Kenny Dalglish says the decision over whether Liverpool will remain at Anfield or move to a new stadium is still up in the air.
The club’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, are keen to increase capacity but have not yet decided whether redeveloping the Reds’ present home or building a new ground is the way to go.
Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre insisted on Wednesday the club have ruled out renaming their iconic stadium, but are trying to find a “naming partner” in the event they move to a new venue.
When questioned over the situation, manager Dalglish said he believes both options could hold positives for the club.
Dalglish told the Reds’ official website: “It’s yet to be decided what they are going to do.
“For me – being a traditionalist – Anfield is a fantastic ground with fantastic memories. But unless you can get it up to the capacity that they want then we might have to move somewhere else.
“A new ground would have its own interesting points. There would be more people there, Liverpool would still be playing there and it would have the same romance to it.
“It’ll still be a fantastic stadium with fantastic support, so once they decide what they want to do we’ll know what is going to happen.
“But renaming a new stadium is something people do anyway. You don’t get many old stadiums renamed so I don’t think they’d do it with Anfield.”
