I agree Liverpool and Everton are part of the city and long may they continue to do well. If the council owned both clubs there might be some justification in cross subsidy. But the council does not own either they are both privately owned businesses. If anyone thinks an American businessman such as John Henry will be prepped to stump up tens even over a hundred million plus of his own money to fund a club he has no interest in then you need to think again. Also we must consider Everton’s status Liverpool has fallen from grace but its inconsequential compared to Everton who now have enormous problems on and off the field. In fact I would go so far as to say they are a championship club in waiting now or even worse. They are no longer of the same status as us and there is no commercial logic whatsoever of joining forces with them.
Hurrah, somebody else who see's the light. The fact is if you were going to buy a swanky new flat with a mate you would at least hope he has the funds to pay his half. Everton regardless of what all the council do gooders and journo's want DO not have the finance to pay anywhere near what is needed to share a stadium. They didn't in 2002 when Moore/Parry had discussions with them and they dont now, baring in mind they are now worse off and we have had a banking crisis and steel prices have rocketed.
They wanted the Kings Dock for free and the council to pay half. Also wanted Tesco to build the kirby stadium, Everton are well and truly skint.
