[PTP]

Yeah that's the only thing that concerns me re Everton getting this done is joe Anderson pulling the strings and getting something pushed through on the cheap

That said it could actually turn out worse

A new station doesn't make sense as Sandhills station is nearby.

[Deano]

The more I hear about it I just can't see them being in it within the next 4 years if it is the dock,so far they haven't agreed a price to buy the land from Peel,

They aren't going to give it away - they'll hold them to ransom on it

They aren't going to give it away - they'll hold them to ransom on it

Ye I can see peel taking the piss with them over a price,afterall they will look into what effect a stadium would have on any of their other plans for the land they own along the docks ,I mean would people want to be paying 200k+ on an apartment with a stadium on the doorstep.

They've got the design sorted.

Life size trophy room!

Everton's training ground will be renamed USM Finch Farm after the Blues revealed a multi-billion-pound Russian holding company as one of their lucrative new sponsors.

The five-year naming rights deal will begin this month and will also see the USM logo advertised at Goodison Park.

USM is one of the world's largest private holding companies and was founded by Arsenal shareholder Alisher Usmanov, a close friend of Everton majority investor Farhad Moshiri.

Their latest financial results saw the company generate revenue in excess of $6.3bn (£5bn).

At the Blues general meeting on Wednesday, chief executive Robert Elstone said the deal with USM, and an as yet unnamed new shirt sponsor, will be worth £75m to the club.

Businesses within USM Holdings include Metalloinvest, the largest mining company in Russia, and CIS the leading global manufacturer of hot briquetted iron.

They also own Baikal Mining Company, which owns one of the largest copper reserves in the world, and MegaFon, one of the major telecommunications operators in Russia.

Ivan Streshinsky, Member of the Board of Directors of USM Holdings said: “The naming of Finch Farm, and the extensive package of marketing rights, provides USM and the businesses within our group with unique year-round global media exposure.

"We’ve done considerable research into what this partnership can deliver for us and we’re very excited about the difference this will make as we continue to build our brands.”

Mr Elstone added: “We are really pleased to welcome USM into our commercial portfolio as training ground naming rights partner.

"I’m sure that the marketing platform this provides USM and its businesses will help them achieve their growth objectives.

"It is a significant and exciting deal for Everton as we continue to grow our commercial revenues.

"We’ve invested heavily into our training facilities over recent years and this deal means we can continue to provide top class facilities, which we know plays an important role in attracting the best playing talent, from academy right through to first-team.”

In 2013 Everton became tenants at their 55-acre Halewood training ground after selling the complex to Liverpool council in a £13m deal.

Everton will receive a £75m commercial boost after securing bumper new sponsorship deals for the club's shirt and training ground.

Chief executive Robert Elstone said the identity of the companies involved will be announced imminently, as the Blues also pursue a separate multi-million pound shirt-sleeve sponsor for their kits next season.

Speaking at the club's General Meeting at the Philharmonic Hall , Mr Elstone said the two already finalised deals will run over a five-year period.

He said: "It is two really positive, clearly high value deals we will be announcing shortly.

"Part of the £75m amounts to a major new naming partner for our training ground. We can't announce that right now but it will be announced shortly and it's great news.

"The other thing is a three-fold increase in the value of our shirt sponsorship and we will release that new partner in due cause.

"We're also hopeful we will secure a good deal for the shirt sleeve property.

"It's real, tangible progress."

Elstone was unable to say whether the new shirt sponsorship deal was with long-term partner, the Thai Beer company Chang.

As the ECHO reported last month the club have also been in talks with Kenyan online sports betting firm Sport Pesa over a potential deal.

Elstone said: "The two deals we've concluded are already banked and secured under legal contract and will generate £75m for the club over a five year period.

"It's a substantial increase in value.

"We're also hopeful we will secure a good deal for the shirt sleeve property."

He stressed that growing the Goodison outfit's commercial revenue is vital to ensure they can move forward while also complying with UEFA's Financial Fair Play Rules; which are designed to stop wealthy owners bankrolling success in an unsustainable fashion.

He was speaking shortly after Iranian billionaire Farhad Moshiri, the club's majority investor, had given unprecedented insight into his ambitions to take Everton into football's elite.

"It's vital as we look to find the resource to support Ronald Koeman that we're playing within the rules of Financial Fair Play," he said.

[Lecter]

This dodgy mayor is keen to move this along...
suggestions that h might be 'friendly' with peel holdings as well as efc.
he has form gives ng preferred bidding staus to redrow and LMH, contracts to kings construction etc.

Anderson is a ****ing ****ehawk

He would do anything to get Everton a stadium including handing over public money and spending more on infrastructure

The ground at the docks will be horrendous, the traffic will absolutely kill it

[Irishnev]

75m for shirts and training ground over 5 years? Not so massive after all it seems.
