Liverpool FC have unveiled their plans for the redevelopment of Anfield. The first phase will see 8,500 seats added to the Main Stand, giving an overall capacity of 54,000. The £100m cost will be paid for in part by selling the naming rights to the stand – but not the stadium as a whole. The main funding for the project will come from bank financing.

The stadium design will incorporate a new tier built on top of the existing Main Stand. When complete it will feature a middle tier comprising executive boxes and lounges that will help Liverpool to increase their corporate revenue. The Hillsborough memorial will be relocated to a cloister.
Someone remarked recently that what mattered is not whether or not a club had foreign owners, but whether it had competent owners, and Fenway Sports Group have shown themselves to be competent on and off the pitch.
