The inside track on the football stories that matter
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness has claimed there would be a “huge uprising from local businesses” if Nottingham Forest moved away from the City Ground., the 66-year-old – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – accused the local council of “taking the mickey” with their lease demands.
Forest had been eager to expand the City Ground’s capacity by 10,000 seats to over 40,000, but talks around the project have completely stalled.Wyness urged the club to become “more vocal” in warning about the threat to local business if they move to an outer-city location.“There are the hotel sectors, the bars, the restaurants, the taxi drivers – there’s so much going on, and so many other businesses which depend on matchday income.
“Even the move from Goodison to the new stadium at Everton will impact certain businesses and areas, even though the money will stay in the city.
