Liverpool CEO Ian Ayre says this idea will not be a smart investment for the club

Liverpool’s chief executive Ian Ayre has termed the next move in the redevelopment of the club’s home ground, Anfield, as one that is “not a smart investment for the business”.

After the recent expansion of the Main Stand which increased the ground’s capacity to a little more than 54,000, the Reds have outlined plans for further expansion with the next move set to extend the capacity of the Anfield Road Stand by 4,800.

But Ayre, in a meeting with Liverpool Supporters’ Committee (LSC), made it clear that any further redevelopment of Anfield could set the club back from a business perspective.
