NEW STADIUM LATEST

/noticias.info/ Chief Executive Keith Wyness has provided the latest news on Everton's proposed new stadium.

He revealed that a decision on the planning application is expected shortly, but admitted some there remains concern over the possibility that the project will be 'called-in' by the government.

Wyness said the entire proposal could be in danger should that happen.

He said: "We are now at the planning stage, to see if we can get it approved.

"That decision will be reached very shortly. Work will start very quickly then after that if it is approved.

"The planning process is very complicated. There are lots of different factors. There is definitely a chance that it may not get through in the way we want it to.

"It could get called in by the government office. If that does happen, it may jeopardise the whole thing. It's a very serious issue for us."The CEO pointed out that there was still no viable alternative to the Kirkby project, with remaining at Goodison incurring it's own problems.

"Plan B at the minute is just being here at Goodison but that will give us longer term problems, as we have always known," he said.

"There isn't the opportunity to develop Goodison in the way we would have hoped, so the new stadium is crucial for us to go forward.

"There is no doubt for Everton to attract the right investor, the stadium is a crucial part of that. I don't think people would be prepared to invest in the club until that is resolved." notas_de_prensa_archivo
