Probably not a good idea, as that will only cost the club money - let alone the possibility of other schedule clashes further down the road.
Not sure it’ll cost anymore than it is now throwing huge amounts at trades to get them in.
I think that it's possible that you could get charged more, as Liverpool's a Category A game and people might be sitting in more expensive seats.
I dont think that it would make sense to the contractor though. My best estimate is about £30M liquidated damages as it stands, it would be closer to £150M if we played at Wembley for the whole season.
Serious question, why do you think the contractor will be paying it?
I have not seen the contract but it is very likely to be turnkey, i.e. the contractor hands over the stadium on a specific date with everything working ready to go. Any sub-contractors, nominated or other are almost certainly under the control of the main contractor, that's the way a modern contract works. So unless Levy has used a bespoke contract, which is unlikely as he has used Consultants all the way through the project, damages will apply.
It's a major issue that needs sorting out that will have knock-on effects until it is fixed. Having a 10% overrun on a 4 year construction project is not in any way unusual though. We've got a contingency plan which we are implementing. Why is that a shambles?
