LIVERPOOL FC chief executive Rick Parry is insisting the club's new stadium plans for Stanley Park will not collapse.
Doubts have been expressed over the scheme to replace Anfield with a 60,000-capacity stadium as the cost is claimed to have spiralled to nearly £190m.
Liverpool must also come up with proof they have raised the money for the new ground by the end of the month, or they could lose grants totalling almost £20m to cover the new stadium's outside infrastructure from the EU and the Northwest Development Agency.
Liverpool have been in lengthy negotiations to raise the capital from the private sector, and Parry, in a BBC Five Live interview, said: "There is a lot of work going on and the situation is coming to a head relatively soon.
"We are certainly looking at a matter of weeks and it is still something we are determined to bring off. Too much work has gone into it for us to fail at this hurdle."
