LFC HOUSING DEAL
The club would not indicate to the ECHO whether it intended to sell the properties to the council or hand them over.
Plans seen by the ECHO suggest that the land will be grassed over as part of the wider regeneration of the Rockfield residential area which will cost around £6m and create around 3,000 'construction weeks' of work for local labourers.  Source: The Triangle
The council is intending to press ahead with the refurbishment or demolition of around 250 properties in the area - more than half of which are empty. Loans of up to £40,000 will be available to homeowners to revamp their homes.
City housing cabinet member Cllr Annie 0'Byrne said the regeneration would go ahead whether LFC stayed or went. Cllr O'Byrne added: "We have stated that Anfield is our number one priority. "The club is one of the key stakeholders in the area and we are confident that they will work with us." Residents who live in refurbished properties in nearby Tancred Road said they were pleased something would be done to improve the area. They said their homes had lost up to £50,000 in value because of the dereliction they lived amongst. John Nolan, chair of the Rockfield Residents Association, said: "We are happy they're going to make progress. "The state of the area has not only been depressing house prices but people's lives as well." An LFC spokesman said: "We have been consulted on the regeneration plans by Liverpool council. "As always we remain collaborative and supportive of any initiatives to improve our local area, but discussions at this stage would be far too preliminary to comment further. "We remain committed to supporting our local community in all areas." 
If you are unfortunate enough to live within the estimated boundary lines "the promised land" surrounding Anfield stadium, you are living in an expansion zone and not a regeneration zone. Despite what you may have read in the press or heard in official sound bites: LFC have funded the city council's plans to oust us from our homes under the dubious pretense of regeneration, because of its (LFC) long term desire to expand into your living rooms.
To put it simply, the club want to increase revenue, the city council want's it's 999 year ground rent and the residents, get well and truly shafted by both of them.
