keep his fume to himself. Yes, we might be speculating unprofessionals but really, it's not the managers job to tell that.

    Indeed, just pointing this out because the previous message mentioned Denise in relation to the stadium project.

    He has an infectious personality that can drive the team forward. He doesn't hide, even when things don't go his way. 
    Let's see what Silva can do with him. Not ready to be first-choice but especially with Allardyce's style his positive attributes are totally wasted.

    And let me guess, then he wants to go on holiday and decide after that?
