LIVERPOOL FC has applied for planning permission to put up a marquee behind Anfield to provide corporate hospitality for 500 people. The marquee will be put on club-owned derelict land, once occupied by homes, in Anfield Road for two years. It will address the club’s need to expand its corporate hospitality, while it continues to mull over whether to move to a new stadium or stay at Anfield. The club insists it is getting close to making a decision. Planning permission still exists to build the stadium designed by Manchester architects AFL but obtaining a lucrative naming rights deal is crucial to subsidising the £300m project. AFL are also behind the club’s planning application for the marquee.

I expect better from you Slick. Kenny deserves leeway, I don't get anyone who wouldn't agree.

We lost our most important player for the bulk of the season.
We won a trophy.
Got back into Europe.
Got to another final.
Ridiculously unfortunate throughout the season.
Most importantly, it was his first full season back at the club.
Not hero worship. Common sense.

Borini who signed from Roma and reached the final of Euro 2012 with Italy, was not due to report for duty until Aug 1 but he will now link up with Liverpool next week when Andy Carroll and the rest of the Anfield England internationals return. Liverpool's new manager Brendan Rodgers arrived in Boston on Monday for the pre-season tour and is looking forward to Borini's arrival early next week. "Fabio will come out next week with the England players, and that's a great demonstration of his commitment to Liverpool." Rodgers said. "He was involved with Italy right the way through to the (Euro 2012) final and I'd given him the time off, like the others – four weeks. "He was due to come back on August 1 but he made it very clear when he came that he wanted to get back and train with the group. Related Articles "We've agreed that he'll come out next week and we're looking forward to seeing him. '"He is very determined and committed to doing well and I'm sure he'll play some part in some of the games once he's over here." Rodgers added on Liverpool's website: "They are getting an opportunity. It's important for a young player, all you ask for is an opportunity. "Even in pre-season games, they can plant a seed in the manager's mind and in supporters' minds of their qualities. "It's a great opportunity for me to look at them close hand, and so far they've done very well and adapted very well to the training and the work. "Alongside talent, the biggest thing for me in young players is personality. It's having the personality to play, and having that courage. Not all young players are ready to play for such a prestigious club as Liverpool. It takes time. "For me, the age isn't a barrier. If they're good enough, if they have the personality and the talent, then I'm always willing to put them in." Liverpool will open their tour against Toronto FC at the Toronto Blue Jays’ Rogers Centre and will meet Roma at Boston's Fenway Park. The last game of the three match tour will pit the Reds against Tottenham Hotspur in Baltimore.

Jaxen Purring Socket wrote: » I would rather see a compromise between the passing game and more direct game to be honest, one which Carroll would very much be a part off. Trying to score the perfect goal like Arsenal, Barca etc do can be mind numbingly frustrating, there is a lot to be said for mixing things up imo.

Pretty hilarious we're now hearing from some we don't need a plan B considering a lack of 1 was one of the invented criticisms thrown at Kenny last season. Now we don't need one though, such is the belief in the managers new style of play. You actually couldn't make it up!
