Bernie the Bolt Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 just been on Peel Holdings website, they own John Lennon airport, the Trafford centre, mersey docks and harbour co, the boss man is a man who always gets what he wants apparently, wonder if he fancies owning the greatest football club in the world?

LIVERPOOL council last night pledged to do all it can to keep Everton Football Club within the city boundaries following reports of a proposed move to Sefton. It was suggested yesterday the Goodison club were interested in a site near to Switch Island currently owned by Peel Holdings, owner of Liverpool John Lennon Airport and the Trafford Centre. While the club itself privately distanced itself from any such move, former council leader Mike Storey last night said Liverpool council was keen to make sure the city would not lose the Everton name to its near neighbour. There is still enormous regret about Liverpool FC building its academy in Knowsley, tempted away by the borough's then chief executive, David Henshaw. Storey, who now has responsibility for cultural and other special initiatives in Liverpool, said: "I'm quite sure the city council will do all it can to make sure both Liverpool and Everton stay within the city limits with any new stadiums. "I had heard that Peel's land at Central Docks was a possibility for Everton and I believe that is a far more likely stadium site than Switch Island." Everton have been approached by Peel Holdings about the Switch Island site and Peel are paying for a feasibility study to ascertain its suitability for a football ground, but events are not thought to have progressed any further than that. And the Daily Post understands Everton are cool on the idea for two reasons. Firstly, the Switch Island site is green belt (formerly used for farming) and as such would be subject to a highly rigorous planning process and a lengthy public inquiry. Those objections have been defeated by other developments though and it is the second reason, the club's reluctance to abandon its 125-year roots within the city boundaries of Liverpool, which is probably more key. Everton fans have learned to treat all stadium possibilities with some scepticism. And it is understood the Peel approach is one of just dozens from various developers with land to sell on Merseyside, in the knowledge that Everton have a publicly-stated desire to find a new stadium. Given the well-documented lack of funds at Goodison, any stadium deal would almost certainly have to be preceded by new investment in Everton, even if the stadium was to be paid off through some sort of lease deal. Last night both parties were remaining tight-lipped about any possible developments. A statement from Peel said: "Following the acquisition of Mersey Docks and Harbour Company. Peel now own a number of sites that have potential for development in Liverpool and we are exploring future uses of this land with a number of organisations." Everton spokesman Ian Ross said: "Since the demise of Kings Dock we have continued to look at a range of options and that will continue."

scouse Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Cant see where on switch Ireland? as stated its a car park at the bets of times and always getting changed. Are they not doing a fly over there or something? where would they build it at the fields at the top end of the Island? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 cant see it myself, but most probably the most fanancially possible out of all the crap we've heard. the location is attractive because of all the motorways near by. the best site i can think of is on the east lancs, just before carcraft. much better access than Goodison. and good access roads too. cant see why BK gettin stick for this? its peel doin the talkin here. im not BKs biggest fan by any means, but surely we can lay off him on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie the Bolt Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 The way i understand this is that Peel Holdings will build this stadium from their own funds and lease it to EFC, i think Man City lease their new ground, and it seems to be working for them doesn't it? As some of you lot might already know, i have always wanted EFC to stay at Goodison, that is our spiritual home, it can be redeveloped, and i have the plans that show how it can be done. The problem we have is that as a club we are always skint, there would be little or no chance of this board putting any sort of plan together to fund such a redevelopment. So, our options are limited, do we stay in the old lady, or move? Peel Holdings could be just the outfit to come to the clubs rescue, i would love them to be able to strike some sort of a deal for rebuilding Goodison, i wonder if they could in fact build a new stadium on the existing footprint and then lease it back to us?? The city council seem to be in a state of panic at the prospect of losing the citys oldest and biggest club, tough, they have been the ones who have stood in the way of our club so many times in the past while seemingly giving the less well known club across the park whatever they want. In answer to the post above, regarding the site being green belt, thats not our problem is it? Peel Holdings are the ones doing all the spadework, so let them get on with it, wasn't the Trafford Centre built on greenbelt? they seem to have got over that one without to much bother.

Guest fozzie22 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 (edited) Well BK could sell Goodison i mean after doing the best deal for Everton he'll rake in at least £50 for it Edited February 15, 2006 by fozzie22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBird Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 New Stadiums are all about the attached retail. That's why Goodison is a no no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 if we could get a deal with peel holdings the knock on effect of a new stadium can be huge. i see it like this; there is no massive out lay for the new ground, just rent to pay when its completed. you get all the gate (no doubt at a higher price per ticket) also with the high capacity more cash again. and with the place being new more people wanna come to see what all the hype is about. (look at the attendences @ sunderland in the lower league when they got the stadium of light) i love Goodison, its full of character and history and alot of emotions have been shed there over the years, but in the modern game this doesnt account for so much anymore. we need to catch up, big time!

Bill Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Agreed, But it has to be situated in the right place, not somewhere it is difficult for half the city to get to. Has to be more Central. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 THE CITY IS CENTRAL (docks). Other than that, a temparary move so they can demolish and rebuild Goodison. (the home of the blues for a century). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 the docks would be a nightmare for access, its bad enough as it is, would be even worse for football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Does'nt the public transport from all outlying areas of the city converge on the Pier Head, wheres the problem. ???? Dont you think all this would have been researched, by the Council, the Police, and the Tansport People, before thinking about going there. Its a better proposal than Switch Island, for people living out south end of the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
