It's only my opinion but I really don't like the proposed sculpture- it makes me feel really uncomfortable.

Of course the only endorsement of it that would matter is that of the families.

as some of the families will refuse to endorse it and the fact that the city council have said that they did not commission it... it looks as though it will not be a permanent 'memorial'...

the artist seems like his intentions were honourable but maybe he's misjudged how he thought people would react... it's more like picasso's 'guernica' than a traditional memorial...

i wasn't there on the day but the image seems a bit strong as a memorial... especially for people who survived or had family/friends who died...

the memorial at anfield is in keeping with what most people's idea of what a memorial should be...
