Premier League - Liverpool deny stadium talk

Eurosport - Mon, 13 Oct 11:33:00 2008

Liverpool have dismissed rumours that they have shelved plans to move to a new stadium and are looking to expand Anfield.

2008 Anfield Liverpool - 0

Reports suggested owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett were struggling to raise the funds to finance a switch to a new ground in Stanley Park.

And while the Reds confess the new stadium has been delayed by the current worldwide credit crunch, they also make it clear that the plans are still in place.

"The story is completely wrong," said a club spokesman.

"No-one has been asked to look at increasing the capacity of Anfield with a view to us staying at the present ground.

"Global market conditions may have delayed the project, but the club remains committed to building a new world-class LFC stadium on the site in Stanley Park.

"Those plans have not changed."

  6. This American takeover has been a shambles and Parry must take the blame. Hicks and Gillett are not willing to risk their own money and are plunging the club deeper into debt. M. Shaw
