Everton reveal 'deal of century'
Everton have outgrown current home Goodison Park
Everton chief executive Keith Wyness claims "the deal of the century" is in place for a new stadium in Kirkby.
A ballot is to be conducted among around 33,000 Everton fans to decide on the stadium, which could open by 2010.
But Wyness insists there is no Plan B to the move, which will be helped by £50m from supermarket giant Tesco.
He said: "It is an amazing deal. The deal of the century. If the heart rules the head we will never get an opportunity like this again."
The stadium will be built on land contributed by Knowsley council and will hold between 50,000 and 55,000 - and will include a Tesco store and shopping centre.
Everton claim they will be left with minimal debts from the scheme and they would have around an extra £10m a year in transfer funds.
Any cash Everton need to put into project will be offset by naming rights to the new stadium and the sale of Goodison Park, which could raise about £15m.
