Alan Hansen played for Liverpool Football Club for 14 years. He is now one of the most respected pundits in the game and says exactly what he thinks. But he still has LFC at heart.
This week, in his exclusive LFC Weekly column, Hansen reveals what he believes needs to happen both on and off the pitch in 2011 at Liverpool FC.
The former Reds skipper passionately believes that building a new stadium - or redeveloping Anfield - is absolutely central to our hopes of future success.
"Everyone has an opinion on what needs to be done to restore Liverpool FC to its former glories. For me, the big thing is the stadium situation.
"It is over 10 years since a move from Anfield to the new LFC stadium on Stanley Park was first suggested and we are still waiting for it to happen.
"I played at Anfield for 14 years. I love Anfield but, in all honesty, when I go to there now it is like being in a 1960s stadium.
"The seats in the Main Stand are old, wooden and rickety. It was a stand built for the 1960s and 1970s, not 2011, and we need to do something about it.
"We were all promised a lot by the previous owners and because they failed to deliver, particularly as far as the stadium goes, we have fallen further and further behind where we should be.
"I do not think Liverpool Football Club will get back to where it belongs until the stadium situation is resolved."
