Whether he would if we ever got into the PL, is another matter. Everton's new stadium will cost £500m. They'll be little change from around £100m for a refurb of Hillsborough. Without his family/TUF investment or PL revenue acting as a loan security, I can't see him being able to afford the major investment we'll need in the stadium and training facilities over the next 10 years. And would he put up another 100m when he has already invested heavily and rightly or wrongly gets alot of abuse. Like you say we will have to be in the Premier League to find out.

I thought they looked quite good. Loads wrong IMO but obviously miles better than what we have now. First one was not making use of the space behind the Kop. We need to build back to Penistone road. There would 5/6 floors of space for amenities and corporate spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) I think Chansiri has only ever thought about one thing and that is promotion to the Prem. It would appear that is not going so well... Ironically, investment in the stadium, training ground, academy etc.,would probably put us in a much better position to fulfill the main aim. I did hear that changes were made to the training ground buildings at Steve Bruce's request. That was probably more superficial than anything else. Still - if you can get things off the pitch sorted, then you should eventually reap the benefits on the pitch.

Yellowbelly Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Why spend money developing players when they’ll just get poached by PL clubs if they show any promise? Better let other clubs develop them and sign up the ones who don’t quite make the grade at your Man City’s, Man Utd’s etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is the risk of losing someone, but you may also make a decent amount which can then reinvested in the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can do that on the PL youngsters we would sign up when they get released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogbad Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I've never understood why DC had always said he'd wait until we're established in the Premier before deciding what to do with Hillsborough or a new stadium. Surely whether it's redeveloping Hillsborough or moving to a new stadium it preferably needs to be in place when we get to the Premier so we can maximum income from day one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much would a complete rebuild cost compared to cost of building a new stadium? I suspect there's no money going into redevelopment because we will move if we ever get to the Premier League. Same with the training facilities, we won't spend money because we don't own the land and we would possibly try to get training facilities near the new ground. Pure speculation on my part. If we are to stay at Hillsborough money should be invested in the ground but our own training facilities on the outskirts of town would make a lot of sense.

Surely this is a brilliant way to get round the FFP - granted it might take a little longer but we could become the Chelsea of the Championship with a scheme like this. Sign up loads of talent, and loan it out to get experience. How does this get round FFP? The only way the things you suggest we spend on is going to happen is when we get to the Premiership. DC is not going to spend millions and millions on the club when we are in this position, with a chance of going down to league 1. I've just realised I've probably been whooshed because you must be on a wind up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm down dear Nothing wrong with the Lep plans IMO but the full plans lacked vision. You could argue that the Lep plans don't utilitise the area behind it.
