There's 100m ring fenced in a separate company account.

Is it Trotters Independent Trading?

Still ain't gonna happen.
Everton will build a whole new stadium before we see a new stand

My sentiments entirely

Let's keep this thread going until the stand is built. Or the world has ended - whichever comes sooner.

It's a funny old one this. The club had put far too much time, money and effort in to this new stand to just not proceed now. The loss of face alone would be more than it was worth given the public commitment to the project and its obvious importance to our development.

At the same time there is no obvious reason why its taking so long from planning permission to breaking ground. Sainsburys can't be asking for that much money in the context of the overall costs surely, and even without that issue there seems a very slow rate of progress on things like signing the legal agreement, for no obvious reason.

Pure speculation on my part but all I can think of is that the club doesn't have many active directors on the board, it seems just to be Parish really, and I wonder if he just feels that he has to personally focus on one thing at a time, with the academy being the priority?

Who knows? The club could hire someone to oversee the project, for example, rather than Steve do it all. I suspect the money wasn't ring fenced at all and we're up for sale. We're like a house that's up for sale with planning permission for a granny annex.

Yep. Any decent firm of surveyors could have taken on this job. All they need is financial parameters and critical dates and they could be let loose to put together a project timetable for construction. It's not rocket science.

The only feasible explanation for it not moving ahead at the moment is a lack of money.

The Everton stadium is probably a lot easier. For a start Liverpool City Council has recently been proved to have been corrupt and arrests have been made in the background as well as the Liverpool Mayor now facing prosecution and even possible prison so I have no doubt that all it took for Everton to get their stadium approved was a few postal bags full of 50s dropped round a few council officials houses to get it all agreed and signed off.
We on the other hand are not only dealing with awkward opposition in Sainsbury and a council that does things by the book, we also have Khan for a Mayor thats more interested in spending 18m on News Years eve fireworks displays that no one is allowed to go out and watch!
This is the difference in what we are up against
