Liverpool's new stadium delayed until 2018
With Old Trafford able to hold 76,000 supporters and Arsenal moving to their new 60,000 seater stadium in 2006 it was difficult to comprehend, or accept, the announcement by Christian Purslow, Liverpool's Managing Director, that the construction of Liverpool's new 60,000 seater stadium in Stanley Park has been delayed until after the global financial situation has stabilized i.e when they're able to borrow the money. Apparently the good news is that the showcase stadium may be completed by 2018, ready for possible World Cup matches should England be successful in their bid to host the tournament. Great to hear the motivation to get the ground completed has nothing to do with the financial well being of Liverpool FC and improving facilities for its supporters but to provide a venue for world cup matches.
We know Gillett & Hick's wont be investing one red cent of their own money into the club so once again the question is what value do these two bring to Liverpool Football Club and how much are they damaging the future success of the club? The efforts of 'ShareLiverpoolFC' and their bid to have the club owned by supporters now becomes even more critical if we are to avoid this kind of mis-management continuing.

these 2 yanks are murdering the club, get them out at all costs.....
These 2 Americans know nothing about Liverpool FC. They've bought the club to fill their own pockets. They do not care for the supporters or the well being of the club. The most important thing for them is to make money. I really think they need to sell the club to someone else. I wonder when the finacial drought at Liverpool will ever end.
the 2 yanks it's just a virus they will not get out the club
We know the 2 yanks arn't going to build us the new stadium they promised us so why dont we ask our owners to do it the BANKS!!,as we know these institutions like to make quick easy money so now is the time to campaign the banks to build the Stadium our club and fans deserve and squeeze the 2yanks out the picture.The banks will make there money by leaseing the stadium back to us,its a better idea than leaving them 2 free loader's in charge!!!!!!!!!!!
They have just missed the best chance to topple United by the lack of funding for Rafa - we are NO way on a level playing field in terms of spending.... even Spurs and Villa have more cash.
They need to go before January before it is too late.
Come in DIC - please!!!!!!!
