KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum What have FSG brought to the table ?

Is that option worth 250 mil and all the additional interest costs associated with it?

I think with grants naming rights etc we need not take on a lot of debt say £400k over 40 years the difference between that and £150k is negliable

Definately whats the alternative ?

Revamping anfield for 250 mil less and not been saddled with massive debt and interest payments for the next 40 years

And Liverpool second best indefinately

£250m is peanuts king kenny and comolli blew half that in 6 months. A stadium lasts for 100 years.

Actually you are miles off, in more ways than one.

Firstly, none of our great managers burdened the club with debt, which is you are suggesting happens now.

Secondly, SHanks would probably hook you in the face if he heard the amount of times you say "What would Shankley have done?". Shankly would have used his own brain, which is what I suggest you do, instead of living in the past and wondering what Shanks would have done.

USe your brain, it makes no sense to place enormous amounts of debt upon the club for a "just in case" scenario.

It is not indefinite though. You have decided that if they revamp anfield that they can never leave. If it made sense in 15 years to revisit a new build, there may be more options. Everton might have the finances to split it 50/50. We will know what our demand might approximate better working off a 60000 stadium

You've convinced me Stan.

FSG are a bunch of money grabbing sods who are only in it to bleed the club dry and then sell it on. We need real owners with enough cash for a new stadium - not a poxy 60k stadium, but a new ground where we can wash our hands of the past, make new memories with the option to increase attendance to 100k. Oh, and plenty of dosh for top drawer players.

Let's start a petition.

I'm serious.

I know you are Duncan I am not looking for an argument I believe 65k with the money borrowed over the long term with assistance from the Liverpool city region (which I believe approached right we would get) by assistance I mean guarantees rather than direct cash. This is definately achievable with the access to finance and huge cash £2 billion comning into the new combined region. Throw in some naming rights it will be peanuts. Then if necessary in the future expand to 90k if the need is there and the sums add up.

That way Liverpool FC are set up for the rest of our lives and will be able to compete with anyone.

Revamping Anfield may be slightly cheaper but I believe very short sighted.
