Such has been the unpredictability of this campaign, Everton fans have been sent on an emotional roller-coaster already. And it’s only December.
Having overcome points deductions, financial scrutiny, a terrible start on the pitch and more, it is a miracle that they are currently four points clear of the relegation zone, enjoying some of the best form they have posted in years.
Sean Dyche is the man to thank, as the architect of this resurgence, somehow managing to inject some positivity back into a side that had been devoid of it as they trundled to achieve narrow safety in both the 2021/22 and 2022/23 seasons.
Were it not for that ten-point docking, the Toffees would actually be just three points away from seventh-placed Newcastle United, who they beat 3-0 last Thursday.
And yet, throughout all the turmoil and struggles endured, there has been one constant ray of positivity: the upcoming Bramley-Moore Dock stadium being forged on the banks of the River Mersey.
Well, Everton have sought to offer a fresh update for fans amid claims that administration now looms, taking to X to write: ‘Our latest project update is in!’
The video that follows offers an all-access insight, showcasing the grand scale of the construction as well as various rooms inside the building.
How much has the Bramley-Moore Dock stadium cost Everton?
Having initially seen the cost of their new stadium projected at £300m, it quickly became clear that this was a figure wholly underselling just how expensive such a build can be.
After all, even as far back as 2017 saw The Guardian report that those fees were set to ‘escalate significantly’, having already risen to £500m.
In an effort to propel the club forward and offer far more opportunities for Everton fans and commercially, it marked a necessary investment needed for progression.
However, the constant draining of resources it has posed has arguably led to the regression on the pitch.
Most recently, Farhad Moshiri revealed that it would finally end up costing in the region of £760m, a monstrous £460m more than was initially expected.
However, given how the price of seemingly everything is rising at the moment, and the difficulties that come with constructing a state-of-the-art 52,000-seater arena, this should come as no surprise.
Tottenham Hotspur fell foul to the same financial frustrations, but are now widely recognised as boasting the best stadium in the country.
