I really hope we give this to an English main contractor. The last 3 big stadiums built in this country have had foreign main contractors. We have the ability to do it.
 
I think like Spurs it will be built under a construction management contract.

I can’t see the big main contractors taking the risk on that sort of project.

Stadiums were a big reason for the collapse of Buckingham Group.

Rumours are Laing O’Rourke are losing money on the Everton ground.

The subbies will all be UK based

The roof leaking and flooding out concourses hasn't helped with those costs.
I was also (unreliably) informed that they put in a low bid just to get the contract

Still doesn’t help with the job of finding £2bn to build the stadium that’s for the owners to work out.

The wider development could help fund it though as with government support for development the land the club owns will increase in value and it sounds like there will be incentives for developers to fund the projects.

It’s looking almost certain it will be a new ground now rather than refurbishing the current one. Sadly it’s the only way to do it but still think it’s a very long way from getting off the ground.
