Kings Dock was a Council initiative. They approached EFC. It was to be a multi-purpose arena and two club's using it would have precluded other events. EFC were in no position to bring in LFC.
EFC could have afforded it - poor management. the cost went up to £50K plus, but still a bargain. Banks would throw money at you for that project.
It was a good thing as that stadium would have been totally out of place on that waterfront. The smaller arena is out of place and an eyesore right now. God knows what it would have been like. A blessing in disguise that the project fell through. Imagine all the litter in the docks and river!!!!
I can't see both clubs going back now, they are too far down the line to rip everything up and start all over again, even if it is only stubborn pride that takes Liverpool in particular close to the abyss.

As for the Kings Dock and other events being precluded, that would have been well funny if Everton had to call a game off because of a Spice Girls concert
