At every top club there is the internal conflict between the need to modernise and expand -- reaching out to new global fans and recruiting the world's best talent -- and maintaining their identity through a shared sense of history and culture, and Liverpool are no different.

Few changes have been as significant as the recent departure after more than 70 years from Melwood, the beloved training ground that was revolutionised by club's great manager Bill Shankly and became a part of club folklore, to a new state-of-the-art complex a few miles up the road in Kirkby.
