I had a manager game many years ago. Can't remember which one but it had LFC in the new Anfield in something like 2008! This was back in Moores days that I had the game and there were plans for a new stadium. It's bonkers how long it's taken to even redevelop!

Building new stadiums is quite complicated as the investment is very significant. We haven't been able to do it when we were among the bset in Europe and very few teams in England have been able to full this off in the last 25 years, only Arsenal and Sunderland I think while City got one at a very discounted price following the commonwealth games.

I'm sure they could find a way if they wanted but I'm happy that they're doing Anfield having said that. A new stadium would be nice but at least we're slowly dragging ourselves forward. And £150m is hardly insignificant investment.

No they don't but they do have to be fabulously wealthy and not care about blowing away hundreds of millions there is no money to be made in premiership football other than players and agents as far as I can see. John Henry is not that man. United and arsenal were wise enough to invest in new stadia we have missed the boat unless we get new owners I am afraid

It's massive to us but for a top premiership club it's barely a years transfer fee no where near good enough to establish our long term future

Have you ever been to anfield ? You would know the answer to that immediately anfield is a small footprint and really a standing ground where they have installed seats the main stand and centenary people are crammed in like sardines. The refurbishment is not the whole ground just rebuilding the main stand and anfield road. And telling me I am talking [oops] does not make your point any more valid just demonstrates your intelligence or lack of

Maybe you're right and it's not enough. But maybe it will be enough? We don't know for sure. But they are investing which has to be a good thing for us going forward. We can argue the toss for years as to whether it's enough.
