Rick Parry Quotes

"We are always encouraged when players say they want to join Liverpool."

"But as we have consistently pointed out, this is much more than just a new ground for Liverpool Football Club. It has always been about the regeneration of north Liverpool and the benefits it will bring to a local community that desperately needs them."

"We welcome the decision to allow us in the competition next season. We wish to express our thanks to all those who supported us and campaigned on our behalf."

"We're obviously delighted. It's a combination of three years of a lot of hard work and a vindication and endorsement of the policy we adopted that we had to be very much a part of the community plan. We couldn't go ahead in isolation. I think the outcome will be very exciting, not just for us, but for North Liverpool as a whole if the whole plan comes together."
