Louis Posted December 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Fozzie.. I reckon you're being unfair. Kings Dock fell apart because of spiralling costs - nothing the club could do afaik, they had 30m ready but the costs risen by 28m and no other partner would share the bill. EFC could not afford it and no one would offer a loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUE-TAC Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 So why wouldn't tesco/leahy be interested in the King's Dock? It was a prime location, would figure on the famous waterfront skyline, would remain within the city, half decent travel infrastucture, space for car parking etc. And the design was out of this world. Surely they could fit a little tesco express next-door?! Serioulsy tho, why not re-investigate that location with tesco/planet h'wood etc-you'd think those companies would much prefer a location like that. There's even the albert dock to compliment it. If it was ever the number 1 choice, it should remain that way until 100% exhausted whcih I doubt it is, rather than plump for just anywhere as this kirkby site appears to be.

He said at the agm (apparently) that his agent let us down because he said he would have all passport malarky sorted out. He's cost us £700,000 and not even played.

Guest fozzie Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Fozzie.. I reckon you're being unfair. Kings Dock fell apart because of spiralling costs - nothing the club could do afaik, they had 30m ready but the costs risen by 28m and no other partner would share the bill. EFC could not afford it and no one would offer a loan. I'm far from being unfair..the truth was the CLUb didnt have the 30 mill for the project to go ahead otherwise we'd be in there now,why this project is any different than that one bewilders me. the docks wont appeal to Tesco as Knowsley are offering £50m worth of land The thing is with that they cant just give us the land..it would be a massive knockdown price though. But lets recap and say this goes through (nothign at been signed of course) 1 year to get the deal through and get the land sorted.. 1 year for yet another poll to be organised for the fans..though those 2 could run concurently. 1 year to get planning/goverment permission to build it.. 18 mopnths 2 years to build it.. Minmum 5 years before we get in there or more likly 2-3 for BK to have breathing space as this simply wont get of the ground in the first place. I'll say it again our big chance to move was Kings Dock we didnt have the money then (and all sorts of agencies where throwing the stuff at us) and i'm bloody sure we wont have it now. In sort its yet another one of BK's pipe dreams that'll end in tears. Mark my words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 well if tis part of a regeneration programme for the surrounding areas then it wouldn't be so impossible to give the land away to get companies like Tesco and Everton to invest. even so, heavily discounted is a hell of a lot better than were getting out of liverpool council.

Not a question of that,i see no real evidence of "steady progress" tbh all the other clubs in and around us are prgressing at the same if not more pace. BK has told many untruths in the past and once again i see no evidence of change there either,once an actor always an actor. And trust me this is just the start of the unrest becuase when the RS start throwing money about (i cant see they wont) and we're buying knockdown priced players then i'm sure a groundswell of fans will move against him,not that it'll make any difference becuase as i say EFC is BKs toy and he aint letting it go.

The board now seem to have found a real sense of direction and purpose after years of floundering, and this has fired the fans and the team with an optimism that we haven’t had for a long time. as for bk i dont envy him his position. since chelski's takeover football has changed, and maybe not for the better. we can't compete with chelski or manu or even arsenal. and neither can ANY other premiership side. its a question of a slow and steady improvement to try and develop a side that can compete against the financial giants. quite frankly if you have to have something as obvious as this explained to you then you really have lost the plot!

So your indication of progress is not fighting relegation?? Well that may well be the sole ambition for you but i have much higher standards obviously the club qualified once for europe..we lasted 4 games..or are so blinded that your memory may be a little short there i think,the last time we where in europe was 1995 if i remember correctly. The board has a sense of direction?? what direction?? saying we're moving..2 words KINGS DOCK..heard it all before simple as that. Other clubs are moving past us for the love of god look at pompey sure they'll fall by the wayside but they have backing money,its called deeds and not words. I do agree though the PL has moved beyond us with the russians money and i'll put good money we'll never win it again in my lifetime,but sadly thats also down in part to the board,we we're big hitters at the inception of the PL now we're merely bit part players and thats down to succseive boards fault at not turning the club into a buisness like the mancs did. Read the posts on this board the fans arent that fired up as you put it becuase billy liar has bullshitted us all and newer fans will found out his this for themselves soon enough. You may prefer to stick your head in the sand and think all is well but its not Everton the grand old club of ours is nothing more than mid table fodder nowadys and it makes me sick to the pit of my stomach to say that,but you see i'm a hardend realists and prefer to live in the real world unless massive investment comes into this club and the quicker it does the better,then we'll be the new centuries version of coventry always hanging about the top ten,maybe a season or two in europe every now and again but nothing more.

I agree completely Steve..as i say we're "steadily improveing" and "5 year plans" mean fuck all tbh,every other club in the premiership have these very same plans in place and frankly they're executing them rather well. Everton under BK's stewardship we have foundered, the new covenrty i've called us and thats what we are,flirting with the top 10,europe every now and again but no real sign of any silverware. I like many other remember the shit that was served up in the 70's and pretty dire it was too to be fair but we had a chance to change to come back becuase the field was level,it isnt now not by a long way..money talks,it cant sing or dance but it can talk.. The solution is VERY simple BK to sell the club..theres plenty of people with money to burn willing to buy football clubs that much is clear..BK's defender choose not to see this of course and think the sun shines out of his flabby white arse.
