Liverpool Walton MP Peter Kilfoyle also condemned the latest delay. “I don’t have a great deal of confidence in the American owners, I never have done.
“The real losers are the people of Anfield who have been waiting patiently for this to happen for years.”
On Thursday night, the Daily Post contacted the club for confirmation or denial of rumours that the stadium was delayed but was told everything was proceeding to plan.
It is understood Gillett and Hicks had planned to make the announcement at the beginning of September but with the surfacing of speculation were forced to make it on the club’s website yesterday morning.
Last night Steven Broomhead, NWDA chief executive, said: “Today’s confirmation that the construction of Liverpool Football Club’s stadium will be subject to delay is very disappointing news, particularly because of the potential impact this will have on the regeneration of North Liverpool. As such, we are very keen to meet with the club to assess the implications of this decision and understand their future plans.
“The agency’s board will consider our proposed financial support in light of our discussions with the club.”
