Liverpool To Wait Another Year To Get Green Light For £200m Anfield Revamp

Liverpool will have to wait for another year before being given the green light for the long-awaited £200m redevelopment of Anfield.

The earliest the Reds can reportedly look to complete the works at their ground will be the start of the 2014-15 season, given that the refurbishment of the stadium will take at least two years.

According to News of the World, Fenway Sports Group are also evaluating the possibility of increasing the stadium’s capacity from 45,000 to 65,000 after owner John W. Henry announced in November that his final decisions on the developments will be made "within a year."

The owners have reportedly been distancing themselves from two existing approved plans.

The one proposed by AFL architects is said to be too old while previous owner Tom Hicks’ plan is too expensive a blueprint for the redevelopment.
