Financially it would make sense but on all other counts it would be a disastrous failure. Moyes is naively and somewhat stupidly claiming that the red half of the city would be less enthusiastic than the blue side with regards to a ground share. I know several very bitter middle aged intelligent Everton supporters that would not be seen dead in Anfield even for a derby match. Moyes has once again demonstrated that he is prepared to accept compromise. Does he even understand what the Everton motto is supposed to mean?

The only viable alternative is sharing with Everton but the fans are so much against it that it will hurt both clubs. Ours the most since we are loosing momentum and the other top clubs are pulling ahead. We may mock Everton all we want but they actuall hold the key for our clubs survival as a top club.
As I said earlier. We build and own the stadium and they rent it from us. This way we can also use it for other things without loosing other revenue possibilities like concerts etc.

The other point is whilst we cant compete with London or Manchester in terms of population and access to wealth, we DO have to compete with them in transfer fees and wages when faced competing for the same players. Either we find the cash or accept we're second tier.
We have to compete and have to get on with it and a 43,000 seat stadium is an obvious handicap.

No whopperdome. No generic soulless bowl. Arsenal may have a nice modern facility but it is devoid of any identity, zero character... if you stood in the middle of the pitch and looked around you could be in any stadium in the world.
Hopefully we get clearance to extend both Anfield rd and Main stands... bring the capacity up towards 60 thousand. That is what we want.
