what if the club took rafa on a 2 year contract.told him he has 100 million over two years plus sales.then he is basically on iron rations after thet.after the two years if he's still there we start building a new stadium and tho money would be available not on the same scale as before.he has managed ok under worse conditions and if he was told honestly and from the start what his working conditions were to be and his financial constraints he wouldn't be bitching or complaining that the rug had been pulled from under him or he was backstabbed.

I personaly think we should wait before deciding on a new stadium myself, another season or two of finishing between 6th and 9th and we wont have enough fans to fill a 60k seater stadium with our fair weather supporters. I also dont want to be paying in upwards of 70 pounds a ticket to pay for another 15 thousand seats because lets face it thats how much this new stadiums capacity will be more than the current one and I dont give a damn about the corporate prawn sandwich side of things which lets face it is the Clubs only reason in having a bigger stadium in the first place not for average Joe Public. I am by the way in favour of a shared stadium in a football quarter the Council is lobbying for, think in these economic times the money saved will work out better in the long run as more can be spent on the team and the fans wont be paying as much for a new stadium we wont fill to be built.

Don't agree Ian the idea of a new stadiumn is that ticket prices come down or remain as they are now. At £70 a ticket (don't know where you got that figure from) no body would go to Anfield. So how can it be funded ? by long term financing and sponsorship and a long term corporate plan by success on the field and organic growth. But one thing I do agree with you 3 /4 more seasons like this and it will be pointless we should prepare for the championship. Thats why I am so disappointed with these new owners I thought they had the knowhow and access to finance seems I was wrong.

The reason they won't do it here is the market won't stand it. They may think otherwise but they would be making a big mistake. I don't care what they did in Boston this is Liverpool.
