Everton Head Honcho, Robert Elstone, raised talk of a possible 'ground sharing' situation with Liverpool FC.

“A shared stadium is an option perhaps if it’s affordable,” said Elstone. “Where we can raise money, potentially Liverpool will have to contribute to that. Liverpool City Council perhaps might need to find some money. Our history is one of creation and innovation and, if we’re the first major English club to look at sharing , we’re not scared of those decisions.”

However, Liverpool cheif, Christian Purslow, is known to have denied Elstone of his proposal of clubbing together. : [

Planning permission has been granted for Liverpool’s blueprint, which has already cost £18million for feasibility studies and improvements to the local area. Work ground to another frustrating halt in September 2008 owing to the global credit crisis.

Purslow is currently in the process of trying to raise £100m for a 25 per cent stake in Liverpool which would dilute the shareholdings of George Gillett and Tom Hicks, minimise debt and allow work to be carried on.

Everton, on the other hand, need to either wait for a site allotted by the city council or just redevelop Goodison Park itself.

GARY NEVILLE: LIVERPOOL DESERVED IT

“You get what you deserve as a team, don’t you?” he said. “We are where we are because we deserve to be there. And it is the same with Liverpool. We went out at the group stage ourselves a few years back. They haven’t performed well enough in the Champions League this season to get the results, simple as that.”

However, Neville's ill-feelings may run deeper than that. In 'Fifteen minutes that shook the World', Gary Neville was portayed as "rat boy" who despises scousers. The film about the unforgetable Champions League comeback also included cameos from Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher.

Neville also opened up about Manchester United's loss to Besiktas JK.

“It was very disappointing,” he said. “But we just didn’t do enough in the last third. Conceding a goal in the first half set us back a little bit and gave Besiktas something to hang on to. But usually we would expect to score a goal in what was something like 96 or 97 minutes at Old Trafford and we didn’t do that."
