Liverpool have dismissed rumours they have shelved plans to move to a new stadium and are looking to expand Anfield.
Reports had suggested the club's American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett are struggling to raise the funds to finance a switch to a new ground in Stanley Park.
The Reds confess the New LFC Stadium has been affected by the current worldwide credit crunch, but a statement on the club's official website insists plans are still in place.
"The story is completely wrong" said a club spokesman.
"No-one has been asked to look at increasing the capacity of Anfield with a view to us staying at the present ground.
"Global market conditions may have delayed the project, but the club remains committed to building a new world class LFC stadium on the site in Stanley Park. Those plans have not changed."
