Now,former Everton manager believes a £60 million a year stadium could “save the club.”
Former Everton manager Keith Wyness believes the team’s “spectacular” new stadium might be the “savior” of the Toffees.
The 66-year-old, who was CEO of Goodison Park from 2004 to 2009 and ran a football consultancy advising elite clubs, said on the most recent episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast that it will be challenging for 777 Partners to complete their takeover and that the stadium will be essential in drawing in additional investment groups.
It is anticipated that Everton’s new 52,888-seat stadium, which could cost over £750 million, will be finished by late 2024.
It is anticipated that the Merseysiders would relocate to the new stadium in time for the 2025–2026 campaign.
According to reports, 777 Partners and Farhad Moshiri reached an agreement in September to purchase 94.1% of Everton for more than £500 million. However, the Premier League, Financial Conduct Authority, and Football Association all need to give their approval.
Wyness claimed that the potential earnings from the new stadium might be appealing to another organization.
