New stadium update...

[sean_lfc]

What next from G & H (via Parry)? I for one would not be surprised if they go back on their word and look at a ground share again. Nothing surprises me now - as far as I am concerned they have lost any integrity they had.

Come on, that's pure toys-pram stuff. We have no idea what's going so to come out with melodramatic non-sense such as just confirms that the Media seem to win in these type of situations. Molehill > Mountain...

Not for 70 thousand we don't

Also if we change the designs again, we would new permissions anyway.

I loved the spaceship, but not at any price.
200 mill lower is more important, especially if some of that money saved will go into the team...

That's sensible. I like.

Regardless of how good/bad the "other" stadium turns out to be I have made my decision that the Yanks are not good caretakers of my wonderful football club and I want them out. Sooner rather than later ideally.

Its all the bad publicity, going back on their word, giving it all the bollix then ****ing making us all look like cunts when they cant deliver.

**** them.

I support Liverpool and Rafa, not the americans one iota.

RS4 was spot, as was Jan Erik who posted the stuff that GG said last night as his mate had been at the meeting.

Does anyone have a link to this...as i have not seen what he said, or can someone sum it up for me

[sonsofthedesert]

Parry said: “We are now considering two schemes but the stadium will be a 70,000 seater."

So one is RS4's mate the other could be a revamp by the Dallas architects.

This will be it, see how much HKS can take off the design to get the price right, this if possible could speed up the process as it would be an application for an amendmant to the approved design.

The bloody construction process hasn't even gone underway yet you believe this is 'very unlikely'.

Could you back that up?

Well they should have cut out all this bravado when they revealed the stadium and harped on about getting the best players etc etc.

This stadium will be our home for the next 100 years, so we have to get it right. If they cannot deliver the very best they should hold the plans and allow someone who can invest come on board.

I would rather wait a few more years and let the team take priority in terms of finance, then when we can get the RIGHT level of investment we can build the mother of all stadiums.

Well dumb and dumber are already in a **** load of debt and changing the stadium designs will help them make sure the debt doesn't go spiraling out of control. I can't see them throwing money at the club for new 'top class' players in Jan or the summer.

Sorry, but that's bollocks and it just goes to show we don't have the any clue what's going on and people are using the media's portrayal of the whole situation as their basis for arguing, which is total bull**** as we all know and always keep saying.

'It's all bad publicity' <- who makes things 'public'? The press do...says it all for me.

'Making us look like cunts' by what...doing what's best for the club and not wasting £200m pounds on useless steel? If you recall correctly, the initial planning application way back in October 2003 was submitted with an £80m, 60000 seater design. These costs have obviously over time spiralled, however now £200m pounds are what, loose change?

So if the Americans wasted £200m pounds on bull**** and didn't 'go back on their word' (everyone can make mistakes, granted maybe the new design shouldn't have been presented with such aplomb and I agree that it makes us look a little silly, but ultimately I give 100% a **** about our team and not what the other teams/fans/press think about us), then they would be better owners?

Gimme a break

very unlikely imo.

On the contrary, I would say it is very likely.

I very much doubt the Yanks plan to build a new stadium without also investing in players to perform there.

Infact, I would guess that was the reason why the spaceship plan was shelved in the first place.

The way you are wording it you expect Arbramovich style, bottomless barrel-like funding, which will NEVER ever happen. We should be glad we've got investment sorted, H&G should not be hounded by their own the way they have been, just because of the way the press have made this look like the club's in turmoil and we're about to fold and everything's '****ED'...


Furthermore, your stance that the Americans should just leave after 6 months in charge smacks of knee-jerk and toys-pram stuff. Melodramatic to the hilt, you have no idea of the vibe inside Anfield, better yet at boardroom level.

Yet people continue to believe everything the press have written as gospel. Even with Rafa coming out and saying 'Yea, we're getting things sorted' people continue to say 'No smoke without fire' etc. Takes the piss
