I think a new stadium is essential yes the squad has to be developed but no use over the long term having a successful team and a small stadium. Our rivals will all have top class stadia over the long term Anfield is limited in its development capacity. I agree it may not happen and JH may tart Anfield up and wack the ticket price up a la Fenway. That may suit John Henry's bank balance but it would destroy the over the medium to long term. We would be hamstrung forever. This is as important a time as when we split from Evertom and moved to a new ground. But I fear the wrong decision will be taken. Everton were the ones that split and moved to a new ground!!!

To be successful long term you need both a strong squad and a large modern stadium. The two go together they are not mutually exclusive. We have had this debate at length and some say a new stadium would not be financially viable. I am afraid I must disagree firstly it is a long term investment so could be mortgaged over the long term 30 to 50 years. Second football revenues will rise exponentially as new viewing products come on technology wise and with the emerging economies China / India / Latin America. So a few hundred million pounds will over the longer term be peanuts and I would not be surprised if we paid it back within 10 years. The model must be large stadia reasonable prices with the bulk of the revenue coming from TV and the product on TV is a large impressive stadium filled to the capacity. The model of small ground high ticket prices reserved for the rich and poor TV product (crummy stadia small crowd) will get the club nowhere. Fully agree, Stanley, Time to move on new stadium, will be sad but must be done to survive as a top club, so get on with it!

Itl obviously go the the highest bidder but seems like we want the money upfront before the go ahead is given to build! I don't understand what you mean?

I heard on a rumour site that adidas are willing to pay 100 mill for naming rights.

Its only talksport reporting it wether we believe them or not? they said LFC ARE looking for sponsors to take the stadium naming rights NOW! so they can put it towards the cost of putting a spade in the ground as soon as is possible.

The report suggested the ground wont be built without the money pledge/cheque,it will all be about the money theres no doubt there, i do think fans will have lots to say about the name when the time comes but i also think/know it wont make a blind bit of difference,the highest bidder calls the shots.

Tbf Faz I think people are fully aware of the direction football in this country in general has been going for quite a few years now,the question is what do you do about it?
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

if we build a new stadium we could sell the naming rights for about 35/40 million a year witch would cover the loan repayments, personally i don't see any financial reason against building a new stadium. if kenny does his job well we'll be in the CL every year so big money coming into the club there. we will soon be earning close to 50 million a year in shirt sponsors. and with the youngsters coming through we shouldn't have to be spending huge amounts in the transfer market over the next 4/5 years anyway. i'd say this is the perfect time for us to be building a new stadium a big fecking one 80 thousand.
