Good morning lads.
I haven't been on for a while but I wanted to get your thoughts on a few things.
On the new stadium front, I personally think the docks would be great. With Peel Holdings development in and around the dock land area, we could have a stunning stadium surrounded by skyscrapers and the old redeveloped warehouses. It would look something special.
With Mayor Anderson saying we could have the keys in three years, surely this must be in advanced stages of any deal. The stadium will sure take 2-3 years to build so if we where to have keys within 3 years, surely a spade will have to be in the ground within a six month period?!
It's funny now that we have a chance to help Liverpool City Council host "The Games" (I forget which games it is) they are suddenly backing us a the land is available. It probably helps that we have a new rich owner. Surely this land was and has been available for a number of years.
Let me know your thoughts lads and ladies.
{Ed025's Note - the docks would be a great choice for me as well Ai, it encapsulates the history of the city and transport links would be so much easier mate..

I agree Al, a stadium on the docks built with the capacity for hosting the commonwealth games with retractable seating, wow, must have 60,000 plus capacity, Koppites saying we wouldn't fill it too, if West Ham have 51,000 season tickets with 30,000 on the waiting list then we could easily fill it, first time I have ever been confident that it will happen too, i'm actually 100% certain it will with Mr Moshiri at the helm, great times ahead.
Also apparently we are interviewing Pellegrini now, too, lots of reports that we have interviewed a number of people with some top names mentioned, it's great that we are doing this properly with no knee jerk reactions, patience Blues that's all we need, we have Mr Moshiri in charge now and I've said it before, you never meet a daft self made Billionaire, never get bored of that "Billionaire".
finally I was never for bringing Rooney back, not because he left us as that needed to happen to keep us in the league, I was against it because he is nearing the end and too slow for a front guy now, change of mind here, he is perfect for our midfield and would get 3-5 years out of him at the top level, big statement from Mr Moshiri if he brought the lad home as we have all forgiven him and no doubting he is a blue, there is no love from him for Utd and that shows so much, just a bank balance for him, its a shame as he will never be a Utd legend and has probably won and done more than most of their legends, bet he would take a 50% pay cut too, drop in our midfield for a few years then China for a retirement pay day.

I agree regarding Rooney Murf. Looks mustard in midfield.

Can you just imagine what having Rooney in the dressing room would be like for the 4 kids we had out against Norwich.
I also think that just by putting on the shirt we would get an extra 10%.

we would get more than an extra 10% Ace.

Know his brother and he said the abuse the fans gave in particular his family especially in the begging he would never play for us again and would only go America for a final pay day which makes sense although Steven Gerrard might persuade him otherwise.
{Ed025's Note - i donk know why he would need a final pay day mike, the guy earns more in an hour than most of us do in a month mate..
