I initially read that as “They walked out when YNWA was played”.

Hahaha wouldn't surprise me

Went past BMD today. Bleak in the weather.  Big signs saying no photographs or social media posts to be taken.
Is Bungling Bill trying to pull a media rights trick?
Photography in a public space is not illegal. Anyone standing outside the ground can take a photo of it.
Two big sections cut out of the wall to serve as gates that will have to be replaced. Only way out is via the Dock road gate and apparently one further up by the sewage works.
Maybe all our leg pulling about ferries tying up alongside might not be a bad idea. Getting 40,000 fans away from there is going to be fun

Where’s the construction media rights money Bill?

Sorry, someone had to say it

BMD for short

[Jwils21]

Big day for Everton today with Bobby brown shoes & his Evertonian midfield general winning their first game with Belgium.

If only Everton had De Bruyne, they’d win the lot.

It's bad enough getting 10k in the Kings Dock Arena and that's not enclosed.

A full takeover of Everton by US investors is edging closer after new developments behind the scenes.

What's going to happen to the Liver Building then? Is that part of the deal

Take it down brick by brick and re-build it in the Arizona desert alongside London Bridge

[CraigDS]

What's going to happen to the Liver Building then? Is that part of the deal

Why would it be part of the deal?

[Ghost Town]

Why would it be part of the deal?

Think it was a jokey reference to Prof. Barrett-Baxendale's full-on 'Everton that' claim that "the City is ours!" just because a company linked to Moshiri owned the Liver building for a while and Everton rented a floor of it

That was also up for sale until last week, after the £90m price tag was not met.

Imagine it.

We trounce them 5-0 in the derby and he comes on the telly afterwards to declare that they actually won but had victory stolen from them.

Mind you, that sounds like he'd fit in really well over there.

When smart Americans are selling up, what American would think now is a good time to buy an English football club?

[thaddeus]

When smart Americans are selling up, what American would think now is a good time to buy an English football club?

A group like ALK Capital - the shady consortium that bought Burnley with debt leveraged against the club and ultimately relegated them.

Moshiri's finances are always a bit of a mystery but it may be that he's at the stage of cutting losses and getting back whatever he can from whomever he can.  Everton are a sportswashing project if anything but that's very much not the model of US owners.

Everton don't own it though remember.

Owned in part by Moshi la via a shady company.

Used to work on the 4th floor there, Everton on the 6th. Very spacious office I heard.

Also Liverpool use the Venue (on the 1st floor) for hospitality.

The only link to Everton is that they probably pay rent to Moshi for the office space (haven't checked their accounts to check though)

Who would buy Everton at this stage? A half built stadium with another 200-300m needed to finish it. A weak squad flirting with relegation. A callow, unproven manager. Literally one of the biggest teams in the world next door. And, in a global era, a tiny catchment of supporters priding themselves on their local status, like a pornstar boasting of having ythe smallest penis in the business. It's a terrible investment

Not really high potential or that big a club either. Newcastle have now made it tougher to break into a top 6/7 finish.

Compare them to West Ham for example. A free ground in London already paid for with a higher capacity than BMD will be. West Ham a bigger fanbase and catchment area and they're in Europe. Then you've got Leeds a big one club city. Aston Villa tge main club in Birmingham.

Everton's natural level now is mid table.

Of course, but that fact never stopped the Bitters claiming it as theirs.

It's like how the £1.3b Moshilad had in personal wealth suddenly belonged to Everton, and they were "fuckin' rich."

Now come on, that's not very fair.

Those pair are far too good for Everton.

If Brazil wins the WC, would Everton get a replica in their trophy cabinet?

They don't have a trophy room anymore. They turned that area into a bar. Saw a video on it a couple of years back. The Cuckoo Clock probably ended up feeding their new boiler.

Christ, how embarrassing...

Have I got this right?

This fella is proud of a Spurs player scoring on international duty?

Well he did give birth to him, or something.  That has to count.

To be fair, they’ve done their best to burn through the majority of that. They really did take it literally.

They'd have to share it with us

They’d get half of one and we’d get 2 full ones…..
