If he's not starting, then he may as well help out behind the bar.

Putting him, Toby, Jan and Rose behind the bar would also attract more punters and encourage them to stay longer, QED raising more money to bring in replacements for them. It's a win-win for all concerned, although I'd fear for Eriksen's ability to clear the first glass.

Vertonghen might be a bit risky, judging by the black eye he's been sporting...

Rose would eat all the sweets though :bandit:
 
The BIG unanswered (up 'til now) question in the universe has finally been answered.....and no, the answer's not 42.

It's....."So, how much will our new stadium actually cost?"

The figures below are from June 2018, so they're indicative only, until the club publish their next accounts and have been interpreted from the opaque nature of those accounts by BathY, a poster on SSC, who has experience of working on football club accounts and is not given to rash or wild claims. So, here goes...

Training Ground and Players Lodge - £106m
Lilywhite House - £11.5m
Stadium - £865m

The stadium cost appears to be broken down as follows (there is some guess work here due to broad definitions on THFC balance sheet)

Land - 75m
Construction - £602m
Fit out and IT - £39m (that figure will go up a lot IMO)
Design and Prof fees - £72m
Other development costs - £77m (I don't know for sure what this is but could also be some form of section 106 payments)


So, it may, just may, have hit the £1 billion mark in the end, taking everything into account. It's worth remembering that our spend from loan facilities, at this time, was something of the order of £500m. So we'd paid somewhere near half of the cost out of income over the previous decade.

I just don't know where Everton are going to get the money from...

When did the training facilities start getting chucked in with the stadium costs?

It doesn't.

You would also think that this person (if as skilled as stated) would be providing
gross and nett figures for things to date (for "executive summary" purposes) .

For example, AFAIK all the land purchases to enable new WHL to happen were made
during this decade out of THFC finances (no loan facilities were required to achieve it) .

Yup, and what is the split between peripheral development, which will generate income and actual stadium costs?

You should definitely tell him that and ask him why he hasn't provided this, on an very limited summary, in direct response to a request from another poster.

It's the third post on the page. Be sure to let me know what he says when you pick him up on it...

So in summary. your "guy" has not yet done (of his own volition, or because he cannot) ,
what I suggested. Which IMHO means he has done little more than what hbic stated.

As you appear to be an avid reader of that site, do let us know if/when he is arsed to
provide such figures (hopefully before next April - when people can get the true numbers
themselves) .
 
We have to let the hacks keep repeating the lie that the stadium cost £1bn somehow...

Indeed.
Start with 1bn, and find any combo of THFC gross expenditure that
will sum up to that number.

Perhaps in their quest to do so, one hater will get lucky and become
a mega millionaire by producing the most efficient algorithm around
that solves the "knapsack" problem.
