Dominic King's Echo piece

In his Silence is golden piece in tonight's Echo, Dominic King basically laments the lack of action taken by Liverpool Council to keep Everton in the city. Most of the article is the same old recycled tripe we hear all the time but there is one comment which puts everything in a totally different light and I quote:

'In essence, what they (Liverpool Council) need to offer is a piece of land with retail planning permission that could involve Tesco..'

The inference from this is that Tesco would feasibly build us a stadium in the city if the council offer a suitable site with permission.

Everything else I have read on the subject of ground move has led me to believe that Tesco would only build in Knowsley and therefore that is where Everton had to go because we couldn't fund a stadium for ourselves even if we had the land. If it is true that Tesco WILL build for us in the city then surely the council MUST give us a site here.

Everton Park must surely be given up to us.

The Liverpool council have a couple of sites in mind for us - Gillmoss and Speke but would Tesco want to build there?

To Rob - Everton Park is too small and not suitable for a stadium - i’m sure the local residents would be overjoyed at their park being taken from them. On the other hand Walton Hall Park (like Stanley) IS big enough to support a stadium and keep enough of it leftover for the local community.
