Jamie Carragher, the former Liverpool defender and current Sky Sports pundit, has shared his verdict on Everton’s new stadium plans after watching footage of the proposed design. Unfortunately for Everton fans, Carragher’s assessment is not overwhelmingly positive.
Carragher, who has been vocal about his opinions on various football-related topics, was shown footage of the Wigan Star, a proposed design concept for Everton’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. While the design has been met with excitement and anticipation from many Everton fans, Carragher’s reaction was more subdued.
“I’ve got to say, I’m not blown away by it,” Carragher said on Sky Sports. “I think it’s a bit…safe. I mean, it’s a nice design and all that, but it’s not going to blow anyone away. It’s not going to be one of those stadiums that people look at and go ‘wow’.”
Carragher’s comments are likely to be met with disappointment from Everton fans, who have been eagerly awaiting the construction of their new stadium. The proposed design has been touted as a state-of-the-art facility that will provide an electric atmosphere for matches, but Carragher’s verdict suggests that it may not be as groundbreaking as some fans had hoped.
It’s worth noting, however, that Carragher’s opinion is just one perspective, and many others may have differing views on the proposed design. Ultimately, the success of Everton’s new stadium will depend on a variety of factors, including its functionality, atmosphere, and overall fan experience.
