Tbf, you're right, but if you live here you'll know that the WHO have held the city back many times from modernising, there are many heritage sites were unscrupulous owners have left buildings rotting and in need of demolition and the council were forced to put cpo's in to rescue them, but the council under times of austerity are skint and see investment in the city as more important than a document filed in New York.
The Pier Head is nowhere near EFC's new stadium site and there will be space between the three graces and any new development on Great Homer St or the Dock Rd.

I honestly love our waterfront but the city needs what Peel Holdings, the council and EFC are planning, the Maritime Museum (ugly as ****) is next to the Liver Building and that didn't affect World Heritage Status and neither did The Echo Arena so neither should anything else imho.

What's your view on it GK?

Yes.

To be fair there is always a fine line between the benefits of any development and the effect it has on the area. The North end of the waterfront has been run down for years, especially the dock road,where I nearly crashed at approaching 100mph when racing a Triumph Stag in the eighties, so I think the development will be a good thing for the area. I think the tobacco warehouse is due to be turned into flats as well.

Yes, the tobacco warehouse will be turned into apartments, planning permission was given to build three massive skyscrapers on Leeds Street, if anything they'll spoil the view of the three graces from across the river.

Looking at Everton's attendance tonight they better keep the capacity of their new stadium in check.
 
Pulis for Everton?
That wouldn't the biggest surprise of the season. The owners predicament is: do they let it drift under the control of the fatty? or do they pinch their nose and get a manager with a record of keeping his clubs in the premiership, and may be appoint another one in the summer for the longer term?

Surely the longer they keep Unsworth the worse it will get for them. (Am I the only one to think that having a really unfit obese potbellied (only recently) ex player as a manager sends the wrong signal to the players? How do you insist on your players to be fit when you look as if you are stuffing yourself with a dozen pies every day?)

to be fair Poch is going that way and it hasn't done spurs any harm.
