I can see LFC loaning the money to redevelop Anfield/build at Stanley Park. I suggested as much prior to the sale of the club. The point here is that the club would be buying it's own stadium, exactly as Arsenal have done, and honestly it's a plan that suggests NESV are serious about making the club self-sufficient (which is a good thing). It's not giving money to people who will simply take it. Yes, if we're funding a stadium then profit that could have gone to the squad will now be diverted, but we're a mess right now and I'd prefer we struggled along gamely in the LFC way until we have 60 000 bums in seats to push us on to the next level. I'd rather we concentrated on finding the right manager and creating a strong foundation for the future of the club (buying and developing youth, bringing them into the first team, getting the stadium sorted so that we have the financial muscle to become a force in our own right once more) than frittering away tens of thousands of pounds for no tangible gain as we have been doing for the past few seasons.
Obviously first prize is that NESV throws money at us, but I'm not convinced that throwing sound economic principles out the window is the way forward.
Very true. I doubt anyone was going to pay for the building of a new stadium. Its just like getting a loan to build your own home - the club was always going to have to make the mortgage repayments and all stadium debt will be on the club id imagine and offset by any sponsorship deals etc we get.
And I dont see why anyone would have a problem with that either TBH as its just common place. We cant have everything - Free money for players and free money for a new stadium it doesnt just grow on trees.
Sure even the likes of Abrima-bitch wouldnt be willing to pay for a new stadium for the Chavs out of his own pocket id imagine.
