Liverpool fan ‘Gary’ has slammed his club in no uncertain terms on talkSPORT last night, sensationally claiming he would swap his allegiances to Everton.
The 40-year Liverpool fan made his feelings known in relation to the proposed European Super League (ESL), in which Liverpool would join a host of Europe’s elite clubs in creating a closed-shop American-style league.
Backed by American investment bank J. P. Morgan, the system would ensure vastly-expanded and more stable streams of income for Europe’s elite – but it would mean the end of football pyramids across Europe.
The proposal has been fiercely criticised by the likes of FIFA, UEFA and the Premier League, with Everton releasing a strongly worded statement this morning condemning the breakaway ‘big six’ clubs in a fiery fashion.
‘Gary’ took aim at Liverpool, claiming the Reds’ ownership is out of touch with fans – and even claimed he would buy an Everton season ticket.
“Liverpool’s owners are totally not in touch with the fans. But Klopp is,” claimed the fan.
“I’d be buying a season ticket for Everton if Liverpool joined the Super League], I’m that sick.”

If there were ever a more necessary circumstance in which to unite the red and blue halves of Merseyside, it would be this.
The ESL has seen near-universal condemnation and transcends the rivalry that exists in Liverpool.
From Everton’s perspective, they should be proud that their club has issued such an upfront statement against their league counterparts – but Liverpool’s fans are as much the victims of their own club’s financial ambitions as anyone else.
