Liverpool legend Keegan cannot see title challenge coming for another five years

Liverpool legend Kevin Keegan believes they're still five years away from challenging for the title.

The former Anfield hero also believes they must quit their famous stadium to compete at the top of the Premier League.

He said: "I think the Liverpool squad is still way, way short. Unless huge investment comes in, I'd be amazed if Liverpool were to win the league championship in the next five years.

"You have to say the squad they have now is the poorest they have had in at least five years.

"They are losing ground on their rivals by the minute, with only 40,000 coming into Anfield and not being in the Champions League.

"They need to find £300 million for a new stadium on top of all the rebuilding of the squad. They really have to seriously think of this new stadium and how they finance it.

"They need to get another 15,000 to 20,000 people in there so they can at least begin to compete with Manchester United on a commercial level. It saddens me to say it but they have to move from Anfield."
