How very sceptical of you. I would've thought you must know it's about better facilities for supporters and the fact that Anfield is a run-down shit-hole of a ground...
Though that may be true of the past, at the moment it's the other way round. Everton are playing some great attacking football at the moment, since Houllier was in charge Liverpool have been pretty dull.
The delays have absolutely NOTHING to do with Liverpool City Council which has supported the new stadium plan throughout. They have EVERYTHING to do with the fact that Liverpool can't find the money to pay for the ground. They couldn't find it before Gillette and Hicks - which incidently nearly ruined an associated multi-million pound regeneration programme for the whole of the Anfield area (with which the stadium ussue is bound up) because of the issue of matched European funding having to be spent by a certain date. Also when Gilette and Hicks bought the club, after planniong permission had been given for the stadium they did not like the design, insisted on a redesign which had to receive a new planning permission and was more expensive, and now can't afford the increased costs because of rising price of steel - largely due in its turn to increased demand from China.
