Steve Morgan and Norman Bettison

Here's me about to praise him, do a search on his name and this thread pops up....

 

Anyway donated 200mill to charity

Can't knock that, although it seems to be 200 million in his companies shares to his own foundation. I'm suspicious but if it helps those it's intended too good on him.

 

Wasn't the big thing about him that he wanted to build the parry bowl.

I think he wanted other people to build the Parry Bowl, just like he wanted other people to buy the club for him.

With a masonic handshake

 

Precisely.

[G Richards]

Nice gesture and good on him.

 

As for when he was interested in buying Liverpool, he would have invested more than Moores was able to, and he would have been much better than H and G proved. The 'Parry Bowl' got loads of stick, but here we are, more than a decade later, with a lop-sided, partially done stadium - better than what we had, no doubt, but the Anny Rd end needs attention, at a minimum.

 

There were several smaller bowl stadiums springing up at the time, so the Parry Bowl got a lot of stick. But there were also rumours that we were looking at the design of the Millennium stadium in Cardiff and doing something like that.

 

We will never know, of course, but it would be interesting to see where we would be today had Morgan bought us. We might have got the stadium sorted sooner, and the club established in the CL, and crucially before more oil money came into the game.

The fact that the likes of Sunderland and Newcastle had bigger grounds than us over the last 20 years is a joke and shows how bad we have been at ground development over the years

I don't think the Parry bowl was anything to do with him.

 

He was 'supposed' to be pro ground share. Or he refused to rule it out.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

That leaves him down to his last £680 million.

Bet he's counting the days til pay day

I liked the stadium plans that the shit owners showed us.

I'm still gutted we're not getting the big glass fantasy stadium we got shown that Cancer and AIDS was supposedly building.
