New Everton Stadium

[The Esk]

All the more reason we need to grab the closest possible dock spot we can to the city.

Curious to know what @The Esk makes of this.

From what I know of Fenway (I met them several times last year) they're very unlikely to want to sell Liverpool at this moment in time, and I can't see a Chinese group writing off the enormous investment that's going into the redevelopment of Anfield, so both in terms of a takeover and a stadium on the waterfront, both are non-starters in my opinion.

It might make sense for Sinofortone to take a minority stake, say 30%, as other Chinese groups have done across the continent, but I'd stress Fenway do not seem willing sellers at this time.

I think the thing we should be all excited about is the fact that our new owner is ready to put big money into the team, manager and training facility and is hoping to make a real mark in the game. When doing this he is going to want a real splash with the stadium, we will not be looking at a quickly put together off the shelf stadium design.
I think it will be a really spectacular plan that will really put us on the map

No more cheap quick fix options, can't wait for the plans to be revealed.

I want everybody in the league to be very jealous indeed, and wish they weren't playing inside a pre-fab box.

The Chinese group I understand had/have been in discussions with our club at least once over the last year or two.

You wonder if perhaps the story has the right Liverpool club.

You mean Riberpool......

For me, Bill Kenwright not securing the Kings dock was his biggest mistake in charge and we missed the boat big time and never really recovered. To be even talking about the possibility of a stadium on the banks of the royal blue Mersey is quite frankly unbelievable. All these failed ground moves over the years and we end up with what we all wanted in the first place! Maybe a new dawn is finally upon us. We have finally been woken up

Actually when the Kings dock debate was happening, there was a very sizeable part of the fan base that didn't want to move.........

An investment group supported by the Chinese state government is attempting to purchase Liverpool for £700million, The Independent can reveal.

It has emerged that Liverpool’s owners Fenway Sports Group have been aware of the proposal from SinoFortone since March.

SinoFortone, who are fronted by managing director Peter Zhang, has committed £5.2billion towards new projects in the UK over the last 12 months.

They have already explored the potential of building a new stadium in the dockland area of Liverpool, appreciating that Anfield’s new main stand will be completed in September.

What absolute garbage. As if a new potential investor would write off a development of £150m that hasn't even been opened yet, and provides the incremental revenue stream that is any investors core concern.

Smacks of some Kopite adding his own spin to some genuine interest by the Chinese in the RS.

With regard to Fenway, they'll take their ROI via an exit strategy, but not quite yet, as the value of their asset is not yet at its potential peak.

Edit: just realised it is written by a Kopite - Simon Hughes. Obviously felt the bile rising when he'd seen the rumours of our potential development and couldn't help himself

Tell Sinofortone there is a possible 30% stake in a certain London club available !!

Kopites are really dreading us getting a dockside stadium.
I think we might just see a mass harakiri if it does come off.

What's the jist of that letter?, the only concerning thing is I think peel and the council would be much more open to having LFC have a waterfront stadium

That letter reckons they want to build a new stadium on the dock and invest in Anfield at the same time.
