Football deal-maker puts Liverpool/Everton shared stadium back on the agenda

FOOTBALL finance chaser Keith Harris believes that a shared stadium could be the answer to Everton and Liverpool’s financial problems.

With Everton awaiting the outcome of a government inquiry into their stadium plans, and Liverpool’s stadium project put on hold during the worldwide credit crisis, Harris believes that a San Siro style shared stadium offers a perfect solution.

“The controversial thing to suggest, which no-one will do, is the notion that maybe the city of Liverpool could have one stadium,” he said.

“Why not?

“Technology today can turn a stadium from blue to red in the flick of a switch.

“Why not have a Liverpool-Everton stadium and allow them to share? Then you take away with one stroke one of the big issues, which is how do you finance £300m of new stadium build?
