They will purchase 14 acres of land at Simonswood Playing Fields at the rear of the Academy in order to expand the size of the current site to around 60 acres.
The plans have been drawn up by London-based architects KSS, who designed Anfield’s new Main Stand.
The existing Academy buildings at Kirkby are set to remain and be refurbished with the first-team training centre built nearby.
The facilities will include a new covered artificial pitch, a pool and hydrotherapy complex, gymnasium and specialist sports rehabilitation suites.
Could there be any issues?
It depends what kind of reaction the scheme gets from Kirkby residents. With Liverpool buying up green space it could in theory go to a public inquiry if there was major opposition but that's unlikely to happen. Liverpool are taking steps to liaise with residents and address any concerns prior to the planning application being submitted.

Like Liverpool did with Anfield's Main Stand, they will invite people down to view the plans at a public consultation and explain exactly what they intend to do.

A key part of the project will involve Liverpool upgrading the remaining community football pitches at Simonswood Lane and building new changing facilities and a car park.

so it it Big Academy now?
 
Gerrard must be behind this clandestine move to get himself closer to the first team job he craves. Plus of course the players will be able to drive home to Formby in double-quick time.
