The infrastructure of stadium and trainingcentre doesn't have to take 10 years. I did expect them to get some decitions made so we could get the ball rolling by now. Just because you haven't heard that things are happening, doesn't mean things aren't happening. Things are happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were saying this re the SD position the day before we appointed Mitchell. Think one day we are going to get an out of the blue huge update.

Pancrate1892 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 5 hours ago, Toon No9 said: What's happening with the expansion of SJP(or to build a new stadium)? And what's happening with the new state of the art training centre? It's soon 3 years since the takeover and no desition has been made yet on either. I thought they would work at a higher pace with theese questions. Probably read everything on here and thought let's not bother Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could even argue 4 or 5 years, as the had all that time before they were approved by the Premier League to look into infrastructure developments.

timeEd32 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 FSG bought Liverpool in October of 2010. Henry announced in early 2011 they wanted to stay at Anfield. It wasn't until April of 2014 that plans were released for the redevelopment of the Main Stand. Work began at the end of 2014. That's despite 1) an entire design and agreement for a new stadium being readily available (i.e. there was a known alternative); 2) FSG already having done this exact thing with Fenway Park in Boston; 3) Liverpool buying up land around the stadium beginning in 2000, a decade before FSG even showed up. Mike Ashley sat on his hands for 14 years. Actually, that's not true - he sold land around the stadium, actively making this more difficult. I don't even know what's real or fake angst in this thread anymore, but people really need some patience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only point I'd mention in relation to FSG is that they haven't got the deep pockets PIF have, if they really want to flex they will flex and shit will just get done quicker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But our financial situation isn't as simple as PIF writing a £600m check either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago SJP needs to get ready for the next Euros. Surely we'll need to start doing something soon if there are any plans to upgrade or build somewhere else? 4 years ain't that long. Or we can just keep it how it is (or however it will look like after anither 4 years). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll spend the next 4 years doing fans surveys, coming up with proposed designs/plans, and going through the panning process. If SJP is being rebuilt or worked on, then the wrecking ball will be ready to go as soon as the Euro’s are over. That is if option C isn’t used.

Wandy Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago I had a walk around the entire stadium yesterday with a friend who was visiting from abroad. Fucking hell the exterior of the car park behind the Leazes end is in a shambolic state. Scruffy as fuck and green stains all over the place, it was actually pretty embarrassing to witness. The place needs a massive, massive exterior upgrade at the very least as the whole stadium just looks generally tired & dated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the change in boardroom increases the chances of us moving, it will be much more about the bottom line and zero emotion involved now. I think in many ways a hard nosed approach to the club is needed on many fronts to make us winners going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Yes fans can have say in what they want and what should be preserved but if sticking with that mentality, we'll never get anywhere, no matter how rich our owners are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
