Everton’s Chief Executive says they hope to have more details on a new stadium within the next three months.
It was all but confirmed last night at the AGM that their preferred site for the stadium would be on the waterfront at Bramley Moore Dock.
Robert Elstone told shareholders there are still issues to overcome in their search.
Meanwhile major shareholder Farhad Moshiri said his aim is to estbalish Everton among English football's elite
The Iranian billionaire acquired a 49.9 per cent stake of the club in February 2016 and has seen summer appointment Ronald Koeman guide the Toffees to seventh at the halfway stage of the Premier League campaign.
Everton look set to improve on last season's 11th-place finish but, speaking at the club's general meeting, Moshiri outlined his ambitions.
"It is not enough to say 'we are special','' he said. We don't want to be a museum. We need to be competitive and we need to win."
"The gold standard is the Premier League. The league is where our competitive edge will be measured." "We have a window to establish ourselves and we will do everything we can."
"Bill (Kenwright) over the last 20 years, through his sheer dedication, has kept the club close to the elite."
"Now we need to look at sustainability to be amongst the elite. It takes time, but we are committed. That is why we are here."
