It's pointless dick waving.
I disagree. It is about aspiration, being the best. Something that we have largely lost in the past quarter of a century.
A Sky generation has been seduced by specious nonsense from avaricious FD's and CEO's , with one eye on the next balance sheet, and a blind eye to posterity.
LFC is still the best supported English club by historic home average attendance, yet our capacity has steadily eroded over the years as football attendances generally have risen, as have the capacities of our competitors to accommodate them. That legacy is being squandered by FSG, and all the post-Taylor LFC Boards.
Why does the Main Stand have to pay for itself in under five years? Why does the ARE have to pay for itself in fifteen?
Rafa walks away with £12m, we lose £15m on the Carroll sale, we lose £6m on Aquilani, and nobody blinks - but invest in a new stand which pays us over forty to fifty years and the amateur accountants have heart failure.
The Main Stand now puts us on a par with Championship Newcastle, but behind West Ham, Arsenal, and shortly Spurs then West Ham. If I thought we couldn't fill an expanded ARE then I would accept that. But we can, and I don't.
What should we do? Wait until we know the exact capacities at the new WHL and new Stamford Bridge - and build a thousand seats more. That would take us up to second in the capacities rankings- exactly where we should be.
