Goodison has streets of terraced housing, behind three sides of the ground. They would have to purchase and demolish hundreds of houses to obtain enough land for expansion. Liverpool did the same thing, if you remember.

Even disregarding the financial implications of that , shouldnt a stadium with some history about it be conserved ? Realize its everton afterall.
The best thing from a financial sense that moshiri can do is ensure the stadium development still goes on. An increased capacity stadium probably allows moshiri to have an exit plan and get in another mr oilbags guys who can buy a club for the cheap and then proceed with their sportswashing.
The compulsory purchasing Liverpool did caused a right stink with no Joe Anderson I can’t see the council allowing it again.

Not mentioned much on here, but the one thing that makes Everton’s season ever better is the continued success of Cristophe Gaultier, the trendy but overlooked candidate to replace Carlo. He was the fashionista choice after guiding Lille to the title last season. Instead he went to Nice and has them up in second having just embarrassed PSG in their league game prior to the real loss.

I said a couple of weeks ago they needed to get at least 3 points from these two home games. Now even on points with Watford, and crap as Watford are, they have more opportunities to pick up a point here or there than Everton does. Their April is brutal, and I don’t think Lampard has what it takes to pull them together on the other side of that.
Basically, a must-win against Toon on Thursday.

Everton have a 7 goal superior goal difference to Watford and 3 games in hand.
Of course the games in hand are only any use if you don’t lose them all. Given Everton’s form they could well drop into the relegation zone without Watford doing a thing. It really is a desperate stare of affairs for them now.

They should be able to escape, but by May I think they will be mentally done. Lampard will be spending more time thinking about how to avoid blame than on how to get a tough draw. Goodison will be a toxic seething pit. If they get a win against Newcastle, I expect them to be fine. If they don’t, Watford will get a point somewhere, and the meltdown begins.

That Watford game is big.
Newcastle isn’t easy for them to be honest, there are games they can win.
But not if they play like they have, I’m just glad our match is at Anfield if they start being shithouses the crowd will jump on it.

Maybe we shouldn’t have been so surprised about Brighton mind.
That’s the last 5.
Effectively it gets worse at last 10, 15 and 20. Effectively they are staying up on what Rafa did in August and September

How good must Conor Coady have felt scoring that goal against Everton, knowing it might just help to send them down. I’d pay money to do that.

Lampard will be watching ‘Severance’ and thinking, “I wish I could get that procedure done”.
UP DA DOFFIES!!!
