“If Manchester United does not move, they still have Old Trafford.

“If Everton had not moved to Bramley Moor-Dock, they still have Goodison.

“We need support, but we must also say that the point about the club that may not exist is a real one. This must be moved up every head.

“We enter a crucial period in the history of the club. The future of the club depends on the new stadium, and I would encourage every supporter, every stakeholder and every voice to find out this project.”
