Just out of curiousity, should Liverpool decide to build a new stadium in Stanley Park, whi do you thunk is potential candidate for purchasing the naming rights?
I hope we move a new 70,000+ stadium and start building soon.
Stadium,?squad,? we have to balance both! somehow, we cant stand still on the capacity debate.

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.

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.

Itl obviously go the the highest bidder but seems like we want the money upfront before the go ahead is given to build!
