This analysis takes a very bleak view of the state of affairs and prospects for Liverpool. It is possibly too downbeat and the writer does reveal that he visited Anfield recently as a West Ham fan. Of course, some of the points are valid. Liverpool does badly need a new stadium to secure its future, although some of fhe comments made about the state of Anfield, a stadium that is rivalled for atmosphere by very few others, seem a little harsh. There has been a long history of mismangement at the club, culminating in the present owners.
As the author claims, Hicks and Gillett could still impede the sale by demanding too high a price for the club. Howver, the £800m figure referred to here is surely the cost of buying the club plus building the new stadium. £500m is not an excessive price if one takes into account that one would be buying one of the most evocative brands in world football which should command a premium price. Liverpool fans deserve better than they have had and they may get it before too long.
