Liverpool FC miss funding deadline

[MrMichael]

this was taken from YNWA

First off the funding is there its the problem with the NWDA that is making everyone jittery. The Echo reporters have an interest in the NWDA they get all their info on local issues through them so they have become their mouth piece, have you heard one whisper from them over the delaying tactics used by the NWDA and its Everton friends on there? Has there been a named quote on the issue, no all you get is a senior official said this or that.

The tenders for the work on the New Anfield went out a couple of months ago and builders are being sussed out to take the job on, problem we have in the city is there is so much work top builders don't want to get involved in something that could be risky. Building stadiums is not the best way to get profit. The green light was lit a good while ago and unless one of the major investors pulls out at the last minute then it will go ahead.

Parry and Moores have done a sterling job keeping the thing alive, the NWDA is determined to throw a spanner in the works, it knows that sooner or later it will have to help dig out Everton who after new European legislation on stadiums becomes law in a year or two their s*** hole of a ground will cost a small fortune to get up to scratch. It's the Liverpool way of doing things not to go public until the deals are done and the ink is dry on the contracts.

There is no way any director of LFC will put forward a shared stadium. They would sooner move out to Knowsley than do that. Not just on the grounds of not wanting Everton but economically it would not make sense, no matter what the Echo and their Bluenose mates say.

My take on it is the NWDA are kicking up a fuss over their share of the funding LFC have the upper hand here if the stadium doesn't go through the regeneration of the Anfield area falls down. I think we are doing some brinkmanship, we have stopped dealing direct with the NWDA and maybe after the build starts there will be a change of personal at the quango that was prepared to give Everton over 10m in grants for the Kings Dock yet are kicking up a stink over 2m for us..

Very interesting.

The title of the Post article that started this thread off, "Liverpool FC miss funding deadline", despite openly saying in the article that we have till "midnight next Thursday" is ridiculously misleading....

the stadium issue is sucha pain. I just hope we pull our fingers out and get it sorted sooner rather than later.

I remember when we used to laugh at the Gooners and their stuttering plans for Ashburton. Oh how we laughed. ****.
