I was trying to think if it was Shankly or Paisley that won several European Cups.

It’s hurting Sucky. City relegation odds slashed….title winning odds are in favour of city somehow.

The rest was spent on this iconic ground.

A sound business plan, accompanied by a bulletproof recruitment plan. Everton FC.
Whatever the masterminds at Everton spent on that shambles vs whatever PIF have spent so far oiling our machine nicely just aren't comparable.
  • Newcastle have so far spent well, on real quality and crucially within the rules.
  • Everton spent blindly and desperately on lesser quality, disregarding the rules - or maybe just not understanding them well enough. Maybe.
  • The stadium is being build by burdening yourselves with debt and doesn't come into the losses mentioned below.
Just for a bit of flavour i.e. It was all the stadium nonsense / PIF spent more nonsense:

"After many years following a frugal approach, Everton really pushed the boat out under Moshiri, losing money six years in a row. In fact, they have lost exactly half a billion pounds in the last five years.

To place this into context, Everton’s £500m loss in the last five years is easily the largest in the Premier League, comfortably worse than Chelsea £434m, Aston Villa £326m and Arsenal £311m.

In this period, Everton have reported four of the 25 highest losses ever made in England, with three in the top 12:
  • 2019/20 £140m – 5th highest
  • 2020/21 £121m – 10th
  • 2018/19 £118m – 12th
  • 2022/23 £89m – 22nd"

Which Newcastle Everton obsessed account did you rip that from <cheers>

The account is SwissRamble - he does forensic analysis of everyone's published accounts and analysis of significant financial changes within football, objectively. It's just the truth.
 
On the plus side. Everyone gets an extra £6m due to 2 of the 3 relegated clubs no longer needing parachute payments.

Everton can now afford to install toilet cubicles at the new ground <whistle>
 
Ignoring all of the financial crap. I actually think the new Everton stadium looks the bolloxs. So refreshing not to see just another “bowl”.
It’s nice to see from time to time something which is both functional and ascetically pleasing, a bit like Leicester’s training ground.
