Liverpool may be forced to rethink plans for their new stadium because of the crash in the American money markets, says The Sun.

The Reds unveiled designs for a new, 60,000-capacity venue on Stanley Park - just a stone's throw from Anfield - during their pre-season trip to Hong Kong.

But the economic situation in the States has meant a hike in the cost of development and the project is now likely to cost more than £400m.

Now co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks are set to order a re-design, to bring the price back down to little more than half that figure.

The stadium would remain with the same capacity, on the same site but would be a little less hi-tech.
