David Moyes finally ready to break his new stadium superstition

Anj, please never reefer to the other lot as anything but negative.
They are a hated side and rightly so especially for us blues.
So in future please refer to the other lot as, well, the other lot.😁

A dose of reality from me;

BMD will likely seem to our players next season to be permanently playing away from home for the first few months at least, picking starting elevens from, as yet, an all but wholly unknown squad.

Hopefully Mr Friedkin, the par excellence Toyota car salesman he's shown himself to be (until Trump kicked him and many such others in the knackers tariff-wise) has recognised this and still intends/is able to invest sufficiently to prevent next season and the one after that, becoming the usual utterly depressing slog to avoid relegation from the outset.

Due to our 30 year history of hideous management and the damage done to our reputation world-wide as a direct consequence I, right now, will delighted if next season we're top half - again, just a few points off relegation.

At 70 in my life, experience paralyses baseless optimism.

Unless Friedkin can do what no other club owner of his reportedly modest (compared to the oil-rich nation state wealth of other EPL club owners) fortune can do to "lawfully"-in-the-ever-fandangoed-cess-pit of EPL fatuous governance, remains to be seen.

If we qualify for any European tournament in the next five years I honestly believe that as a minimum we should name a stand after the hitherto unknown Toyota car salesman now claiming ownership.

Sir, you have a mountain to climb, to put it mildly.

Please deign to address our/and-now-your fans with your definitive ambitions for the immediate future of Everton FC.

My concern is that I can see Moyes gradually getting his feet under the table.His initial period of a offensive attacking team has faded The Man United game showing Moyes's glass ceiling still exits and he has resorted back to Dycheball.As soon as Everton got clear of relegation, relaxation set in and ambition went.

It will be very much up to the new Chief Executive to set the standard and demand performance and progress. Thankful Moyes has only been able to progress internal promotions and hasn't got West Ham backup he wanted, which really would have set the Moyes trend to comfortable status.

He still thinks in terms of plucky little Everton and talks in terms of gulfs,rather than a progressive plan for improvement and competitive achievement.

Davy boy we demand achievement and progress once you set foot on BMD. Make no mistake.

In full agreement with you on that point, Jerome.

Now in my 70's, and remembering the wonderful 80's, I make no apologies for having a cynical, if not conspiratorial view on life. Money goes to money, and that's a fact. Meanwhile, I fully expect the impact of the new stadium will be a game-changer for many reasons, but the most significant of the overall architectural quality will be the following;- 1) The steepest gradient permissible for the stands, 2) The minimal practicable distance between the pitch perimeter and the supporters, and, I believe 3) The focus on the acoustic qualities of reverberation impact, will combine to be game-changing influences that 'Dan the Man' Meis (Architectural genius) identified in his concept design values. When filled to the brim with passionate scousers, the Z-Cars theme tune, and the WW2 Siren, the bear-pit atmosphere will be off the scale. A new era dawns and I simply can't wait.

Jerome Shields @ 3 - You really are a miserable bugger of the kind who gives praise to nobody. How disappointed you must to see Moyes fluke our salvation- just think what misery you could have enjoyed had we took the drop !
