Chief executive says club in 'holding pattern' after main contractor filed administration notice and provides update on next home game
Liverpool chief executive Billy Hogan has provided a detailed update on the situation surrounding work on the club's stalled Anfield Road stand, and how it will impact supporters.
Speaking about the events of the past few days, Mr Hogan said: "On Thursday morning, essentially Buckingham put their notice in for their intention to file for administration, so that came just a couple of days before the Bournemouth match. Mr Hogan said the club will work with Buckingham and "any other contractors who may be appointed in the future" to retain any of the existing jobs and expertise which have been part of the project so far.
"It’s important that we don’t want to set any false expectations. We wanted to make sure that we provided an update. We announced a couple of weeks ago that we were going to be working through a phased opening [and] that plan remains." Mr Hogan added: "So, that’s still our intention. Obviously we talked about having the stand fully open in October, clearly we have discussed the uncertainly that this announcement creates. We are still aiming for October but what we’re working through now is to put a plan in place.
He added: "By having that reduced capacity for the Villa game, that will mean some reductions in allocations across the stadium but we’re really working and looking to make the impact minimal."
