Thats one way of doing it i suppose. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/premier-league-article-slams-shameful-truth-liverpools-policy-123720872.html
If you agreed a price then tough titties. If you still own one of them ask for triple the value+
Can't see a massive issue, no-one has said you MUST leave. OK so area on decline but if don't like it and can sell your house for more than market value, who cares! Move 2 streets away and pocket the money. Not like anything has to happen right now, take a couple of years if need be.
I can't see the problem. Surely the remaining residents can negotiate a good price for their homes so they'll be able to move a couple of roads and be quids in.Thats one way of doing it i suppose. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/premier-league-article-slams-shameful-truth-liverpools-policy-123720872.html
Goldstone Lane?Wasnt that suggested at The Goldstone so that the East Terrace could be extended but the residents of Newtown(?) Rd
That would be shit, but where does it say anything about a compulsory purchase order? Anyone who chose to sell their house, and was happy with the price, has nothing to moan about. Anyone left should be able to sell for more than the market value would have been, because LFC aren't going to want to buy a half the houses and then stop, they'll have to accept paying a bit more for the rest.But my understanding is the problem is that you cannot sell for more than market value due to the compulsory purchase orders? Or am I missing something?

What a load of nonsense. If they make a low offer, people can reject it. They've not made the offers openly, as LFC, because they don't want people to suddenly ask for more than they'd be willing to sell to others for, and you can't blame them.Anfield: the victims, the anger and Liverpools shameful truth | David Conn
This article makes references to derisory figures being offered by the council via an agent to buy up houses.

If they started buying and boarding up houses in the 90s then I empathise with the local residents for the affect that would have on the area, but suggestions of it causing murders seems far fetched. The article seems poor quality to me.
Excellent link,thanks. David Conn has always at this form of sports reporting.

Agreed, the locals need to get support to make LFC either get tenants or offer a fair price for the other houses.However what right do LFC have to allow those still leaving in the area to live in a rundown locality ?
Anfield: the victims, the anger and Liverpools shameful truth | David Conn
This article makes references to derisory figures being offered by the council via an agent to buy up houses. It's a bit confusing though as it also says the council did not back compulsory purchasing. So they are seemingly buying up property for a scheme but not with CPOs.
Personally, I feel sorry for the residents. It's debatable whether the result of LFC's actions were planned or intentional but they seem guilty of helping turn Anfield into a depressing, horrible, desolate neighbourhood.
