I agree completely.

Not just another lost opportunity in the future for LFC but a lifetimes bracketing of LFC as a lesser club than our main competitors. If they get away with a redevelopment of Anfield to a max of around 60,000 there's no way back for at least a generation, and if their beloved FFP works out maybe never.
If these owners had any longterm ambition for LFC they they wouldn't be thinking this small, they'd want to at least match our competitors. Taken in the context of the proposed massive development for Liverpool city and area, it's unacceptable and really beggars belief that they would persist with it.

As investors looking for a return, I don't think they would look much beyond 10 yrs, private equity investors look for return within 5-7 years, don't think they would more than double that period. I however don't understand how their business model would work unless there are some big changes in the industry with FFP.

you need a team capable of attracting 60k, we are going backwards at present, I think the way we are going 50k will be well enough, not being negative just realistic, a mid table Club is never going to sell out 60k each game, even United no longer sell out and there the biggest and best club in the world...

If yiu are charging £50 a game in the north west of England you will never sell out at 60k don't care who you are. Utd are struggling other than prem games which are pre paid in the main.

It's the price niot the success primarily although being mid table does not help,.

unless we are prepared to match the big four pound for pound, mid table is all we will ever be, dont forget Arsenal and there stadium is almost paid for and Spurs have been granted planning permission for a 60k seater stadium somewhere off the Seven Sisters Road so you would imagine they would increase the gap between themselves and Arsenal and the likes of us, Everton, Newcastle, Stoke, Villa and West Brom who will be the chasing pack in the coming years, not so much chasing though...
