Liverpool icon Alan Hansen believes a new stadium is key to the club restoring past glories.
Writing for LFC Weekly, Hansen opined: "I played at Anfield for 14 years. I love Anfield but, in all honesty, when I go to there now it is like being in a 1960s stadium.
"The seats in the Main Stand are old, wooden and rickety. It was a stand built for the 1960s and 1970s, not 2011, and we need to do something about it.
"We were all promised a lot by the previous owners and because they failed to deliver, particularly as far as the stadium goes, we have fallen further and further behind where we should be.
"I do not think Liverpool Football Club will get back to where it belongs until the stadium situation is resolved."
