ok if we had Roman in charge, who cares, but if there is a significant difference between the costs of the two, say 50m, given our current crisis Id rather we saved 50m. I dont want to groundshare, but in my mind, as events have moved on, Id rather we were in position than the one were in now. We'd save hundreds of millions of pounds, surely a good thing ?

And to clarify, it was the really shit, old Boateng and not the young one for Spurs.

Just to avoid any misunderstandings.

Sorry mate just ca'nt go down the ground share road with you.
But I think were alot nearer to it than some people might think.
If they ever get started were going to have a very expensive hole in the park.What happens if the fat controller struggles to get the extra money to carry on the build. ?
The first thing he's dose is look for someone to split the cost with.

He's right on the phone to Bill the bender.
Dont forget it was Gillett who made promises about not sharing.
Hicks as we all know will deal with the Devil at the right price.
The Devil in this case being Bill the bender.

Sorry, but I'll never want to grounshare with the Blushite. I'd rather stay at Anfield and not have a new stadium than go down that route.

Ah, groundshare and the Yanks, that would be the absolute worst scenario. No way jose and Id be right with you there. In hindsight, looking over this whole mess and what we want from the club, IMHO groundsharing may not have been the worst outcome. Increased reveune, with the risk halved. No sell out to yanks or Dubai or anywhere. In those circumstances, someone like Miskelly or even Steve Morgan could easily have stumped up the money to buy us and players. Not an ideal scenario, but from where Im sitting, a brand shiny new, WOW stadium, the vehicle to take us forward, is both a noose around our necks and our salvation.

And scrap for 4th with Villa, Citeh, dem Blues and Portsmouth ?

Id love to stay at Anfield, but unless we increase capacity, it just a non starter if we want to move forward.

We can't stay anyway because we probably wouldn't be able to meet the interest payments on the loans. At this moment in time, it's very fucking depressing, but we can't just give in.

Aren't we scrapping for 4th at the moment?

I'd sooner slit my throat than share with them bastards. It may be ok for you but you wont have them on your doorstep.

Yes we are and like you have pointed out, we are on a real tightrope in terms of funding the debt we now have. Thats exactly my point and why, groundshare, with no Yanks, no sell out other than to LFC people and it would ave been a better option, in hindsight.

So instead of having leveraged weetabix, we would have had Morgan or Miskelly, no debts, cash for players and men in charge who loved the club.

When they called in the second design because they said it was too expensive, they said the 'new' design (the latest HKS one, which we have now), would have the best elements of both designs. This looks like the Parrybowl with a 'kop' at one end. Not impressed to be honest.

If you've ever been to Anfield on a none match day its Still quite a busy place.
Tourists/coach loads of school kids doing the tour the whole package.
Go over the park and you'll see the difference.
Ground share and we'd be giving them a helping hand.
The only help I want to give those cunts is moving to Kirkby. The sooner the fucking better.

Again I understand that, but if its simply pride, well thats not putting LFcs best interests at heart is it. Although of course I acknowledge its different for me as an ooter day to day, the financial and playing future of the club should be more important that any pride issues.

What Id say is that on a scale of 1 to 10, groundsharing, enabling us to contineu to work in the 'Liverpool Way', with LFC men running the club etc, is slightly higher on that scale, for me, than where we are now.
