Liverpool FC:Stadium Issues
Liverpool Football Club’s managing director Ian Ayre admitted that Liverpool will not be pressured into deciding on whether to redevelop Anfield or move to a new stadium.
He aslo added, “increasingly unlikely” that the club would be able to redevelop 45,000-seat Anfield and instead suggested a move to a new stadium at nearby Stanley Park could be a more realistic option.
“No amount of pressure will force Liverpool Football Club to make a decision quickly for the wrong reasons,” “With regards the refurbishment, the type of work that's been going on (in the last nine months) has been developing plans and drawings that look at what is possible with Anfield, and that has incorporated a study into the extension of the main stand and a study into the extension of the Anfield Road End.
“Both of these, if successful, could deliver a 60,000-plus seater, which would be great, but it comes with whole other challenges and whole other areas we have to investigate.”

Liverpool Asian Tour:Singapore Reporter's Blog
Liverpool in Asia
As I made my way out of Singapore's Changi Airport late on Sunday night, I was beginning my own new adventure: moving from England to live in Asia.
Many questions had crossed my mind regarding the move from being so far away from home to watching Liverpool games in the middle of the night!
But the first thing I saw was the passion for football from the locals, the airport was full of fans in replica jerseys from Liverpool, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United.
Already the fans' passion for football has been clear for all to see ahead of Liverpool's visit to Kuala Lumpur and then onto Singapore.
As I write this Liverpool will be busy preparing for their game against Guangdong in China but the buzz here in the short time I've been here has been about the visit in a week's time.
It may only be a training session but it's a chance for the many thousands of Liverpool fans to see their heroes up close in the flesh.
Many had already made plans to go to Kuala Lumpur for the game on Saturday but it's been a nice surprise to many to hear that the team are coming here for a training session.
It's slightly sad that Steven Gerrard, Pepe Reina and Glen Johnson are not part of the travelling party but plenty of stars will still be there like Jamie Carragher and Dirk Kuyt so it's nice to see the players come and it's great for the club's supporters here in Singapore.
Adding to that will be a first opportunity for many to see how our new signing Charlie Adam.
Just over 36 hours into my new career here in Singapore, it's clear to see football brings many together here. Liverpool and Manchester United are clearly the two biggest British teams here, with someone telling me a public screening of the clash of giants a couple of seasons ago brought together over 2,500 people when the local authorities were only expecting 500.
There is a rivalry between the two sets of fans as you'd expect and surprisingly it is as intense as you'd expect in Liverpool and Manchester. The fans here understand the game, they also get more access to matches then we'd be use to at home.
With 3pm kick-offs still not shown live on television in the UK, foreign audiences get that privilege and every Liverpool game is a massive occasion for the Singaporean Kop.
I've not yet had the chance to meet the local supporters clubs but I'm sure I'll understand the love for Liverpool even more once I get that opportunity.
In fact I may even get that opportunity next week when the Reds are in town with thousands in attendance to see a specially put on training session.
Fans will also be getting to see Kenny Dalglish at work up close. He's not just lifted the fans in Liverpool and the UK but also over here in Singapore. Hopefully he'll lift the club to where it rightfully belongs next season and in the years to come.

Gerrard To Miss Liverpool Asia Tour:
Liverpool's captian Steven Gerrard will not be with the squad for the Asian tour .
Liverpool has huge fan support in Asia and this summer's visit follows the hugely successful 10-day pre-season tour of Thailand and Singapore two years ago.
Manager Kenny Dalglish said: "Steven and the medical team have done fantastically well so far and they are in the final stages of getting him back to full training. I'm sure there will be supporters disappointed that Steven is unable to be with us in Asia, but I'm sure the same people will appreciate the importance of Steven giving himself the best possible opportunity of being fit to play against Sunderland on the opening day of the new campaign. Steven continuing his rehabilitation programme at Melwood is in everybody's long term interests."
Steven Gerrard added: "I'd really been looking forward to travelling out to China, Malaysia and Singapore and meeting first hand as many of our fans as possible, and I'm really sorry that I won't now be able to do that. All of us at the Club realise the incredible support we enjoy in these countries and how much it means to our supporters there. But after sitting down and talking with the medical experts and technical staff, it's been decided that the best course of action is for me to continue my rehabilitation programme at Melwood. It's disappointing I won't be with them, but I'm sure the lads who go out there will put a great show on for our fans."

Liverpool Transfer Targets 2011/12 : Kenny Dalglish
If you follow every rumour that is on the news then you would lose your mind. Liverpoolfc.tv had an article yesterday where they listed 66 players that we were linked with in the month of June. Some of the players on that list are realistic prospects for Liverpool whilst some are just laughable.Hope we find some good players to sign this summer.
He said,“I wouldn’t mention anyone as a target for us,We are obviously trying to bring people in and people are trying to take players from us. We are not going to speculate and be disrespectful and talk about other people at other clubs. Every manager I’ve seen interviewed on television has said exactly the same thing. That’s the way it should be.”
YNWA
(Why the Fans of Liverpool are called Kopites?)
In the year 1906, Editor Ernest Edwards from Liverpool Echo sports stated of a new open-air embankment at Anfield: "This huge wall of earth has been termed 'Spion Kop', and no doubt this apt name will always be used in future in referring to this spot" and this name was formally adopted in 1928 upon construction of a roof over the kop. It is thought to be the first terrace officially named Spion Kop.
"Kopites" is a name given to the supporters of Liverpool Football Club which refers to the fans who once stood, and now sit, on the Kop at Anfield.
