This move will transform Everton. They need to put their past history behind them (great though much of it is) and move forward. I loved Maine Road as much as anyone but leaving there was the best thing ever for City. It actually felt like we had ditched a lot of negative baggage. I remember the first match at the City of Manchester Stadium and watching City beating Barca in a pre-season friendly with the sun shining. I just thought...wow. We have never looked back.

it's been a long time coming and until it happens i will not believe it. the kings dock/ destination kirkby projects still rankle. but i agree it will be a great move and the legacy of leaving goodison to the community for mental health and other projects is one that the club should be very proud of.

When I started watching football in the late 60s Everton were the major club on Merseyside. It is time you got back to the top table. The new stadium by the river makes Everton a very attractive investment prospect.
The only thing standing in your way are the fraudulent FFP regulations and the corrupt cartel (led by LFC) which still has a very powerful influence in English and European football. You can be sure LFC will try every dirty trick in the book to stop any threat from Everton. City and Everton have always been much closer to their local communities than our mutual enemies in red.

Yes I know. Not the smartest move but I suspect their owners may now take a different view. To progress Everton will need a huge short-term investment to make them sustainable long-term, just as City needed. You can't build any business without investment.
I am not sure if the current owners have deep enough pockets but there is no reason why Everton can't copy City's very successful community business model of working in partnership with the local council, local universities, local schools, development firms etc etc. Sheikh Mansour has made a lot of profit from his property investments in Manchester and every house built, every hotel, every sport and science institute developed adds more value the flagship asset...the football club.
The owners of Everton can build the value of the club and then sell a stake in the club to cover the costs of their initial outlay. Sheikh Mansour got every penny back from his purchase of City 24 when he sold a stake to the Chinese and US consortiums.
