Liverpool are coming under increased scrutiny after it was revealed by the Guardian that the football club's policy of buying up houses around Anfield is leaving the local area in "dreadful decline".

The club have reportedly been systematically buying up homes in the streets surrounding the ground, leaving them empty, so they can be demolished to enable the Main Stand to be expanded to fit in with their redevelopment plans.

As a result of the club’s policy, the area has been "ruined" with families having to leave their homes, according to an article by reporter David Conn in the paper.

This is nothing new. Compulsory purchase orders happened around Goodison? I'm sure and Kirkby after the failed Tesco dome

Its the deliberate avoidance of compulsory purchase orders and deliberate attempt to drive house prices down that is the reason for the article
