Everton owner Farhad Moshiri's claims that around £760m is now needed to make the club's new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock a reality have been strongly criticised by the club's supporters.
Moshiri dropped the bombshell in an pre-recorded interview on talkSPORT interview where he was questioned on the current state of the club and its plans going forward.
The Iranian-British businessman, who has been Everton owner since 2016, stated that the Everton Stadium development was a "£760m" project. This figure that is some £260m more than the £505m figure for construction that has long been suggested by club officials.
