Kopsource Exclusive: Anfield to be Redeveloped
Liverpool’s new owners have decided to redevelop Anfield and scrap plans for a new stadium in Stanley Park that were set in motion by the previous regime, our sources understand.
FSG have been in town this week to discuss their long-term strategy for the club, with the stadium issue being the first priority for the Americans. Having seen the club fall hundreds of millions of pounds behind the likes of Manchester Utd and Arsenal in ticket revenue, John Henry et al have concluded that increasing capacity is an absolute must, although they do not see it imperative that the club start from scratch with a new build.
Previous plans to redevelop Anfield had been scrapped due to the impracticality of undergoing building work in such a densely populated area. Now, though, the council has given the green light for the project to go ahead after reassurances that the redevelopment will be less intrusive than was first thought. It will also see the surrounding area regenerated, which will appease the concerns of local residents and committees.
It is believed that the target capacity for the new stadium is between 65,000 and 70,000 seats, although that figure could drop to an initial 60,000 with a possible extension in the coming years. The finer details will be announced by the club once Henry has concluded the rest of his business on Merseyside, which includes tying down Kenny Dalglish and Steve Clarke on permanent contracts.
It was only last month that John Henry hinted that we would be staying at Anfield when he declared that the Kop was “unrivalled” and that it would be “hard to replicate that feeling anywhere else”. While some would have bought into his starry-eyed gushings and concurred, we saw it as something of a propaganda move by the shrewd businessman who we don’t believe ever had the intentions or, indeed, the money to build a new stadium from scratch.
