Former chief executive Rick Parry expects Liverpool’s owners to build a new stadium rather than redevelop Anfield.
Fenway Sports Group are still considering their options but have admitted that increasing capacity at Anfield is fraught with problems.
Parry, who was the Reds’ chief executive in 2008 when plans to build a new ground were shelved due to a lack of cash, believes FSG will conclude that taking up the lease in Stanley Park is the best way forward.
“The new owners have been very smart in not making any false promises or predictions,” he said.
“Full marks to them for taking their time to make sure they come up with the right answer.
“Initially we wanted to develop Anfield but there were too many complications. The idea of building new actually became increasingly attractive the more we studied the options.
“I can’t imagine what has changed radically that would lead you easily to a different conclusion.”
